Many have used Youtube app in android devices that stop the video if switch from youtube app to another app or minimize all apps. It is very annoying that the you-tube app should always be in the foreground to play the videos.
Is there a way to change that to play youtube with screen off android? A way to play YouTube videos in the background on android while using another app or doing something else in the mobile phone. Here I will share an easy way to play youtube in background app, play youtube videos in the background of mobile on Android.
The widget is called floating video player. Floating video player basically means it just floats on top of all the apps opened in your android phone. This will Play YouTube in the background on Android and iOS. There were some small video players that effectively used this floating style video player. Some apps have crashed while using this feature of running you tube videos in the background.
The below method uses Google Chrome browser and the support of its desktop version. Desktop version provides a good way for Android users to continuously run Youtube videos in the background without allowing it to stop while switching app.
