Browsers can help you play YouTube videos while keeping the rest of your apps closed. To use Mozilla Firefox, you&#8217;ll need to type in the correct URL. You can also use the Google Chrome Browser to watch YouTube videos without having to unlock your phone. But first, let&#8217;s look at how to lock screen on YouTube on Android devices.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Picture-in-picture_mode_allows_you_to_play_YouTube_videos_while_using_another_app\"><\/span>Picture-in-picture mode allows you to play YouTube videos while using another app<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you want to multitask with your favorite videos and other applications, you&#8217;ve come to the right place. Picture-in-picture mode lets you watch YouTube videos in the background while using another app on your iPhone or iPad. But this feature is only available to people who are subscribers of YouTube Premium, so you&#8217;ll have to pay to access this feature. Fortunately, this mode isn&#8217;t difficult to use.<\/p>\n<p>To enable picture-in-picture mode, download the PiPifier application to your iOS device. This app is a browser extension, which means it works with all HTML5 videos, not just YouTube. PiPifier is free to download from the App Store and is compatible with iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, and Mac. You&#8217;ll need to be on iOS 15 or later. Mac users should have an M1 chip.<\/p>\n<p>While you&#8217;re viewing your YouTube video, you can still work on other apps at the same time. You can activate picture-in-picture mode in the video by right-clicking twice. Alternatively, you can open the menu by swiping upwards. Once you&#8217;ve activated the feature, you can play YouTube videos in the background, while working on another app.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Baby_Lock_prevents_other_apps_from_running\"><\/span>Baby Lock prevents other apps from running<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To prevent other apps from running on YouTube, you need to enable Screen Time on your child&#8217;s device. Screen Time is a feature in Content &amp; Privacy Restrictions. By default, it blocks all adult websites, including YouTube. You can change this setting if necessary. However, keep in mind that the screen time restriction will not prevent YouTube from running in Safari or any other browser. So, it&#8217;s a good idea to use it with caution!<\/p>\n<p>Screen Time is an option in your child&#8217;s device, but the default setting will lock the screen unless you disable it. If you&#8217;d like to disable it completely, you can set up a passcode that only the parent can see. If you&#8217;d prefer a passcode, you can set it up to be a two-step passcode. Then, set up the app to lock Settings and Play Store, and make YouTube inaccessible to your child.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Google_Chrome_Browser_workaround\"><\/span>Google Chrome Browser workaround<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Using the Mozilla Firefox browser to play YouTube videos when your phone is locked is an easy way to get around the YouTube lock screen. Mozilla Firefox is a lightweight, free browser that can be downloaded from the internet. Mozilla Firefox also gives you the ability to control playback. If you want to use a third-party app, there are many that work around YouTube&#8217;s policy. MiniTube is one of these apps, which allows you to play YouTube in the background even when you are not using it.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re using Google Chrome, you may have an outdated version of the browser. If so, try clearing the cache, disabling extensions, and checking for updates. If all else fails, restart your browser. Alternatively, your account may have been hacked. In such a case, it&#8217;s best to change the browser to the latest version. The YouTube lock screen is a frustrating problem. Here&#8217;s how to get around it.<\/p>\n<p>Enabling background video playback in your browser will disable YouTube lock screen ads, but it will allow you to view any videos in the background. Make sure you disable the feature before you do anything else. Remember that background media playback will continue to play even if you close the browser. So if you want to watch YouTube videos on your phone, you can disable background video playback in Chrome&#8217;s settings, and then muted the video in your device&#8217;s settings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Lock Screen on YouTube on Android To watch YouTube videos without having to unlock your phone, you can use a browser on your Android device.
