- Once the YouTube website is opened, play any video of your choice.
- Once the buffering is completed and video is in the player mode, just press the Home button to minimize the app.
- Now swipe up to bring up the Control Center and then swipe left to go to the media controls.
- In the media control you will the video you were playing in YouTube on your browser.

- Even if you lock your device then video will continue to play. If you are playing the video from your playlist it will never start the other one once the first one is completed.
That’s the only drawback of this trick, you need to unlock your device and manually play the next one as you did for the first one. But still better then using third party app or stuck in the long process to jailbreak the device for using the Cydia tweak to play videos in back ground.
