Can Android YouTube Play in background?

Don’t open up the YouTube app, stay in Chrome.

Next up, you must pause the video and then switch to another tab or app.

The volume notification will remain in place, hit play, and you can continue to listen to the video in the background.

It’s that simple, but the video at the top can also guide you through the steps.

Can you play YouTube app in background?

Until now. Using the YouTube app, iPhone or iPad users can keep listening to music while they get on with something else. And all that’s needed is some headphones with a controller. To force YouTube audio to keep playing in the background, open up the relevant video and start it playing.
