You may soon be able to continue listening to your TV shows on YouTube TV, even if you can’t watch them. Google appears to finally be bringing background viewing to its YouTube TV streaming service. The company confirmed this The edge that it is “experimenting” with enabling YouTube TV playback after a phone is locked.

As reported by 9to5Googlethe feature was noticed a few weeks ago by Reddit users who discovered that they could continue listening to YouTube TV audio even after sending the video app to the background on their mobile devices.

Background play lets you continue listening to your content when your phone’s screen is turned off or locked. So you can still listen to the audio even if you can’t watch the action. This can be useful in many situations, such as if you are watching a live sporting event and need to pick up your child from school, but want to continue hearing the play by play while driving safely.

The premium subscription for Google’s YouTube service has the option to play in the background, and that subscription also removes ads from your videos. But this wasn’t possible on Google’s live TV service, which starts at $72.99 per month and includes ads. Instead, when you leave the YouTube TV app, the show pauses and the audio stops.

Allison Toh, product communications manager at YouTube, confirmed this in an email The edge that the company is indeed working on bringing it to YouTube TV:

I can confirm that we are running an experiment that will allow YouTube TV playback to continue after the phone screen is locked for Android and iOS mobile users.

If a viewer has enabled the YouTube TV app and then locks their phone, playback will continue. If users want to avoid background playback, they can pause the video before locking their phone.

However, it’s not an official feature yet and Toh did not respond to a question about whether there were plans to roll it out more widely. She did say that the experiment is currently available to a select group of users on Android and iOS mobile devices.
