I have had the Nokia Lumia 500/600 series for a while now. When I first got it I was able to play youtube songs, lock the screen and still listen to the track.

Now when I lock the screen it stops the song, it is super annoying as unless I hold the phone the button will accidently press. Anyone know how to revert to the prior listed way.

    Which app are you using to play from YouTube? Is that app allowed to run in the background (check in Battery Saver settings)?

  • If you are trying to open from music player it won't stop if you lock. Also check if the app is allowed to run at background.

Yes, this used to work in WP8.1 if I recall correctly, but doesn't anymore since Windows 10 Mobile (at least in the browser).

Two things you can do: - Try some of the YouTube-Apps in the store, some might be able to play audio in the background. - Vote on this feature in the feedback hub. Microsoft really prioritizes its work on those votes.
