Music is paused when Video is playing

I’m using the <Video> component as a background video for one of my screens, much like the referenced login screen. I set muted to true but when I have music playing, when you open the app, the music is paused. I can see how this is probably expected behavior, most of the time, but when we are using the video in the background like the login screen, it would be nice if the music could keep playing.

Any ideas how this can be worked around?

This is great for a background video. But what if you want to have a background video in one part of your app and a regular video playing elsewhere. If we set it in AppDelegate, it’s a global setting for the whole app right? Could this be part of the props for the video component so we can control it a bit more? What do you think @brentvatne?

Any ideas on this? My main app Scene is using a video as a background and this is a deal breaker.

This should be reopened.
