  Background playing on mobile

  The fact that they put this behind a paywall is enough for me to never pay them a dime.

    I found a neat little workaround that I used for a while. I’d load the video up in my browser, turn the phone on an off a couple times, press play on the lock screen, and enjoy it that way.

      @interdimensionalmeme@lemmy.ml gave me a really good suggestion the ither day. If youre on Firefox, it might work for you too :)

      addons.mozilla.org/…/video-background-play-fix/

      I just have the video running on Firefox and can them go to another App / turn off the screen

    It used to just work. Then it only worked with a funny work around. Now I don’t care because I pirate their content instead.

  I’m in a family plan, so when this change hits, going to have to find alternative methods.

  I dont pay for it, use grayjay or firefox with ad block, I have no ads, background playing on mobile and I could care less about YouTube music.

  I just pirate it

    Pirate… what?

      Videos from YouTube

        How does one pirate free videos? Is there somebody uploading torrents of YouTube videos?
