Keep listening when you can’t watch.

As reported by 9to5Google, the feature was spotted a couple of weeks ago by Reddit users who found they could continue listening to YouTube TV audio even after sending the video app to the background on their mobile devices. This could be helpful in lots of situations, including if you’re following a live sporting event and have to go pick up your kid from school but want to keep hearing the play-by-play while driving safely. I can confirm that we are running an experiment that enables YouTube TV playback to continue after the phone screen is locked for Android and iOS mobile users.
