    For once a UA-cam video that actually gets straight to the point and the instructions actually work, I'm impressed

    I actually found this months ago. It’s kind of a pain if you have to pause it. But it works for the most part.

      It's been like this forever lol. Unless they were to take away desktop mode you can use this forever safely. Since when you're on your PC you can use UA-cam whilst not being on the tab and whilst the PC is sleeping so it's technically a feature not something that can get patched

      and has gotten worse, almost forced into premium. damn too many useful videos on YT and most of them are over 5 minutes now.

    Dan, please delete this video before Google patches this. I want to listen to my live concerts that aren’t on Apple Music/Spotify in the background without paying for UA-cam Premium.

    • @gundalfx
      @gundalfx 9 місяців тому

      Don't worry, Google can't easily workaround this because it is a Safari/iOS feature and could only be blocked by Google if you would be using a different browser engine (Chromium for example) which as of right now does not exists on Apple devices.

    The way I do this on Android is to play the video in Firefox (no need to request desktop website) and then just turn off the screen for a moment and turn it back on, and then finally press the little play button in the corner of the Firefox’s media notification.

  • @Devilninja333
    @Devilninja333 9 місяців тому +4

    You can do it with the app as well. just start a video swipe up to enable picture in picture, then swipe the top of the screen down to pull up your notifications. The picture and picture video will pause, but you can press play while in notifications screen then lock the phone it’ll continue playing.

      Or just pause the video from your Apple Watch, then after lock your iPhone you can still play from the Apple Watch and continue listening even with your iPhone locked.

    Why tell the secret? Now Google will block lol.. or you can just pause the video on UA-cam so from your Apple Watch, then after lock your iPhone you can still play from the Apple Watch and continue listening even with your iPhone locked.

    @ebomb1133 7 місяців тому +1

    I think it's ridiculous you have to pay for what should be a basic feature. Thank you for the tutorial but it feels slimy you have to pay for this or go out of your way through a web browser to do it rather on the actual app itself.

      I don’t think so, only Apple can patch it but then background audio would not be possible for any app which is not desirable for apple.

  • @ChristianBehnke
    @ChristianBehnke 9 місяців тому +2

    My workaround: load video in the YT app, swipe to home screen and the video plays PIP. Lock the screen but then swipe down from the top right to open your control centre and hit play there. Lock the screen again, and presto!

    • @fabiojpoli

    Easier method. When watching on UA-cam app, a lot of the times you can get in picture UA-cam video by just swiping to home. When you do, swipe down to open notifications, hit play, then lock your phone and hit play again from the lock screen.

    Is it greed? Google makes money off advertising and pays content creators peanuts and then charges more than a cable company for streaming version of cable tv and can’t offer this feature for free in the app.

    Great video and good job but it doesn’t need to ‘request desktop website’. Just play the video in youtube from safari and make lock or exit. Then push the play button in control center or live activity in lock screen.
