Wanting to watch a makeup tutorial or a famous music video, YouTube is the answer for all. The Google-owned video platform is arguably the most popular and the widely-used one, given that we use it all the time. However, one thing that tends to bother many of us is YouTube’s inability to natively play videos when we aren’t using the app. The constant need to stay on YouTube while a video plays, proves to be a pain when all we want is to listen to the audio part.

While YouTube still doesn’t have the feature to play videos in the background, there are a couple of hacks we can use to do the same. Hence, read on to know how you use YouTube without sticking to the app. How to play YouTube videos in the background?

This way, you can play YouTube videos in the background without opening the app throughout. You can also click on the video option in the VLC app to get back the video app again. However, pressing the back option will stop the video and you will have to add it to the app again. Hence, avoid doing that. Two things to note are that the VLC trick doesn’t work for music playlists on YouTube (you have to make one on the VLC app) and that this trick doesn’t work for iOS users. How to play YouTube videos in the background? (Method 2)This trick can help you play YouTube videos in the background with the use of the Chrome browser or others such as Mozilla Firefox, Opera, or more. Here’s what you need to do:

Unfortunately, unless you’re a subscriber to YouTube Premium ($11.99 a month) or YouTube Music ($9.99 a month), your ability to listen to a YouTube video in the background is limited — doable, but limited. Android users have it slightly better in this respect. Recent versions of the Android YouTube app allow you to use Picture-in-Picture (PiP) to view (or listen to) almost any YouTube video while you’re reading your tweets or checking out the latest news — that is, any video except one that’s labeled as being music. We’ll look at a workaround for music videos in Android — and for iPhone users as well (who, as of this writing, don’t have access to the PiP feature). But first, here’s how you enable PiP for YouTube in Android.
1/6 Now, when you go into the YouTube app and start playing a video, you can simply press the Home key at the bottom of your screen, and the video will shrink down, allowing you to go to another app while it continues to play. If you tap the center of the video, a small box will appear; tap again, and the video will go to full size. You will also be able to pause it if you want. A small “x” in the upper-right corner will stop the video and banish the box. There is a very large “but” here, however. As mentioned previously, PiP will not work if you try to play anything classified as a music video. For that, you need to be a subscriber to YouTube Music or YouTube Premium. There are a couple of workarounds, however. You can play a single track in the background on both an Android phone and an iPhone — but it’s a bit fiddly. And I was unable to play more than a single song in a playlist in either OS. When I tried it on a phone running Android 10, the same song kept repeating, while on an iPhone running iOS 13, the music simply stopped. However, if you want to give it a try, here’s how to play music in the background of your mobile device. On an Android phoneThis method, which I first saw written up in Digital Trends works in Chrome and may work in other mobile browsers as well.
1/4 On an iPhonePlaying a free YouTube video — any video — on an iPhone is even more tricky, especially because some methods that previously worked were hammered by iOS 13. I finally found a method that actually works (most of the time, anyway) in a video produced by Daniel About Tech.
1/5 I had no trouble playing a single video in the background using this method. If it doesn’t work for you at first, then, according to Daniel, if you go back into Safari and restart the video, it should play. But while I was able to play a single video in background, as in the Android workaround, I was unable to play more than a single track. Vox Media has affiliate partnerships.
