How to Play YouTube Videos in Background? YouTube is one of the most diverse content platforms in the world, and it is easy to find tutorials, TV shows, and even the latest music videos.
In addition, YouTube is one of the best ways to listen to music, but the problem is that the audio stops playing when you switch to another app.
Therefore, this means that you cannot do anything like email, Instagram, or web browsing with your device when you are playing YouTube videos.
When closing the YouTube app will stop the video from playing, but there are some simple workarounds that will allow you to listen to a video in the background.

From the past few months, we have seen YouTube boost its YouTube premium service and the benefits it has over the ad-supported version.
YouTube Premium also comes with ad-free access to YouTube music – a replacement for Google Play Music – and Premium also gives you the option to turn off the screen in that app.
In this YouTube Premium version, one of the biggest features of this paid subscription is the ability to play YouTube videos in the background.
Which means that you can listen music or play YouTube videos in background while doing some other task on your phone.
