I need to record a video while music app is playing

HI, I couldn't find the answer anywhere, and maybe it's not a common question.

I need to record a video with the camera app, but I need the music app (or whatever app, like spotify) to keep playing the song in the background, because I want to record the song as well. But the default behavior, when you choose video mode, is to stop the music from playing.

I am asking this because the iPad is the only thing I got with me at the moment, so I need everything done with it (the music playing and the camera recording)

Is that even possible, or the default behavior cannot be bypassed?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the help Demo.

I am gonna have to find another way to do this then, because the iMovie solution is not exactly what I need, and I was imagining that the default behavior could not be override.

Thanks again 🙂

Hey this app might do what your asking for, Media Monster - Record While Playing Music

https://appsto.re/us/zc4o0.i

This app lets you record videos while playing music from any app, whether it is spotify, pandora, Apple Music, or any music app. Although it is has extra functionalities if your playing music from the Apple Music app.

You cannot override the default behavior. The music app stops so that you can record your own audio as the video is being recorded. Apps like iMovie for iOS will allow you to add music tracks to the video. I am not familiar with how iMovie works, but I know that you can do it. I would imagine that there are other apps that have this functionality as well.
