Hi,
It is on purpose.
It is not clear if camera and microphone could be used in background in a foreground service. What is clear is that it is not possible for older Android version.

There are multiple topics on stackoverflow about this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/67284842/camera2-cameramanager-opencamera-exception-from-time-to-time-on-some-devices

I'm intended to make a Picture in Picture feature for android, for that i guess camera and microphone will work in background. Is there any way to do now?

There is no background support for @api.video/react-native-livestream.

There is no background support for @api.video/react-native-livestream.

are you planning to do it in future?

Maybe. Just not right now.
Are you 100% sure you need background for PiP?

yes when the app is put to background state a PiP should appear showing the stream, that's the requiremnet.

Could you provide a sample so we can test this quickly?
