      Only till now opera browsers havent brought in this option whereas bromite browser, brave browser, vivaldi browser, yandex browser, firefox mobile browsers and UC browser can play them easily without any issues in background. And all of these browsers are based on chromium engine apart from firefox browsers which allows also add extensions to improve background playing. Both options of playing while leaving the tab between other tabs and leaving the browser in history for some other app are not working.

        @ROCKKER-55 As far as I know, YouTube only allows playing videos in background if are using YouTube Premium. Even the YouTube app works that way.
        This one regarding playing videos while using another app.

          @leocg Can I share you the video while using the aforementioned browsers and prove my point because I am using all of them on different devices?

            @ROCKKER-55 So you can play a YouTube video in one of those browsers and then start Instagram, for example, and the YouTube video keeps playing in background?
