I use it to watch videos, play tracks, and listen to podcasts. It has easily become my main source of entertainment.\u00a0But there is one thing that rubs me the wrong way: YouTube doesn\u2019t let you play videos on your phone in the background (or in lock screen).<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, there is a pretty neat workaround you can use to bypass this restriction \u2013 and all you need is Telegram.<\/p>\n<p>Here is what you have to do to play YouTube videos in lock screen:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Download Telegram from <a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=org.telegram.messenger&amp;hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Google\u2019s Play Store<\/a>\n<\/li>\n<li>Open a chat with yourself (or with Telegram) and drop a link to the video you want to play in the background<\/li>\n<li>Once you click play, Telegram gives you the option to open the video in a picture-in-picture window by clicking the highlighted button<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><figure class=\"post-image post-mediaBleed alignnone\"><img
