How do you pause and resume a looped player from one screen while on another?

HI, so I have a problem. I have a song set in my player on my screen1 on a loop so that it continues to play while I progress through my other screens. The media file is one that I uploaded from my computer to the program. Let's say I'm on my screen2 or screen3, is there a way for me to pause and resume the loop that is currently playing on my screen1?

I believe you have to return to the screen with the player component that is playing to do this.

You could try working with the PlayOnlyInForeground block to see if you get any joy.

Alternatively, consider virtual screens instead of real screens, then you have full control over the player.
