Together - Record Video While Playing Music is the must-have app for anyone who wants to listen to music and record video at the same time.

Looking for a free app to record video while playing music? Want to play music while recording video on your iPhone and Android device? We have got you covered.

If you like scrolling through Instagram Reels and TikTok videos, you know just how much of an influence the correct music has on a video. The biggest example of this theory is the popularity of reel or TikTok audios. Almost every week, new audio goes viral on Spotify, which is then used in the reels of famous content creators. The point is that music can be the unique selling point of your videos if you know how to use it correctly. On both of these social media platforms, there are specific options where you can create a reel/video. Inside, you can add music and special effects and cut and edit as many videos as you'd like. Isn't that convenient?

While there isn't an option to keep Spotify playing while recording a video, you can easily play the sound on your smartphone's music player while recording the video. Not sure how to do that? Don't you worry! We're not going to hang you out to dry.

Read on to learn all there is to know about recording video with music and playing music and recording video at the same time.

How to take videos without pausing background music:

1. Play audio from any source (Apple Music, Spotify, Podcasts, SoundCloud, etc.)

2. Pause the music if you want, or keep it playing - it doesn't matter.

3. Open the Mideo app and start recording. (Notice how your music doesn't pause! If it does, resume the music using your headphones or with Control Center.)

4. While recording in Mideo, you can use Control Center to restart, resume, or change the song.

To record videos WITH the background music in the video, play audio to a speaker. (your device’s built-in speaker or an external speaker)

To record videos WITHOUT the background music in the video, play audio to headphones.

What’s New

Exactly what I was looking for!

First off, let me just say that the app is great. It’s simple and does exactly what you expect it to do.
My use case is that I need to record videos of my workouts for my rehabilitation coach who I interact with virtually. Doing this without music in my headphones lead to some dreary workouts, but this app changed all that.
I put in my air pods, start my music, and open the app and I’m ready to record. The ability to trim the videos afterwards is great as well!
Just a couple lines of feedback (I’m using an iPhone 11):
1. I would recommend changing the “Use Video” to something like “Save” as I was confused at first on what that meant.
2. When done with my video and the app goes back to the main screen while “trimming” my music stops and I have to restart my music and open your app again
3. Maybe a quick tutorial when you open the app for the first time especially the trimming feature, as I butchered a workout video understanding the mechanic.
Overall this is a GREAT app and a game changer for those of us with an iPhone and wish to record our workouts whether it be for a coach or yourself to perfect your form!

Rip off!!!

got this app because i FIGURED it would work better than others SINCE you have to pay for it... learned my lesson... had glitches when i used it.. music would stop.. worked after about 3 attempts(for each recording!!!) recorded a few vids.. the first short one took forever to “save itself” (after you record it has to save ITSELF- if it doesnt do this-BOOM!!! your vid is GONE!!) DONT refresh either.. your vid will be GONE!! The other vid i made wasnt downloading.. it was taking tooo long- error message would appear- many times- apparently it had trouble downloading.. and then suddenly it was BOOM.. GONE FOREVER... AGHHHHHH!!! and when you look for answers.... the FAQ will already have a response to this issue.. “its NOT the app...its YOUR PHONE...” Hmmmm.. they even have a “refund” quick guide... GO FIGURE.. seriously!!! STAY AWAY.. i imagine the good reviews on here are from the excited first time users who couldnt wait to review this before they actually got to work with it?? idk... THIEVES!!! I REGRET buying this crap..

We've made a lot of improvements since your review, so these issues you were experiencing shouldn't be a problem anymore. We're sorry for the issues before and hope you'll give us another chance!

Didn’t Do What I Thought

So, I d/l this after reading reviews thinking it could work. I was looking to sing and record myself at the same time over an instrumental. It wouldn’t work if I had the camera facing me using the button to flip the camera, but instead I had to manually turn my phone around to face me. I played the music on my phone and then would begin recording, seemed to work fine, but when I played it back each time all I could hear was myself sing and no music. I ended up using my own camera on my iPhone to record myself by propping it up on my laptop to face me, played the instrumental from my laptop as well and used an iRig Pre and Shure microphone plugged into my iPhone to successfully do what I was hoping to do.

While this app tried to provide a way to do this, unfortunately it didn’t work. I don’t think there should be a charge unless it’s doing what it says it will do.

Please update to the latest version, these issues should be resolved. Feel free to email us at if you run into any issues!
