    After being forced to update to 10.3.3, even with the "automatic update" not selected (i'm still pissed off about it) I just found out that Youtube (from the browser) no longer works while the screen is turned off. Also, one nice feature was the capability of true multitasking, and being able to run youtube while doing something else on the phone. Apparently this functionality is also a thing of the past.

    My question is : Why fixing something that works?

    I'm one of the few die hard BB fan, and going towards an Android phone is not a future option I am delighted to envision.

    BB OS 10.3.2 was fine, running smoothly, why pushing an update that creates more harm than good? Also, this update being late, It won't change too much to wait few more weeks in order to have a "Working" update.

    Thank you for reading me.

    Best regards,

    No issue here listening to YouTube either minimised or with the screen off.

    I keep hearing so much negative things about 10.3.3, makes me want to stay as far away from it as possible, how did your phone automatically update?

    Same thing happened to my Passport and it's so annoying now! Me personally, I live with it though because with the screen on, battery still last me pretty well. Hopefully they'll have an update soon to fix all of the problems.

    It turns off for me too if I minimize app. However, it keeps playing if I do so in the desktop version, which I would prefer not to use.

    I have the same issue noted above Conite. Please run any video from the m.youtube.com page and revert, thanks. As others have noted it's a bit more convenient to run it from this link than the full Web page. I think the change is on YouTube's end because it was fine last week, and now there's an issue.

    I understand what you are saying, but something has to give here because it's happening to multiple people right now, including myself.

    I will try a hard reset on my Z30 and revert.

    Unfortunately it's still there, and I haven't changed any settings in my browser. Just to clarify this is specific to mobile page. Something is definitely going on there..

    Same here with my Passport. In desktop mode, if I minimize the browser it keeps playing, but with desktop mode off, when I minimize it stops.

    I couldn't find any setting to solve this.

    I believe I may have a solution as it is working now.

    When you open the mobile site, click on the 3 dots (settings) in the top right corner of the page. Click desktop when it pops up in the middle of the page. Let it go to YouTube desktop mode. Then slightly below the top of the page you'll see the "go back to mobile site."

    When I did this I looked at the address bar and it said blah blah "persist," and it went back. Then I played the video and minimized and now it's back to normal.

    Hope this helps everyone.

    I found that if I toggle the "Block Pop-ups" off in the settings page, Youtube plays minimized or even with the screen off. If I turned it back on, it doesn't.

    Comparing the settings with my Z30, I noted that in my Z30 browser I have a permission for youtube that says "Popups" and is on. In my Passport I don't have that permission and I can't find a way to create it.

    Same problem for me since today. But I'm on 10.3.2.2888. Did YT change something in their end?
    I also followed one of your method of unblocking pop ups, it's still not working. .
    This was one of my favourite feature of BlackBerry .

    Got same issue since last week on my Z30

    but it is too many strange things going on.. it works fine on desktop mode, from time to time it comes back working normal for half an hour on background, but it suddenly stop working on the background with no reason after a while. It mostly doesn't work, videos do not involved because same videos before working in background doesn't play any more.

    Have no glue what is happening

    Hahaha!

    No offense, but you are comparing the second used language in the whole world (even more than english, yes) with Lithuanian which doesn't make the top 100.

    I'm still on 10.3.2. I haven't upgraded to 10.3.3 because of all the negative comments about it thus far..
    But this thing with YouTube has become a downer for me. I tried restarting my device hoping it would revert back, but no..
