There can be many reasons to play YouTube videos in the background, let’s say you
are watching a tutorial on YouTube and you need to follow along step by step.
Or let’s say you simply want to play your music playlist and minimize it.
YouTube already offers a premium service with a monthly subscription which doesn’t show
ads and that’s why you can play YouTube videos in the background.
YouTube premium offers ad-free video, the option to continue playing videos or music
"in the background" (meaning the audio will continue if you minimize the app), music and
video downloads, and access to YouTube original movies and TV shows.
But YouTube premium is not yet available in all countries.
If you belong to any such country where it’s not available, try this method:
To play YouTube videos in the background on an iPhone, all you need is Safari web browser,
no additional apps or jailbreak is needed.
Open Safari web browser and go to YouTube.com.
Now, tap on the share icon and slide right until you find request desktop site.
Once you find that, tap on request desktop site, this will load the desktop version of
YouTube in your browser.
Now search for any video you want to play and tap on the play button, this will start
playing the video.
Let the video play and swipe down from the top right corner to open control center.
If you can see the video title name in music widget, that’s fine, if not, 3D touch the
music widget and tap on play button.
Now switch back to the browser and pause the video for a second.
Then play the video again.
Now, if you open the control center again, you’ll be able to see the video title name
there.
Keep the video playing and minimize it, the video will keep playing in the background.
Now you can power down or lock the iPhone and music will keep playing in the background.
If you want to play YouTube videos in the background on Android phone, you’ll need
a browser that supports playing YouTube videos in the background.
One such browser is Kiwi browser.
Go to Google Play Store and download Kiwi browser.
Wait for the browser to download and once it is downloaded, visit YouTube.com in Kiwi
browser.
It’ll open the normal mobile version of YouTube that is m.youtube.com
