As mentioned previously, PiP will not work if you try to play anything classified as a music video.
There is a very large “but” here, however.
A small “x” in the upper-right corner will stop the video and banish the box. You will also be able to pause it if you want. If you tap the center of the video, a small box will appear tap again, and the video will go to full size. Now, when you go into the YouTube app and start playing a video, you can simply press the Home key at the bottom of your screen, and the video will shrink down, allowing you to go to another app while it continues to play. Make sure that PiP for YouTube is allowed if not, tap on YouTube and toggle it on.
You are now at the list of apps that support PiP, along with which ones are enabled. Select “Special app access” > “Picture-in-picture”. Tap “Advanced” at the bottom of the screen. Open your Settings menu from your notifications pull-down or from your main menu. But first, here’s how you enable PiP for YouTube in Android. We’ll look at a workaround for music videos in Android - and for iPhone users as well (who, as of this writing, don’t have access to the PiP feature). Recent versions of the Android YouTube app allow you to use Picture-in-Picture (PiP) to view (or listen to) almost any YouTube video while you’re reading your tweets or checking out the latest news - that is, any video except one that’s labeled as being music. Unfortunately, unless you’re a subscriber to YouTube Premium ($11.99 a month) or YouTube Music ($9.99 a month), your ability to listen to a YouTube video in the background is limited - doable, but limited.Īndroid users have it slightly better in this respect. 
There’s a lot of music - and storytelling and news - on YouTube, and so it stands to reason that you’d want to be able to play it in the background on your mobile device while reading, texting, or doing other things.
