It has been a while since we first reported that YouTube TV Malaysia is working on the much-anticipated background play feature. This enables users to watch their favorite shows while they perform other activities. Earlier, the background play was available only with the normal YouTube app as being paid for it. This kind of flexibility is now given to the audience through YouTube TV which is a paid service.

Background play has a lot of positive impact on the usage aspect in terms of user experience. Listeners can watch shows while operating other applications or with the screen turned off. This feature is as perfect for those who are always running around making it easier to consume content. Audiences can follow other relevant content of interest without having to be stuck on the application.

No Extra Settings Required for Background Play by YouTube TV

Background play has been in a somewhat mixed reaction and the news of its discovery was first seen on Reddit. However, the latest information still suggests full integration, and many users are now seeing the feature. Writing for 9to5Google, more subscribers can get this multitasking feature. This development is a massive evolution in the way users are dealing with YouTube TV.

No additional options have to be set to enable background play. They could just subscribe to YouTube TV and let this feature turn on. It is compatible with iOS and Android- this makes it easy to use on both devices. It means that users can watch shows without interruptions; they can switch to other applications and come back.

When a show goes to Picture-in-Picture (PiP) mode, users can remove the mode from view. The audio keeps playing at the same time which is quite helpful for doing something else at the same time. Some might be annoyed by background audio while listening to it can help some users be more productive. When necessary, users can pin the audio from a Quick Settings panel as well.

Right now, the only option related to this feature is the ability to background play but there are no other settings associated with this option. Viewers will have to get used to this new format of consuming the material. The competition of such platforms as Netflix or Hulu may show that in the future, YouTube TV Malaysia can have more choices for changes and improvements. Although they recently hiked the prices, the service still can make many shows and events accessible.
