# configuresApplicationAudioSessionToMixWithOthers

A Boolean value that Indicates whether the capture session configures the app’s audio session to mix with others.

```
var configuresApplicationAudioSessionToMixWithOthers: Bool { get set }
```

## Discussion

By default, a capture session’s audio session interrupts the audio of other apps. To enable background audio from other apps to continue while capturing video, set this value to <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/true>.

> Note:
> This property value has no effect when the value of ``doc://com.apple.avfoundation/documentation/AVFoundation/AVCaptureSession/usesApplicationAudioSession`` is <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/false>. It also has no effect on Live Photo movie complement capture (where music is always mixed).

The default value is <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/false>.
