Play audio in background
-
@sevmonster thanks for the recommendation! let's hope that ads will not disturb that experience, but I'm definitely going to try!
-
Why don’t you try HBTube - a new app that allows us to listen to youtube in the background, moreover, we can do other tasks while watching any videos on the pop-up screen. So good.
-
Hello, will this feature be available on the snapshot soon? Thank you

Vanced YouTube can play video background and block ads. App is better than web youtube. YouTube background play is premium feature if Vivaldi support this it might get removed from playstore. https://www.androidpolice.com/2019/05/08/kiwi-browser-removed-from-play-store-due-to-youtube-background-playback/

@balachandarsmr The feature to allow video background playback (if it will come) could be served as an helper apk module to avoid strikes.
-
As far as I know background play is a bannable offense in the Play Store, but I've no idea how Brave managed to get away with it so far.
-
please add this feature in vivaldi i'dont want to use other browser for this and i'm regurally use vivaldi when launched this powerful browser before i use opera and now i switch vivaldi for my default so quickly add this feature i mailed it to vivaldi

Yes. Background video play is a must need. So that we can listen to youtube by switching off the screen. Brave and Firefox have this feature.
Thanks.

Vanced YouTube is better than mobile web YouTube. It blocks sponsored ads, supports background play

I also support background playing, is there some way to urge a ticket on this?

@myronandez If background YouTube is the only missing feature for you and as YouTube background play could ban Vivaldi from Google Play Store, you should really try NewPipe app, as sevmonster said.
It is really better than the YouTube app in many regards, including background play.
If you install it through F-Droid, you will also have convenient auto-updates.
And for solutions based on userscripts, this requires the mobile Vivaldi extension support, with which you would install (Violent/Grease/Tamper)monkey, then the userscript of your choice.
But NewPipe is already there and really handy.
-
Is that possible to implement on Android? I think it would be a handy feature especially if you could make it site specific. It's just an idea I wanted to throw out there.
-
yes, please. This feature is essential.
-
or add the "play music in background" feature
-
I found a post about this over a year ago, but I haven't seen much on it since. Pretty much what the title says, I use the the browser to play videos and then listen to them with the screen off (namely in my pocket where an on screen will take inputs). In fact this is the feature that prevents me from using vivaldi, and going back to brave.
Anyone else also missing this? I know there are work arounds involving other apps. But why download a series of apps - or even one - when I can use the browser app already installed perfectly?
-
@tntori yes I agree I hope they add this feature !!
-
Background video playback would be useful
-
I just use Brave so that YouTube plays in the background. I hope this feature is added to Vivaldi.
