This ‘Awesome Pop-up video’ app supports Screen off playback feature as well that allows you to keep playing continue even while the screen is off. But, unfortunately, this feature does not support the YouTube. This is the ‘Awesome Pop-up video’ that supports ‘Vimeo video’ playback as well.

Play Your YouTube Videos with the Screen Backlight Off

If you like to play your favorite videos using the screen off, then you have to use the third party app named “Screen Backlight Off”. The app is simple to use while playing music on the YouTube app. If you don’t watch a video, then it’s better to turn the screen off. But, the default YouTube app does not support this feature; you can use the “Screen Backlight off” application. Unfortunately, the app is currently unavailable in the Play Store. You can get an alternative if you like to use it.

Here is a note

The app “Screen Backlight Off” needs the Root access to improve to its complete potential. But, instead of turning the screen off, it adds a black layer on YouTube screen top while making it a bit of the display turn off. Because the app is unavailable in the Play Store, so you must install the “Screen Backlight Off” app .apk.

If you like to install its APK, then you have to follow me with the below steps.

 

  • At first, you have to enable the option ‘installation from unknown sources’.
  • If you’re not getting the “Unknown sources option” in the “Security section”, then you should look in the Privacy option.
  • Now, install the ‘Screen Backlight Off app’ from.APK file. You’ll get it in the XDA forum here.
  • Install the file it when the download is complete.
  • Open it when it completes the installation. It will ask about grant root access, so tap on the Grant option and then proceed.
  • Then, it can also ask you to give Overlay permission. So, tap OK and proceed.
  • Now if you swipe down from the notification panel, then you can see the “Screen Backlight Off” toggle.
  • Then, open the app on YouTube on your phone as well as play any video or audio that you like to listen.
  • If you want to turn the screen off, then swipe down from the notification panel while a tap on Screen Backlight Off toggle. Your phone screen will get turned off in a moment.

Besides, you can use this app on your native video player whenever you like to off your screen while watching or listening anything. The app of the “Backlight Screen Off” also comes with other customization features. These are including Activation delay, Deactivation options, Floating buttons and ‘on screen off’ and much more.
