It isn’t a setting you can change inside that app. It’s a choice the app’s developer made about how it handles audio.
All questions / Recording and music
Why does my music stop when I start recording video?
Short answerBecause the camera app is taking control of your phone’s audio to use the microphone. Apps can be built to share audio with other apps; the one you’re using isn’t. Try a different camera app, and start the music before you hit record.
