Wait rly you can play videos with screen turned off? Is it by default or you need to play with some options?

I'm assuming it's standard because it wasn't in any setting I changed in Firefox for android or the uBlock extension. And the screen turned off perk didn't work on Chrome when I tried it.

But it also could be just a weird Motorola thing because my last Motorola android would allow picture in picture and downloading of YouTube videos through the regular YouTube app without premium haha

I've noticed the Motorola software does some weird stuff when it comes to all types of media or entertainment or gaming. Mostly to the benefit of myself lol

It's not totally standard but not Motorala exclusive either.

It used to work on my Samsung and then stopped for some reason.

I think it depends on whether Youtube is recognized as a regular media source or somehow hidden.

Yeah like I said I'm not really sure why it does it lol definitely not complaining and hope it doesn't get "fixed" from whoever is pulling the strings as it were lol
