The “however” is that to use other cell phone tools while watching YouTube in the background, you need to subscribe to the Premium account, which allows you to use other apps on your phone without it being locked.
But, the good news we have to bring you is this: it is possible to play YouTube in the background through web browsers. Check out in this post 3 web browsers that make this tool available to their users.
3 Web Browsers That Can Play YouTube in the Background
There are a few ways to play YouTube in the background on Android for free. See the 3 best options
Vivaldi
Vivaldi is a free browser that plays YouTube audio in the background and works great. In addition to allowing you to view content while using other apps, you can continue listening with the screen off. To do this, download Vivaldi for free from the Google Play Store link below.
Once you open the app, you will have to modify your browser settings for everything to work properly. This is a very useful method, especially if you use Google services to listen to music, as it will avoid having to keep apps and screens open all the time, draining your battery.

Firefox (em inglês)
Mozilla Firefox is one of the Android browsers you can use that offers great security and privacy to users and is as useful as automatic translation of any website. What interests us in this case is that with Firefox you can use YouTube in the background for free.
Once Firefox is downloaded to your phone or tablet, you can watch YouTube videos in a small window while using other apps. To do this, simply find a video on the web version of the platform, open it in full screen and press the “Home” button to go to the home screen. This way, the video will remain in that little window while you perform other tasks.
Opera
Lastly, you can also play YouTube in the background using the Opera browser. In this case, you must open your browser and type YouTube to search for the video you want to watch. After playing, simply minimize Opera to continue playing the content, but a small window will appear in the bottom right corner of the screen.
Unfortunately, you cannot play this browser to play YouTube in the background if your phone is locked. But, it's useful if you want to watch a video or listen to music while doing other things with your phone. On the other hand, with Opera, you will enjoy fast and secure browsing, and it even has a built-in VPN.
