Samsung Hacks - Playing YouTube videos in the background and on repeat

[AntS]

Couple of things I discovered last night on my S10 running One UI 2.

Playing YouTube videos in the background

• Google Chrome app opening page > YouTube (or 'Home -YouTube') > choose your video > Settings  (top 3 dots) > Desktop site > [play video] > Home button.

Select the 'YouTube' /'Home - YouTube' icon

'Selecting Desktop site' will take you to the desktop version of the YouTube video

If the video stops playing, pull down the Notifications/Quick Panel, and press play on the notification.

Looping YouTube videos on a Samsung smartphone (without using 3rd party apps)

Two ways: via Chrome or YouTube app.

1. Google Chrome app

• Google Chrome app opening page > YouTube > choose your video > Settings  (top 3 dots) > Desktop site > zoom in and long press to bring up options menu > Loop

Long pressing the video will bring up the standard right-click menu

2. YouTube app

• YouTube app > choose your video >  tap the arrow directly below the video > tap 'Save > + New Playlist > [name the Playlist] > Library > [select your Playlist] > [play] > tap the Down arrow next the Playlist name > tap the 'loop' icon.

Clicking the arrow to the right of the video title brings up this menu

Create a new Playlist

Creating my new Playlist

Once in the Playlist, tap the arrow, and then 'the loop' icon

Folks may already be aware of these, but thought I'd post them here anyway.

@Discover , Let me know if this is any good for you.
