Workarounds to Record Video While Playing Music

1. Snapchat

Open the Snapchat app and steadily press the "Capture" button until you record the video. The video will be recorded with the music playing in the background.

If you can't hold the button down for a long time, there is another way to record the video.

Without continuously pressing the “Capture” button, recording video from Snapchat can only be done in iOS using the feature called “Assistive Touch”.

Here's how:

  • Open Snapchat Settings, go to General> Accessibility and select Assistive Touch.
  • Activate or deactivate the Assisted Touch and press on "Create new gesture".
  • Press on the screen and move your hand in a circular motion or any other way you like.
  • This gesture can be given a name by clicking the Save button.
  • On the registration screen, press Assist Touch, select the "custom" option followed by the name of the new video gesture you created.
  • A circular icon will appear on the screen. Hold it down, drag and drop it onto the capture button at the bottom.
  • The video will start recording by itself with the background music playing on the device.
  • The video will be recorded until the time interval of the gesture you created is completed.
  • If you want to record a longer video, you need to create a gesture that is longer than the duration of the video.
  • After recording the video, click the Save button.
