Use YouTube Premium
Use the YouTube Music app for audio-only playback
Open YouTube in a mobile browser and request the desktop site
Start the video, then turn off the screen and resume playback from the lock screen if available
Use picture-in-picture or background playback features if supported on your device
On Android, use split-screen or a browser that allows background audio
On iPhone, use Safari with desktop mode and lock the screen after starting playback
Keep the video playing in a browser tab instead of the YouTube app
Use third-party apps or tools only if they comply with YouTube’s terms and your device’s security settings
