Want The Ranch to start playing the moment you open the app? You can set that up in just a few quick steps.
Step 1: Open Settings
From the home screen of the app, tap the gear icon in the top left corner.
Step 2: Go to Player Settings
Inside your settings menu, tap “Player Settings.”
Step 3: Turn On “Play Stream on Startup”
Find the option labeled “Play Stream on Startup” and turn the toggle ON.
Once it’s turned on, your app should look like the example shown below, with the toggle switched on.
What This Does
Now, every time you open The Ranch app, the live stream will automatically start playing!
Important Notes
Make sure you turn on “Play Stream on Startup” and not just Podcast Autoplay, as they are different settings.
This feature works the same on both iPhone and Android.
The stream will start automatically when you open the app, but it will not play if the app is fully closed in the background.
Pro Tip
If you listen often, this is the easiest way to make sure The Ranch is always ready to go the second you open the app.
