- Tap on Install and wait for the installation to finish, and then tap on Done.
- Open the YouTube Vanced app and sign in to your Google account if you’d like to.
- Enjoy playing YouTube videos in the background without a Premium subscription.
To play YouTube videos in the background with YouTube Vanced, you just need to start playing a video and then switch to another app or lock your screen. The video will continue playing in the background, and you can control it from the notification panel or the lock screen.
I use YouTube Vanced on my Android phone, and I love it. It is effortless to use, and it offers many other features that make YouTube more enjoyable, such as picture-in-picture mode, swipe controls, zoom to fill, and more. YouTube Vanced does not violate YouTube’s terms of service, and it does not affect the revenue of the creators, as it still counts the views and the watch time. YouTube Vanced is also safe and secure, as it does not collect any personal data or require any permissions.
Method 2: Use Safari (iOS)
If you have an iPhone or an iPad, you can use Safari, the default web browser, to play YouTube videos in the background without Premium subscription. Safari has a feature called Picture in Picture, which allows you to watch a video in a small window while using another app. To use this feature, you need to follow these steps:
- Open Safari and go to the YouTube website: https://www.youtube.com/.
- Search for the video you want to play and tap on it.
- Tap on the full-screen icon in the bottom-right corner of the video player.
- Tap on the Picture in Picture icon in the top-left corner of the screen. The video will shrink to a small window that you can move and resize.
- Exit Safari and go to another app or the home screen. The video will continue playing in the background, and you can control it from the small window or the control center.
I use Safari on my iPhone to play YouTube videos in the background, and it works well. It is very convenient and simple, and it does not require any additional apps or downloads. However, there are some drawbacks to this method. First, you need to use the YouTube website, not the app, which might not have all the features and functions that you are used to. Second, you need to keep the small window on the screen, which might block some content or interfere with some gestures. Third, you have to have iOS 14 or later, as the Picture in Picture feature is not available on older versions.
Method 3: Use Firefox or Opera (PC)
If you have a PC, you can use Firefox or Opera, two web browsers that have a built-in feature that allows you to play YouTube videos in the background without Premium subscription. The feature is called Picture in Picture, and it is similar to the one in Safari, but it works on any website that has a video player, not just YouTube. To use this feature, you need to follow these steps:
- Download and install Firefox or Opera from their official websites: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/ or https://www.opera.com/.
- Open Firefox or Opera and go to the YouTube website: https://www.youtube.com/.
- Search for the video you want to play and click on it.
- Hover your mouse over the video player and look for a blue icon that says Picture in Picture. In Firefox, it is at the right edge of the player. In Opera, it is in the bottom-right corner of the player.
- Click on the Picture in Picture icon. The video will pop out into a small window that you can move and resize.
- Minimize Firefox or Opera and go to another app or the desktop. The video will continue playing in the background, and you can control it from the small window or the taskbar.
I use Firefox and Opera on my PC to play YouTube videos in the background, and they are great. They are very fast and reliable, and they have many other features that make browsing more enjoyable, such as tab management, bookmarks, extensions, and more. The Picture in Picture feature is very handy and versatile, and it works on any website that has a video player, not just YouTube. You can also use it to watch multiple videos at the same time, or to watch a video while reading the comments or the description.
