Background playing on mobile

The fact that they put this behind a paywall is enough for me to never pay them a dime.

    I found a neat little workaround that I used for a while. I’d load the video up in my browser, turn the phone on an off a couple times, press play on the lock screen, and enjoy it that way.

    Edit:

    Still works. Just gotta full screen the video and then power off before it kills picture in picture.

    And now I’m listening in the background as I type this.

    Most certainly off-topic, but I have found other cool workarounds for apps.

    For instance, if you open 2 windows of, say, PowerPoint (1 you want to use, the other you must close after; read below). Then, go to the one you don't want to use (or at least one you use for this method), and wait for the no account/Office not bought/whatever pop up; in any case, do NOT close the pop up. Open the other PowerPoint, and then close the former. If done right, you'll be pleasantly surprised that it works perfectly! After that, you can open any additional ppt files. Do note that, after you close PowerPoint entirely, you gotta do this all over again.
