Description of the issue:

I noticed that we are no longer can play YouTube in the background on Android. I tried 2 phones (pixel and Samsung), both show the same thing. Maybe there’s a security update on YouTube side to prevent this “YouTube Premium” version on Brave?

How can this issue be reproduced?

  1. YouTube background player not working

  2. Try 2 phones, same result

Expected result:

This feature back to live

Brave Version( check About Brave):

Brave 1.86.142, Chromium 144.0.7559.97

Google Pixel 10 Pro and Samsung S21FE

Is there a way to fix this problem for android phones? I hate having to swap to a desktop tab each and every time I want to listen to music and do something on another tab like research for my game or to look up directions to a friend’s place
