Any way to fix YouTube videos going mute?

[thadoggfather]

when I minimize videos in app or get out of YouTube and back in it goes quiet

Only way to fix is launch another video and get back to the one I was watching

Have you guys found an easier method ?

Google disabled background playback in the Youtube app, you have to pay for Youtube Red to use that feature. One work around it is to use youtube from Safari and switch it to desktop mode.

I do it by logging into YouTube in Safari. Start a video, then when it gets screen size, leave Safari. Then pull up the control center and tap to play on the music option. Works for me on my 6s Plus running iOS 10.1.1.

Sorry I don't think you guys follow

I'm referring to an iOS 11 beta and YouTube app combo bug

I know it doesn't run in the background when you close the app to home screen

I'm running IOS11 beta 3 and my YouTube app is basically useless. I can get a video to play and then about every 20 seconds or so it stops with a black screen and says "Error". So I'm guess what you are experiencing is another bug with IOS 11 beta and the YouTube app.

Use the website. Use PiPifier app. Better experience than the nickel and diming app.

Oh ok, yea I have no idea what that issue could be, I dont use the youtube app. Im not experiencing it with youtube in safari for what its worth.

Looks like an update may have fixed the issue.

I mean I didn’t entirely rule out YouTube app as culprit

Considering PiP is broken on iOS 11 beta tho with safari web videos I wouldn’t be surprised if it were os

It’s either os or app or both.

Happens with betas and lots of new api’s introduced, don’t take it so personal Apple will still be fine withstanding criticism without you coming to their defense on a forum

Apple software quality control has been a wild card too under timmy’s Reign

This is funny (the attachment)
