One of these options is to download a free browser, such as Firefox or Dolphin, from the App Store. All you need to do is type the YouTube URL in the browser and choose a video. Depending on your preference, you may choose to watch a music video, a comedy show, a science project, or anything else.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Brave_Browser\"><\/span>Brave Browser<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>One of the easiest ways to listen to YouTube while the rest of the world is using the screen off is by downloading and using Brave Browser. The browser works smoothly and the extra touches make you feel like a full-fledged player. To download the Brave browser, click the three points at the top of the screen. Then, click the Multimedia tab and select the Background video option. It&#8217;s worth noting that this is an experimental feature, but it does work in our tests.<\/p>\n<p>Although Google does not allow background video watching apps, Brave&#8217;s developers insist that it will not be removed. To enable the feature, simply enable the &#8220;Video in the background&#8221; tumbler. Then, go to the Brave web browser&#8217;s settings and tap the &#8220;Video in the background&#8221; tumbler. Once you&#8217;ve done this, you&#8217;ll be able to watch YouTube videos even with the screen off.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Xposed_module\"><\/span>Xposed module<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Fortunately, there&#8217;s an app to solve this problem. It&#8217;s called the Xposed module, and it&#8217;s available for both Android OS 10 and older versions. The Xposed module is a tool that exposes different modules on Android devices, which can change their behavior and bring them new features. Here&#8217;s how to install it. But first, you need to download it from Google Play Store.<\/p>\n<p>Install the Xposed module on your Android device and you&#8217;re ready to enjoy your favorite music videos even if you&#8217;re not watching them. Once you&#8217;ve installed the app, head over to the Xposed installer and navigate to the&#8217;modules&#8217; section. There, you&#8217;ll see several options to choose from. Select the one you want and enjoy! This will open up a menu with different music tracks.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Chrome\"><\/span>Chrome<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can listen to YouTube videos on your Android device even when your screen is off. However, this may not be possible on the official YouTube app. In such cases, you may want to use a third-party app, like MiniTube, which enables YouTube to play in the background even when your screen is off. But keep in mind that some YouTube policies may prevent you from using such apps. Here are some tips to enable YouTube playback on your Android device when it&#8217;s locked.<\/p>\n<p>While watching YouTube, you can also play the background version. However, this may not be convenient if you have a fingerprint lock on your phone. To prevent this, you should unlock your device and open up the quick settings menu. Another option is to download NewPipe, which is not available on the Google Play Store. Instead, you should download the APK directly from its official website. This method works with Android 4.4+.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Firefox\"><\/span>Firefox<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you use a mobile device like an iPhone or Android, you may have been wondering if it&#8217;s possible to listen to YouTube with the screen off. The answer is yes. By following a few easy steps, you can listen to YouTube while the screen is off. To start, you need to enable desktop mode on your device. Then, go to the YouTube website. Click on the three dots menu at the top right of the screen, and select settings.<\/p>\n<p>Now, you can start watching the video, and then switch to another app. The audio will play in the background. When the audio is playing, you&#8217;ll receive a notification that allows you to pause the playback or change tracks in a playlist. This is ideal for playing music while listening to YouTube.
