How do I get YouTube to play in the background when my phone is locked?

Play YouTube through Google Chrome Browser On Android

However, you can control the pause and play features via your lock screen thanks to Google's integration—a nice, if not unintended, touch. If you want to do this, you need to ensure Google Chrome is in Desktop Mode on your Android device.

Why won t YouTube continue playing in background?

Restart the YouTube app or reboot your device

If the YouTube app or your mobile device has been running for some time, there may not be enough resources for background play to work smoothly. Try closing the YouTube app or rebooting your phone.
