Have you ever tried to listen to music or a podcast on YouTube while doing other tasks on your phone, only to find that the video stops playing as soon as you switch to another app? It can be frustrating, especially if you’re used to multitasking. But fear not, because I’m here to show you how to make YouTube play in the background on your device!

Method 1: Using YouTube Premium

If you’re willing to invest a little bit of money, YouTube Premium is the easiest and most convenient way to play YouTube videos in the background. With a YouTube Premium subscription, you can listen to videos with your screen off or while using other apps.

To subscribe to YouTube Premium, follow these steps:

  1. Open the YouTube app on your device and tap on your profile picture in the top right corner.
  2. Select “Get YouTube Premium”.
  3. Choose a subscription plan that suits you and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the payment process.

Once you have subscribed to YouTube Premium, you can simply play a video in the YouTube app, then press the home or power button to turn off your screen or switch to another app. The audio will continue playing in the background.

Method 2: Using a Web Browser

If you don’t want to subscribe to YouTube Premium, you can still play YouTube videos in the background using a web browser on your device. Here’s how:

  1. Open your preferred web browser (such as Chrome, Safari, or Firefox) on your device.
  2. Go to the YouTube website by typing “www.youtube.com” in the address bar.
  3. Search for the video you want to play and start playing it.
  4. Minimize the browser or switch to another app while the video is still playing.
  5. Swipe down from the top of your screen to access the notification panel and find the media controls. You should see the YouTube video listed there.
  6. Tap on the play button to continue playing the audio in the background.

By using a web browser, you can enjoy listening to YouTube videos while doing other tasks on your device. However, please note that this method may not work on all devices or browsers, as YouTube has been known to disable background playback on certain platforms.

Conclusion

Playing YouTube videos in the background can greatly enhance your multitasking experience and allow you to enjoy your favorite music, podcasts, or educational content while using other apps on your device. Whether you choose to subscribe to YouTube Premium or use a web browser, these methods will help you make YouTube play in the background.

So go ahead, give it a try and enjoy uninterrupted playback of your favorite YouTube videos!
