If you have an iphone, exit out of the app and then swipe up and the play button should be able to let you play the video in the background. It's the same thing for when you use youtube on safari or chrome.
apparently not. Garlog if YouTube has been out this long and they haven't done anything about the music videos, wspecially with having channels for that like MichaelJacksonVEVO, then, no your comment doesn't make sense. Who are you to tell other people what to and what not to upload?
Why do think music videos are always far and away the most viewed things on YouTube? Do you think tens of millions of people are sitting to actually watch the videos or are the majority of them just using YT as a quick source to play their favorite songs over and over in the car or wherever. Also YT created a download that lets you lock your phone or minimize the screen while watching videos so obviously the developers catered. I mean what kind of of a business would they be if they just ignored what their users wanted?
If such a dl exists then why hasn't it come up in these in these comments, why isn't a part of the YT app, and why did this picture make it to the popular page?
@garlog If you open the YouTube app, at least the Android version, you will find that the homepage shows two tabs - one for recommended videos, and the other is Music. This means that YouTube does intend you to listen to music. As a matter of fact, there has been increased interest from the company's side in music consumption on YouTube, which is exactly the reason why there's the Music tab on the app home page.
"Garlog, why do you care if someone does something you don't?"
I don't. I was commenting on the absurdity of wanting a video app to continue playing when the screen is off.
"If it has an option to use it, I'm pretty sure that's part of its intended purpose."
That is a true fact that does not refute my original point at all.
"Let everyone else do their own thing "
I am not stopping anyone from doing anything.
"You are trying to make people stop by proclaiming it's not the app's intended purpose."
Where did I say I was trying to make people stop?
"If you don't care, why are you still here? "
How is this a different question from "Garlog, why do you care if someone does something you don't?"?
For one, if you were not trying to get people to stop, you would not have argued so against what many people are doing.
Two, you obviously have to care at least a bit of you have to spend what time you have left on this earth on us.
"For one, if you were not trying to get people to stop, you would not have argued so against what many people are doing. "
I was arguing against the concept that the developers should change the app so it could be played with the screen off. It didn't have anything to do with what people were doing.

I care about arguing against the concept that the developers should change the app so it could be played with the screen off. I don't care about people listening to music with the YT app.
YouTube makes money off ads so it will never allow users to be able to minimize the app and still be able to hear the music because then you will never seethe ad.
Actually you can. If on iOS, go to Safari, yo YouTube, and go to the song. Click play, turn off the phone, swipe up from bottom of screen and click play. Or you can exit the safari app and do other stuff. Only problem is I can't go on FS then since its in Safari
And then you can't use safari, which means no Fs
Then you are using the app for an unintended purpose that the developers have no reason to cater to.

There's an app for that
