Many users tend to listen music via YouTube and that platform has endless hours of playing any kind of music genre for all styles.
It is quite common to see at parties or family or friends reunions that the music is due to YouTube. In addition to being free unlike other platforms like Spotify, you have the advantage of being able to adjust the quality of the video, which is great for weak connections, so that the music doesn't stop due to this factor.
However, despite the multiple benefits the platform has, it has a major problem that many users have claimed. And is that YouTube cannot be played via mobile devices with it screen off.
This means you have to have the application open for it to work, thus preventing you from using your phone to perform any other functions.
Despite this, what appears to be the solution to this problem has emerged. This is Brave Browser, a browser for Android, which in addition to being fast and safe allows you to listen to YouTube with the screen off.
What is Brave Browser?
Brave Browser is a browser per Android based on the Chromium browser, very similar to Chrome.
This browser is characterized by being fast enough and also to be able to block annoying ads that appear unexpectedly, in addition to the possibility of optimizing the battery of your device.
However, the most remarkable thing about this browser is that it can play YouTube in background, so you can listen to music if you need to open the application.
This is very useful for doing other activities with yours cellular and also greatly increases the battery of your device. You can get Brave Browser from Playstore or get the apk in any browser.
How to play YouTube in the background with Brave Browser?
Before you can play YouTube with the screen off, you will need to do a little configuration in the browser. To do this, you need to follow the following steps:
- The first thing to do is to open the Brave Browser browser
- Once the browser is open, you need to press the option of the three vertical dots located in the lower right corner of the screen.
- The next thing will be to press the option of configuration. There a series of options will open and you will need to select the site setup option.
- Finally you need to select the option multimedia and press Video playback in the background
Once these settings are established, you will be able to play songs on YouTube in the background and with the screen off. To do this, you just have to go to Youtube in the Brave Browser and select a song of your choice.
Once the song starts playing, you will have to press the Home button on your mobile to get it out of YouTube without closing it. Next you will have to go to notifications from your mobile and you will see some YouTube options, among which you can find: Play, next song, previous song.
Just hit play so YouTube starts at playing in the background. You can also turn off your device screen without any problems and YouTube will continue to function normally.

There is another alternative where the Brave Browser is not needed. In fact, the only thing you'll need is to log into Chrome and set up a small and simple setup.
To do this you must log into Chrome from your mobile and press the option of the 3 vertical dots located in the upper right corner. The next thing will be to select the option “Request web desktop”.
After that we can go to YouTube and activate notifications. At this point we will have to choose the song we want to play and once the playback has started, you can press the home button of your mobile phone. Finally you will have to see the notifications and you will see that you can riprodurre YouTube in background.
Other slightly more advanced devices have the multitasking option, where you can split your mobile screen in two and thus be able to play YouTube in the background while doing any other activity.
