One of the largest and best streaming and entertaining platform in the world is YouTube. There are billions of YouTube users throughout the world. You will get each type of video content like happy, emotional, love, comedy, live reality shows, and many more.
Still, there is a huge number of people who use YouTube to listen to songs, commentary, podcasts, etc. There is a drawback of YouTube that you have to wait on their page till your content is over, but waiting for hours on that same page doesn’t sound good. But playing your content in the background and simultaneously using another app is the best feeling ever.
YouTube has made this possible after listening to its audience request. Only you have to pay for its background play service. If you wish not to pay for this service then you can try these tricks to play YouTube videos in the background.
