Are you tired of not being able to listen to YouTube videos when you switch to another app or lock your screen on your Android device? Well, there is a way to play YouTube videos in the background on your Android mobile device and continue listening to them even with the screen locked.

Firstly, it is important to note that this method only supports playing YouTube videos with a browser, not the official YouTube app. If you find a way to play videos with the official app, please let us know.

To get started, open your favorite browser and type in the YouTube address correctly as youtube.com. Then, search for the video that you would like to play in the background.

When you play a video with a browser, a notification usually appears in the notification bar. To play the video in the background, use the status bar play option. Then, close the browser and click the play button in the status bar. However, the video will disappear when you click the home button. To prevent this, follow this trick: open the web browser again and switch it to desktop mode, which can usually be found in the settings. Then, play the YouTube video again.

Now, when you click the home button, the video will pause, and a play button will appear in the status bar again. Click the play button, and the YouTube video will continue playing even when you lock your screen.

That’s it! You can now enjoy listening to YouTube videos in the background on your Android device. Give it a try and let us know in the comments if it works for you.
