Youtube background playback
-
Hello everyone!
Sometimes I use Brave browser on iOS for one single purpose — to listening some Youtube podcast in background. Yep, it's possible even if you don't buy premium subscription.
It would be very cool if Vivildi could this too.
As I understand it, Brave injects some javascript hack to bypass YouTube's "protection".

Hi, you can do this in Vivaldi since a long time.
Settings > General > Allow background audio playback.Cheers, mib

@mib2berlin hmm, I didn't see this option
In Vivaldi Snapshot from Testflight (v 7.0.3505.19) I see only homepage options
In Vivaldi stable from AppStore (v 6.9.3451.75) "General" submenu is absent

Hm, I checked again in 6.9.5451.114 Stable and it is there, strange.
But this setting is available since a long time, cant remember where it was before.
Try to search for background in the settings.Cheers, mib

Maybe you are checking on Android? -
@maximvasiljev
Argh, you are right, over read you are on iOS in the first post, I am sorry. -
@mib2berlin
Since this was done on Android, it’s most likely possible on iOS as well. -
I just want to say that I am in exactly the same shoes as OP. Brave has two features that I currently miss. I can play YouTube and YouTube Music in the background and it also works with Apple CarPlay. I wish those two features could be implemented. Thank you!
Edit: I just noticed a funny workaround for background play. It even works with playlists in YouTube Music to play the next song after the current one is finished. You press play on the content, then you press the Vivaldi icon to open the options menu now when you swipe up the Apple bar to get to the home screen it will keep the audio channel open, it will pause it but through the Dynamic Island or Notification pull down you can resume the audio and it will keep playing in the background. Now I just wish there was a way to check a box in the settings to just make it work natively without this workaround.

btw, background playback is still possible through the desktop version of Youtube
