# INPlayMediaIntentResponseCode.continueInApp

The system should launch the app in the foreground to play the media.

```
case continueInApp
```

## Discussion

Because the lifespan of an app extension is short, media playback should happen in your app, not in the Intents app extension. To play the media with your app in the foreground, return [`INPlayMediaIntentResponseCode.continueInApp`](/documentation/Intents/INPlayMediaIntentResponseCode/continueInApp) as the response [`code`](/documentation/Intents/INPlayMediaIntentResponse/code).

> Note:
> Your app should be in the foreground when playing a video requested with a media intent shortcut.
