Listening to music or playing content on YouTube with the screen off is a popular trick among internet users. While there are various music-focused apps like Spotify available, some users still prefer to listen to content such as podcasts on YouTube. However, unless you have YouTube Premium, this functionality is not available within the YouTube app itself.
A simple solution to achieve this is by using the Brave browser. This browser is free and accessible for both Android and iOS users through the Play Store and App Store respectively. By using Brave, you can play YouTube with the screen off and listen to content without having to watch it.
To enable background play, users can go to Settings -> Multimedia -> Playing in the background within the Brave browser. This feature has been available since 2017 as mentioned in the article. While other browsers like FireFox and Chrome also offer this functionality, they may have some difficulties in doing so.
In conclusion, using the Brave browser is an easy and effective way to enjoy audio-only content on YouTube with the screen off. This trick enhances user experience for those who prefer listening rather than watching content on YouTube.
