# Broadcasting Live Stream in Background

At times, you may need to answer a phone call or open another app during a broadcast, or perhaps you accidentally pressed a button to open another app. The PRISM app can continue broadcasting live even when running in the background.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Due to platform OS policies, iOS apps do not support background live broadcasting.

***

For Android devices, you need to toggle a setting to activate the background broadcasting feature, as shown in the image below. Simply go to Settings, then enable the following option: **Allow display over other apps**. This will allow the live broadcast to continue uninterrupted in the background while you use other apps on your device.
