Smartphones are now equipped with the ability to run multiple apps simultaneously. But if you’re a Roblox player, such technology is useless, as the app doesn’t allow you to run music streaming apps while you’re playing. Fortunately, there’s a workaround.
In this article, you will learn why you can’t listen to music while playing Roblox on mobile devices. We will also provide ways to bypass this problem and help you enhance your adventures in Roblox.
Why You Can’t Listen to Music While Playing Roblox on Mobile
You can’t listen to music while playing Roblox mobile because the app prioritizes game background sounds than music from other apps like Spotify. This limitation also prevents potential lag or performance issues from running the game and the music app simultaneously.
Playing music in Roblox while live streaming is also not allowed. This violates the rights of the music creators and breaks copyright laws. If you do not have the necessary permissions or licenses, you, as the streamer, and the platform could face legal consequences.
