@alvs Changed the topic title to make more sense and be more according to the rules.

@alvs No idea. Did you try allowing Opera to be on top of other apps? What about using picture in picture?

@alvs In Android settings. Go to Apps, tap on Opera and go to permissions.

@leocg I did but it didn't work. I hope that in the future developers will put this function of playing even in the background or on a locked screen

@alvs I've read that Google has a limitation on this, so maybe Opera is just following it.

@leocg I understand, but the question is why other browsers have this option and do not operate?? thanks anyway

@alvs unfortunately you can't do it on Opera. Brave has this function built in somehow, firefox does this through addon. Earlier we can do this through a flag in chromium based browsers. Now google removed the flag. I like Opera much and use it daily except YouTube.

@alvs I was hoping to maintain Youtube playing the music when we switish to a different tab in Opera. Currently Youtube stops the player automatickly, Brave Browser managed to keep youtube playing in background browser.

I use YouTube Vanced or NewPipe instead of browser for YouTube background playback. Way much better.

I managed to do it by clicking on the YouTube site setting and opening it as desktop site!

It can run at the background now and I can open other apps!
