One of the most annoying restrictions on YouTube for Android is that it automatically pauses on the video you are watching or listening to when you navigate to another screen or open another application on your device. But there are ways to do it. Read on to learn how to play YouTube videos in the background.
Free solution
The easiest and most cost-effective solution is to use the FireFox browser instead of the YouTube app. This browser will allow you to continue listening to the video of your choice with the screen disabled or doing something else on your device. You can download FireFox below. If you want more features, read on.YouTube Red
One way to play YouTube videos in the background is to buy a Red YouTube subscription, which costs $ 9.99 a month. This comes with the feature called "Background Playback" that allows your video to play in the background when you open different applications or turn off the screen.An additional bonus to YouTube Red is that it also removes YouTube ads and includes a subscription to Google Play Music. If you already have Google Play Music, you will get YouTube Red for free.
Awesome Pop-up Video Pro app
Another option to play your videos in the background is Awesome Pop-up Video Pro. Now, it does not play YouTube videos in the background, as such, rather than playing them in a small pop-up mobile window, which can be moved to the side of the screen to get a similar effect . You can download the application below.
Note that although this application allows you to play back videos in the background, this will not allow you to play them with the screen disabled. The Mozilla Firefox option does.
With this app, you only pay a few bucks in single purchase instead of a monthly YouTube Red payment. You will not have access to the great features available from the monthly plan, but it's an inexpensive and quick way to play YouTube videos in the background.
