Multitask While Listening to YouTube for Free (Android Only)

Hello Everyone!!

My name is Dakiri and today I will be teaching you how to listen to music on YouTube while using other apps or with your screen locked for free. First of all...and I can't stress this enough, this method may not work on IOS simply due to how Apple's OS works. However, for all my android users here is a way to multitask while using YouTube for free!!

STEP 1: Okay, first, open your browser, I prefer to use chrome as I am almost 100% sure the method we're using will work with this browser. Essentially, this method works by placing YouTube (browser YouTube (desktop version), NOT THE APP) in the notification bar/area.

STEP 2: Next we want to go to YouTube.com and request the desktop site, we do this to get out of the mobile version of YouTube (default version on a phone).

STEP 3: Next comes the most important part, if you don't do this the method won't work. Soon after you request the desktop site and the site refreshes, there will be a box at the bottom of the screen asking for permission to push notifications (if you don't see it reset Google Chrome permissions in settings or proceed to step 4). Click allow or push or whatever your phone says to allow YouTube (desktop version) to push notifications.

STEP 4: Now test it out, go to any audio through YouTube (desktop version) and once it is playing (make sure you can hear it) you will see an audio icon in your notification bar. Now go to your home screen, you will notice the audio stops. However, the audio icon is still in the notification bar; slide down your notifications and press play on the YouTube tab. Feel free to go to other apps and even lock your screen, the music won't turn off.
