 "The secret tricks of YouTube that very few people know."

YouTube is one of the most popular websites in the world, with a monthly user count exceeding 2 billion. This video-sharing platform is now more commonly used on mobile phones than on computers. However, when watching videos on the YouTube app on an Android smartphone, you cannot perform other tasks once you exit the app because the video stops playing.

If you are using the YouTube Premium service, the video will continue to play in picture-in-picture mode even after you exit the app. However, with a simple trick on YouTube, you can listen to YouTube Music videos in the background on your smartphone without a Premium account. This allows you to use other apps while still enjoying YouTube Music videos, just like YouTube videos continue to play in the background on a desktop.

Here's how to use the trick:

Open the YouTube app on your phone and play your preferred video.

Under the options available below the video, click on the Share button and select the Copy Link option.

Then, open Google Chrome on your phone and paste the copied link.

Once the video is open, go to the three-dot menu in the upper right corner of the browser and select "Request Desktop Site."

By doing this, the mobile web interface will resemble a computer, allowing you to minimize Chrome and go to your phone's home screen while the video pauses. However, you can play it again by going to the notification menu on your phone.
