This feature is only what is missing to make the expo-av or video perfect!. Please release it as soon as you can :)

Sorry expo i cant wait more, i leave you, bye!

There is no way this feature has been waiting for more than 4 years! It is so mandatory and much needed for a huge portion of apps.

PLEASE - Let's work on it ASAP, I've got few clients wanting apps that supports the control panel - I AM WILLING TO PAY FOR THIS TO WORK

Expo please can we allow podcast apps play in the background. It has stopped and it has become inconsistent 😞this is sad we can't do anything about it

I would like to have this for my podcast app as well!

Please Implement this fast. I have to use this in my app and I can't. I am just waiting for it and I can't wait.

Looking forward to it.

I do need this and thank you very much for considering! It will be a game changer and I’m currently using Ionic, because it supports it, but if you do, I will change overnight!

Can't wait ! Really need it :) Thanks a lot !!

I do like expo a lot and I do really appreciate your work a lot, but don't you think 3 years for something primitive like this is enough?
