Play YouTube Videos in Background on Android For FREE without Root. There’s no other pleasure like listening to Songs, Ted Talks or Podcasts while working on your phone and saving your time. Sadly many of these things are available for free only on YouTube and it doesn’t provide any feature of playing videos in background. You can use the Firefox browser but the feature has a history of coming and going with new updates. Here are a couple of apps that can be useful in playing YouTube videos in background.
1. Minimizer for YouTube

Google Play Store recently announced that it would no longer allow any apps to be on the play store that allowed the user to play Youtube videos in the background. But the developers of Minimizer cleverly came up with a idea of making a app that sort of runs a browser in the background. All you need to do is:
1. Install Minimizer for YouTube.
2. Open up the app and search for the desired video.
3. Just click on the minimize icon and if you wish the Ghost Mode.
The ghost mode makes the video’s sidebars transparent and allows you to click on what’s behind the video on your screen.
While Minimizer doesn’t let you actually play videos in background, it cover only a small portion of your screen and you can still enjoy your mobile phone.
Note: Minimizer doesn’t work if you turn off your phone’s screen, it will turn it back on.
