Capacitive buttons

[RadiantDuck]

Hi all! Might be a silly question but it's been many a moon since I've used a phone with capacitive buttons. I know the s7 has a feature to lock the keys during playing games, is there something similar during streaming, like Netflix, YouTube and iplayer etc? Worried that I might accidentally press something while watching.

As far as I know for Netflix no. If you press something just go back

Is there a way to keep them on all the time

Yes. Once you get used to location I find just keeping them off is better. I find them distracting.

I should have asked HOW do I keep them on all the time. Thanks

Could you just add Netflix to the gaming launcher to give you the ability to turn off the buttons?

Nope.

Nope.

It doesn't let you add Netflix to the folder?

No. Says it needs to request something.

Is that so you cannot record off Netflix?

I was thinking that the build in screen recording is great but not just for games. App reviews would be good.

What decides what can and canNOT be added?

Root decides!

Will pinning the app help you reach your goal?

Search for this in the play store.
"Touch Lock - Toddler Lock"

It will lock your buttons. I used it for youtube on note 5 and should work here.

*edit*
Oh and when root comes you could do this too.
