YouTube Premium Background Play Not Working
YouTube becomes an audio experience with background playback, much like a podcast or music app. This function is one of the best benefits of having a YouTube Premium membership, especially for users who prefer to consume video primarily through audio. Users can still enjoy content while using other apps or with their screen off thanks to background play. If the background play on YouTube Premium isn't working for you, try these steps:
Restart the app or device: The YouTube app may not have enough resources to handle background play if it has been operating on your device or for some time.
Verify the status of your membership: Verify that your subscription to YouTube Premium hasn't expired.
The purchasing section of the YouTube app is where you can check the status of your subscription.
Verify your location: The benefits of YouTube Premium are limited to the nations in which it is introduced.
Verify the settings for your background playback: By choosing your profile image and clicking Settings, you can modify or disable background play.
Resuming the playback On an Android phone, you can tap the "Play" button by swiping down the notification panel. You can open the control center on an iPhone or iPad and hit the Play button on the music widget.
If movies are paused on YouTube, you can try clearing your cache, disabling addons, or reducing the quality of the video.
Update your apps: YouTube videos may pause if your software is outdated.
When contacting support, you can indicate which error messages appear when you open the app again and whether the sound ends immediately upon exiting or if it plays for a while before ceasing.
