Play video on background

I working on an app that creates a playlist based on user interest. One of the required features is to be able to play the audio(video) on background, kind of like YouTube Red.

Based on my research it seems like background audio/video is not supported yet. Are there other tools that can be used to get that functionality?

Hey @rexonms we currently do not support this if you want to use Expo. You can make a request for it on https://expo.canny.io.

Outside of Expo theres a website called https://native.directory where you can search for libraries. I found this one that seems to support background audio: https://github.com/react-native-community/react-native-video

Let me know if I can be of any more help.
