iPhone Hacks 2021: How Do I Record Video While Playing Music on iPhone?

For a variety of reasons, Apple likely stops the music as a person prepares to shoot video on an iPhone. Some users may find this scenario convenient since they do not want their music to keep playing while recording a video as well as it also avoids the inevitable copyright issues, per Cult of Mac.

However, this does not eliminate the possibility of simultaneously capturing video and listening to music on an iPhone at the same time.

A well-known TikTok user @frankmcshan posted a video explaining the in-depth process of how to record video while playing music on an iPhone.

1. iPhone users should head to the "Camera" app then make sure that it is on "Photo" mode.
2. Once the camera is in the Photo mode, open another app, either Spotify or Apple Music for instance, then start playing any desired music.
3. If the video is already playing, iPhone users should head back to the "Camera" app.
4. In the Camera app, the Apple device owner must hold down the shutter button at the bottom of the screen to begin recording the video.
5. Lastly, iPhone users must either hold down the shutter button or slide it to the right to lock the camera in video recording mode.
