The YouTube Premium option is still there, and it is not at all negligible: it eliminates annoying advertisements, while offering us obvious advantages such as the possibility of listening to music on YouTube Music without advertisements, in addition to minimize any video while we do something else on the mobile.
As if that wasn’t enough, it recently added a new Premium 1080p resolution for paying users. However, the flagship feature is the ability to lock the phone without stopping playback, which we can achieve with the lightweight app we talked about earlier. Although there is an even simpler trick. We explain how to apply it.
The most popular feature of YouTube Premium without paying a cent
Whoever made the law, made the trap, or something similar happens with the playback of videos on YouTube for Android when we lock the mobile. Google has always put obstacles in the way of this action, allowing it to its paying users. Some applications allow us to do thiseven a browser like Vivaldi is able to bypass it.
But if we do not want to occupy the internal memory of our mobile with more applications, and above all learn – once again – how to use them, there is a little trick this will save the day. This allows us to listen to music, as well as any YouTube video, with the mobile phone locked.
What if we told you that you can do it with Chrome? And no, it’s not a trick to use the Web application
- Find the video you want listen with the screen off, whether it sends us via WhatsApp or from the YouTube application itself. You have to copy the link, we leave you a screenshot with instructions.
- With the link successfully copied to our clipboard, we will now go to Chrome and we will paste the link in the address bar.
- Next, we will press the “More options” button, illustrated by the three points arranged vertically.
- We will switch to “Desktop View”, so that the website is presented to us with the interface that we would see on the PC.
- Then we will return to the home screen, either with gestures or with on-screen buttons.
- We will notice that the video stopped, but there is no problem. Lower the notification curtain and there we will have the Android media player.
- All you have to do is touch the Play button to continue listening to it.
This is how easily we achieved one of the most requested functions by users, and without having to spend a single cent. There is also no need to install or download anything extraand now we will have this possibility of listening to podcasts, music or any clip that we like.
