How Do I Play Music Vids While Working In Another Tab?

[L.K.Eder]

set the tab with your youtube video to "desktop site" and it will work. while posting this, i am listening to a youtube video.

On the laptop, I could start playing a music video and go to another tab, like here, and still hear the music.

Now I'm on a Samsung android tablet, and as soon as I go off the page, it stops. Is there anyway to do it? I tried googling but no help in old lady speak. The one thing I understood didn't work.

are you still interested in this? don't let idiotic advice discourage you.

if this does not work, you can try to start the paused video via your status bar. not in the tab, in the control center. just did it on my samsung tablet.

Pretty sure I'm always on google? At least, I don't know that I've ever changed it. Would going to youtube automatically change it without me knowing?

On Android devices you need to get the YouTube app, and then you have to buy their premium package to play the videos in the background, as you want to do - so you can browse other pages and apps.

Get the free Youtube app, and then watch a video, and then do another app, such as going to USMB on your Chrome web browser; and the video will stop and put a notification on the YouTube app describing that you need to get premium.

Come to think about it, there should be a YouTube app already supplied with Android.

Where's the status bar and where's the control center? Mr. L is saying I need to pay. Do you have youtube premium? I question that, since it worked once last night. I just can't get it to do it again.

The other thing is, I don't really have my youtube music account set up, I don't think. There is a long menu of stuff on the right with choices and options, and I don't know what any of them mean, starting with My Channel. What is that and do I need one?

Yes! You may not be interested in trying to walk me through it, though. I know basically nothing about this tablet.

first. don't pay anything.

they changed it to frustrate you into paying for their "premium" service.

second. you need to tell your device that the youtube tab in your browser is not on a tablet or phone, but on a desktop.

every browser, the app that lets you browse the internet, and lets you have youtube in a tab, has the option to emulate a desktop environment.

to do this you need to press the three points stacked vertically at the right end of your adress bar in the browser EDIT:SEE NEXT POST. this opens a menu. find the slider and switch the tab to "desktop site". then your tab will reload and present as if on a desktop, or as on your work notebook. then start the video and switch tabs. maybe it works then. it does on my phone. on the tablet you might have to do the other thing additionally. it's just an easy finger movement. nothing complicated.

the status bar is usually on top, showing time, battery status, and, if you have some sort of media player running, the youtube tab within your browser, e.g., the typical icons for play, stop, and pause, that have been used on analog devices as well.

if the first approach does not work, then your video is still in pause. you should be able to start it via the status bar. simply drag your finger over the bar, it should open. then start the video by pushing the "button".

I did everything. I went into the youtube video, put the tab on desktop, switched tabs, it stopped playing, I went to media on the status bar to restart it and it said media wasn't playing. Well, no, because it turned off when I switched tabs.

This is pretty frustrating.

Yeah, some of the porn sites do that now.

You would know

It is of no surprise since they want you to watch their viddy only....

Same thing with youtoob but there it's all about ads

On the laptop I never had any trouble playing youtube music vids in another tab. So why would it be different on a tablet?

Because you had windows on your laptop and android on your tablet and windows handles ram differently than android
