You can play YouTube through the Google Chrome browser on your Android phone even when your phone is locked. This is a convenient feature that allows you to continue listening to audio or watching videos without having to keep your phone’s screen on.
When you play a YouTube video through the Google Chrome browser on your Android device, the audio will continue playing even if you lock your phone. This means that you can listen to music, podcasts, or any other audio content from YouTube while your phone is in your pocket or on a table.
One interesting aspect of this feature is that Google has integrated it with the lock screen controls on Android devices. This means that even though your phone is locked, you can still control the playback of the YouTube video from your lock screen. You can pause, play, or skip to the next video without having to unlock your phone or open the YouTube app.
This integration with the lock screen controls is a nice touch from Google, as it allows for a seamless and convenient experience when listening to YouTube content on your Android device. It’s worth noting that this feature might not be available on all Android devices, as it depends on the version of the operating system and any customizations made by the device manufacturer.
In my personal experience, I have found this feature to be very useful. There have been many times when I wanted to listen to music or a podcast on YouTube while doing other tasks on my phone or when my phone was in my pocket. Being able to lock my phone and still have the audio playing has made it much more convenient for me to enjoy YouTube content on the go.
