Hi. Really? Sounds weird, based on that, can’t really help. But if anything odd behavior comes on my phone, first thing I do is turn off my phone and restart. That’s something you could try. What phone are you using?
Same issue with playing RUclips videos on Chrome on a Samsung device. Videos stop playing when switching or minimizing the app, or when the screen is locked. Vimeo videos in the browser work fine in the background or on the lock screen like the method you showed. chrome is set as unrestricted battery usage and power saving is off.
This does not work for me. I bring up desktop version of youtube, the display changes showing me more small frames of youtube videos, letting me know I am in desktop mode through Chrome. I search and select a video. It plays. I switch to another app. It stops playing. Desktop mode is checkmarked and on in Chrome.
Hi, if switching to another app, it stops playing the audio unfortunately. The method shown in the video works when you lock the screen and you should then see controls for playback and you can then play audio in the background. I hope this helps.
@@cbumbaugh7364 Hi, I have only tested this with iPhone so I can't confirm if it works with android. Would like to know, please let me know if you can test it.
Play video very helpful price gouging just to play audio in the background is ridiculous free concert and paid content that is already been purchased should be able to play in the background
Have you tried this trick when playing RUclips on your phone?
Finally! I've been trying to figure out how to play RUclips in the background when my screen turns off. Thank you 😊
Great to hear! 😊
Holy hell thanks dude
if it's not working for some of you, try turning on desktop mode
Glad I could help, and good tip!
Thanks man!
@@jazzyg863 Glad it helped!
It doesn't let me, it shows up on my lock screen for a second and when I tap it to play the audio it just dissapears :(

In my case, it only works if I do "Desktop Mode", which is a bit annoying cause it makes controlling RUclips a bit harder. Is there a workaround?

I think they patched this because I used to do this but it doesn’t work anymore
