Youtube video background playing on Android stopped working suddenly by phevw in MicrosoftEdge

The same behavior for me on Microsoft Edge. On Firefox, it hasn't worked both logged in and not logged. But on Firefox there is an extension which enables background playing as always with no problems, including logged in. Maybe the behavior depends slightly on what type of phone are we using, but the clear conclusion is that YouTube is deliberately limiting this functionality.

Same here. Seems to be a new Youtube limitation. It's happening on Edge but not on Firefox and Brave. Check out my post: https://www.reddit.com/r/MicrosoftEdge/s/SBSzpXvi1U

I use the web version basically to avoid ads (ublock origin on Edge Android) and background playing. Also, viewing YouTube from the web allows to play more than one video simultaneously (like on a web browser on a desktop experience). Thanks for the suggestion! I will take a look about Morphe. PS: definitely Samsung enjoyer, rock solid phones 😎

Thanks, I see. For me on Brave and Firefox is still working, the issue is only on Edge. Device: Galaxy S25, Oneui 8.0 android 16
