This article will provide a few methods, including Picture-in-Picture mode and Floating Tube. But the best way to play YouTube while using other apps is to make sure you&#8217;re on the latest version of your iOS or Mac operating system.<\/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>Sometimes, you may experience picture-in-picture mode problems while playing YouTube. If you are one of those people, you&#8217;ve probably been wondering how to fix this problem. It&#8217;s actually quite simple, but the most important step is to enable this feature on your YouTube account. To do this, follow these simple instructions:<\/p>\n<p>To enable picture-in-picture mode on YouTube, first of all, you must be a subscriber to YouTube Premium. Then, you should have the right browser to view YouTube videos. To see YouTube videos in a separate window, use the Safari extension PiPifier. This free extension works on iPhones, iPads, iPod Touches, Macs, and Windows devices. Make sure that you have a compatible operating system for your device.<\/p>\n<p>To use picture-in-picture mode while using other apps, simply press the home button on your Android device. If you don&#8217;t have the proper operating system, make sure that your device is running an up-to-date version of YouTube. It may have a bug or you&#8217;re using an outdated version. In that case, you&#8217;ll need to disable gesture controls and enable 3-Button Navigation instead.<\/p>\n<p>YouTube&#8217;s picture-in-picture feature has been around for some time. It has been a perk for Premium subscribers and is available worldwide, but only for non-music content in the US at the moment. This feature has been around for Android users for many years, but it&#8217;s finally coming to iOS devices. While you&#8217;re waiting for the new feature, here&#8217;s a guide on how to use picture-in-picture mode on iOS devices.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Floating_Tube_app\"><\/span>Floating Tube app<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Floating Tube app lets you watch YouTube videos in a floating window, allowing you to multitask. The app supports all the main features of the official YouTube app, including the ability to multitask, which means you can play YouTube videos while using other apps. Floating Tube saves mobile data and allows you to change the quality of the video. It also lets you play YouTube videos while in lock mode, which saves even more mobile data.<\/p>\n<p>Floating Tube is a free Android app that allows you to watch YouTube videos in a floating window. You can use other apps while watching YouTube videos, and the app will automatically resume playing the video if you lock your screen. Floating Tube is compatible with both Android and iOS devices. It requires the Display over other apps permission. This application has been downloaded more than one million times.<\/p>\n<p>The Floating Tube app works in the Opera browser. You&#8217;ll need to enable the extension for it to float over other apps. Once you have it installed, open it and paste the YouTube URL in the Floating Tube app&#8217;s address bar. Then click the video icon and it will start playing. It&#8217;s easy to switch between apps with the PiP window. This app also works with Floating Apps, which allows you to play YouTube while using other apps.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Safari_browser\"><\/span>Safari browser<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you are experiencing problems streaming YouTube on Safari, it is possible that your internet connection is the problem. In such a situation, clearing your cache is a simple fix to the problem. This simple action will help fix most of the problems you experience while watching YouTube online. To clear your cache, simply go to Safari&#8217;s preferences and click on Clear Website Data and History. After clearing the cache, YouTube should start streaming again. If the problem persists, you can check your connection settings and try to connect again.<\/p>\n<p>Another cause of the problem may be the faulty plugin you&#8217;ve installed on your Mac. If you&#8217;ve installed a YouTube third-party video downloader, it&#8217;s possible that the plugin has caused the problem. To fix this, uninstall the extension in the Extensions tab in Safari&#8217;s Preferences. Alternatively, you can try enabling JavaScript on the YouTube website. After enabling this, restart Safari and check if YouTube is now working on your Mac.<\/p>\n<p>If your browser isn&#8217;t allowing you to view embedded YouTube videos, try using a different browser. Most Mac users already have two web browsers installed, so try one of them if you&#8217;re experiencing problems playing YouTube videos on Safari. If that doesn&#8217;t work, you can always uninstall it later. Try resetting your Mac&#8217;s operating system or updating Safari to see if these fixes work. It might be the problem that&#8217;s preventing you from watching YouTube on Safari, but these fixes should be effective.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe height=\"228\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"408\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ua7vP6EQh-A\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How Can I Play YouTube While Using Other Apps?
