🎧 Play YouTube in the background for free (Brave)

Keep YouTube sound playing with the screen off, using the free Brave browser.

1. Install the free Brave browser from Google Play or the App Store.
2. In Brave, open Settings → Media and turn on Background play (Android). On iPhone it is on by default.
3. Open youtube.com in Brave (the website, not the YouTube app) and play a video.
4. Lock the screen or switch apps. On Android, use the media controls in the notification to pause or skip.
5. This uses a normal setting of the browser. If you watch a lot, YouTube Premium also supports creators.
