Play music and record simultaneously

When i play music in Spotify or another music app and then open camera and press “video” in order to record something while playing music, the music won’t play, it would shut down. Many people can record themselves dancing or singing while playing the music but I cannot. Do you know what to do in order to let the music keep playing while recording a video?

iPhone 11 Pro Max, iOS 14

Hi taya66!


It sounds like you want to record video while playing music from your iPhone, and we're happy to help. It is expected behavior for the iPhone to pause music while recording video, so you would need to play the music from another device to accomplish this. You can let Apple know that you'd like this feature to be available in the future:
