This is cool. I built something similar.

Do you actually have background playback with locked screen? With the latest iOS video will auto pause when screen goes locked in PiP.

I’m on iOS 26.5 and for some reason background playback continues smoothly even when locking the screen.

Are you using Safari?

Yes, nothing fancy.
