You can use a mobile browser to view videos. This mode keeps playing even if other apps are closed. However, if you have other applications open, you should close them first. You can also use Picture-in-picture mode to watch videos with your phone&#8217;s screen off. This method works great for playing YouTube videos while other apps are closed. You may find it difficult to switch between two apps while your phone&#8217;s screen is locked.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FireTube\"><\/span>FireTube<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Fortunately, there is a way to play YouTube videos with the screen off. Using FireTube, you can listen to the audio track of any YouTube video. Once installed, FireTube will open up a small player that will play the audio track. You can close the app or turn off the screen to resume listening to the audio track. If you need to take a break from watching videos, FireTube can also help you do that.<\/p>\n<p>This app is free, so you can use it on your tablet or phone without a third-party download. It is compatible with millions of YouTube songs and has a music player mode that lets you play videos even when the screen is off. FireTube is an excellent alternative to YouTube, and it will not waste data or bandwidth while watching videos. And because it uses less data than other streaming apps, it&#8217;s great for people on metered networks or needing to save mobile data.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"NewPipe\"><\/span>NewPipe<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>NewPipe for YouTube with screen off allows you to view videos without turning your phone&#8217;s display on. It has all of the features of YouTube, including ad-free streaming and the ability to download videos for offline use. It also allows you to change the quality of the stream and download videos for offline access. NewPipe can even run in the background, so you can view videos without having to turn your phone on.<\/p>\n<p>If you are worried about the privacy of your data, you should avoid downloading the app directly from the Google Play Store. Newpipe uses the YouTube API to pull the content you need to view the video. Once downloaded, you can choose to play the video in the background while resizing the screen. To install NewPipe on your Android phone, follow the instructions below. If you have a security concern, toggle the option &#8220;Allow installation from unknown sources.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Picture-in-picture_mode\"><\/span>Picture-in-picture mode<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A new feature for iOS devices has made its way to YouTube. The picture-in-picture mode is currently only available for Premium subscribers. The feature will eventually be available to all users of YouTube, but not any time soon. Users of other platforms will also have to wait a little longer for the feature to become available on YouTube. Until then, though, it should be available on the iOS app. It&#8217;s a great addition for iOS users who frequently switch between watching videos and browsing the web.<\/p>\n<p>The PiP mode is a great way to multitask on YouTube. Available on Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS, this feature can be a great way to watch two videos in one. This new feature is also compatible with most major web browsers. Chromium-based browsers, such as Chrome, support the feature. It&#8217;s also supported on mobile devices, which is good news for many users.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"YouTube_Music_Premium\"><\/span>YouTube Music Premium<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you want to play YouTube music premium without having to turn off your phone&#8217;s screen, here are a few tips that will help you do just that. First of all, you should enable desktop site on your phone. This is necessary for music and videos to continue to play when the phone is locked. By default, the lock screen will stop music playback when you turn off the phone, but this can be prevented by disabling proximity sensor on your phone.<\/p>\n<p>Another thing to keep in mind is that background music won&#8217;t be available on the free tier of YouTube Music. This is because YouTube wants to get users to pay for the premium service. However, there are a couple of legal solutions that you can try. These solutions are called YouTube Vanced or New Pipe, and will allow you to play background music without turning on your phone. This is a more advanced option for those who aren&#8217;t comfortable with screen off music.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Play YouTube With Screen Off How to play YouTube with screen off?
