# Help & FAQ: Prayer Audio Controller > Answers to common questions about Prayer Audio Controller: browsers, Spotify, prayer times, location, settings, and account. **Canonical URL:** https://prayeraudiocontroller.com/help.html --- ## Sign-in and setup **How does the sign-in code work?** When you enter your email and tap "Send sign-in email", Prayer Audio Controller sends a message to your inbox with a magic link and a 6-digit code. Click the link (or type the code) to sign in. Both expire after 10 minutes. **I didn't receive the sign-in email.** Check your spam folder first. The message comes from Prayer Audio Controller via Resend. If it is not there, wait 30-60 seconds and try again. If no email arrives after a second attempt, email support@prayeraudiocontroller.com. **What is the difference between Google sign-in and email sign-in?** Both create the same account and give the same trial or subscription access. Google sign-in is one click with no code to copy. Email sign-in works with any email address, including work addresses and non-Google providers. --- ## Browser compatibility **Does Prayer Audio Controller work on Brave, Edge, Arc, or Opera?** Yes. Prayer Audio Controller works on any Chromium-based browser that supports Manifest V3 extensions: Chrome, Brave, Edge, Arc, and Opera. The minimum requirement is Chrome 114 or equivalent. Firefox and Safari are not supported. **Does it work on mobile Chrome?** No. Chrome on iOS and Android does not support extensions. Prayer Audio Controller is a desktop browser extension only. A dedicated mobile app is in development. --- ## Audio sources **Does it mute Spotify?** Spotify Web Player (open.spotify.com in a browser tab): yes. Spotify desktop app: no. Chrome extensions can only control audio inside browser tabs. To mute Spotify at prayer time, use the web player instead of the desktop app. **Why doesn't the Spotify desktop app mute?** Chrome extensions can only control audio playing inside Chrome tabs. The Spotify desktop app runs at the operating system level, outside the browser, so the extension cannot reach it. The same applies to Apple Music desktop, iTunes, VLC, and any other app that runs outside the browser. **What audio sources are muted?** All Chrome tabs actively playing audio: - YouTube and YouTube Music - Spotify Web Player (open.spotify.com) - Apple Music Web (music.apple.com) - SoundCloud, Mixcloud - Twitch, Mixlr, and other livestreams - Web radio (TuneIn, Radio Garden, and similar) - Any other tab playing audio **What is not affected?** Everything outside Chrome tabs: Spotify desktop app, Apple Music / iTunes desktop, system audio, phone calls, Zoom, FaceTime, Teams, alarms, ringtones, notifications, and other browsers. --- ## Prayer times **Why are Sabah / İmsak / Güneş shown this way?** When the Diyanet (Turkey) calculation method is selected, the extension follows official Diyanet terminology: Sabah is the prayer name (Fajr), İmsak is the pre-dawn imsak time shown below it, and Güneş (Sunrise) appears as a reference row only. It is not a muted prayer, just a time marker. **Why are prayer times off by a few minutes?** Prayer times are calculated on-device using the adhan.js library. Different organisations use slightly different sun-angle values for Fajr and Isha, so calculated times can vary by a few minutes from your local mosque. Fix: change the calculation method to your country's authority (Diyanet for Turkey, ISNA for North America, Egyptian, etc.) and set a mute start offset to align with your local adhan. **How do I change location?** Open the popup and click "Change" next to your current location. Search for any city by name. The schedule recalculates immediately. **Does Chrome need to stay open?** Yes. Prayer Audio Controller runs inside Chrome. If Chrome is closed at a prayer time, that mute window is skipped. For shops that keep a computer on during business hours, this works as expected. **My computer clock is off: will prayer times be affected?** Yes. If your system clock is off by more than 2 minutes, mutes will fire at the wrong time. The extension shows a warning banner when it detects clock drift of more than 2 minutes. --- ## Settings and controls **How do I adjust the early/late mute timing?** Open the popup and find the "Mute start" row. Set an amount (0-10 minutes) and choose early or late. Set it early if your local mosque's call tends to come before the calculated time. **How do I disable Fajr or any other prayer?** In the popup, scroll to the "Mute for" row. Click any chip to toggle it off. Disabled prayers appear with a strikethrough and are greyed out. They still show in the schedule. **How long does the mute last?** Default is 6 minutes. You can change it to 1-30 minutes in the "Mute duration" row of the popup. **How do I change the language?** On the website, use the language switcher in the top navigation bar. The website supports English, Turkish, Arabic, Indonesian, and Urdu. The extension popup language follows your browser's display language setting. --- ## Active mute **What happens when a prayer time is reached?** Prayer Audio Controller mutes every Chrome tab playing audio, shows a small banner at the top of each muted tab with a countdown and a "Restore now" button, shows a red MUTE badge on the extension icon, and sends a system notification. After the duration, each tab is automatically restored. **How do I restore audio early?** Three ways: click "Restore now" in the in-page banner; tap "Restore audio" in the system notification; or click the extension icon to open the popup and click "Restore audio now". --- ## Permissions and privacy **Is the extension safe?** Yes. Prayer Audio Controller only uses website access to show a small mute banner inside tabs when audio is muted. It does not read page content, form fields, messages, cookies, or browsing history. Prayer times are calculated locally. Tab mute state stays in your browser. **Why does Chrome say the extension can "read and change all my data on all websites"?** Chrome uses this phrase for any extension that can display content inside browser tabs. Prayer Audio Controller uses this access for one purpose: to show the mute banner inside tabs it silenced. The banner is injected into a Shadow DOM element. It does not interact with page content in any way. **Why does it need my location?** Prayer times depend on your geographic location. The extension calculates them on-device using your coordinates. Nothing is sent to any server. You can also set your city manually if you prefer not to share your precise location. --- ## Account and billing **What does the 7-day trial include?** Full access to every feature: all five prayers, every calculation method, mute duration and offset controls, per-prayer toggles, and the restore button.
