How to play YouTube in the background
- Use the web browsing application
With this application, you can play YouTube video in the background, as there is a simple trick that a user can do to listen to video while doing other things on the phone, but we strongly advise you to try this trick on Google Chrome if On other web browsers you use.
All you have to do is open the web browser and search for the video you want to download and then click on the search results, and note that the video should be opened within the browser and not within the YouTube application. If you can not do so, try typing "m.youtube.com" Title bar and press Enter, then search for and play the video inside YouTube.
Once the video is playing, press the Options menu button in the browser and search for and activate the Desktop site option. This will display the desktop version of YouTube; Then you press the Home button to exit the browser completely and then drag the status bar down and you will find the Google Chrome panel (or web browser) to control the video, just click the Play button and the video will work in the background no matter what moves between applications.
- Application of NewPipe
The NewPipe application is an application under F-droid, an open source repository for Android applications not available on Google Play so before you use it, you must install the F-droid application first. In general, the application performs the task perfectly. After you run it you can search for and play the video and all you have to do is press the Background button and then you will exit the application where you can run it through the panel shown in the status bar. The NewPipe application also allows you to download videos or view them in a floating window on the screen.
- Application of Snaptube
Snaptube is one of the most popular Android apps, although it is not available on the Google Play store, but is downloaded manually by the user and installed as an APK. The application allows users to view and download YouTube clips with the highest resolution and all formats easily, but one of the features of the application is that it allows you to continue to display the video even after closing. Meaning that you are playing the video on the Snaptube application and as it works, drag the video down and then the video will be displayed in a floating mini window on the screen, so wherever you go between the applications the video will still work as shown in the picture above.
