I always listen to YouTube documentaries during work but I’ve had to leave the screen open because if I close my phone the video stops playing. It sucks cause it drains the battery to leave it open. Today I accidentally figured out how to close your phone and still keep it playing.

1. Play video on YouTube

2.open the phone app while YouTube is playing and dial a random numbers

3.press the side button to close the screen while the call try’s to connect.

1. Press the side button again this will open the Lock Screen
2. End the call on the Lock Screen and the video will automatically start to play again
3. Close your phone with the side button and the screen will go black but the video will still play.
4. To skip adds just open the Lock Screen and there will be a back, play/pause, and forward icon hit the forward button that will go to the next video the immediately hit back button and it will resume the previous video where it stopped for the ad.

Edit: jeez I was just trying to be helpful. No reason to attack me.
