Listen in the
background.
Want a video to keep playing after you lock your phone? Our app Music Tube turns any video into a music track that keeps playing with the screen off.
The problem
Leave the app or lock your phone and the video stops. Listening to a mix, a podcast, or a live stream means keeping the screen on the whole time. Been there, done that.
That's why we developed Music Tube - a video browser that plays any video in the background as a music track, with lock screen controls and a sleep timer.
Perfect for music mixes, podcasts, live streams, audiobooks, or falling asleep to rain sounds.

Frequently asked questions
What is the best app to play videos in the background?
Music Tube is a free app for Android. It plays any video in the background as a music track, so you can lock your phone, switch apps, or turn the screen off and keep listening. More than 340,000 people already listen this way.
Can I keep listening with the screen off?
Yes, that's the whole point of the app. Press play, then minimize the app or lock your phone. The audio keeps playing, and you can pause or skip right from your lock screen or notification.
Which websites does it work with?
Music Tube is a video browser, so you can open YouTube, Twitch, TikTok, Rumble, or any other video website. Whatever you play, the built-in background player keeps it going as audio.
Is there a sleep timer?
Yes. Set the sleep timer and the music stops on its own, so a mix, a podcast, or rain sounds never play all night.
Is Music Tube free?
The app is free to download and try. There's an optional paid upgrade if you want to unlock the full set of features.
What devices does Music Tube work on?
It's on Android for now. You can get it on Google Play.
How do I play a video in the background?
Open Music Tube, find a video, and press play. It turns into a music track with a title, artwork, and seek bar. Then minimize the app or lock your phone and it keeps playing.
Is Music Tube affiliated with YouTube?
No. Music Tube is an independent browser app and isn't affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by YouTube, Google, or any other platform. It doesn't download videos, it just plays publicly available web content in the background.
