The Dolphin icon on your Apple screen


For Apple IOS users, YouTube can be made to keep playing in background while other apps are active via a quick detour through the Dolphin Browswer.

1. Open Dolphin
2. Type in the Youtube url and hit return
3. Start the file playing
4. Without pausing it, leave Dolphin and open the IOS Control screen (bottom up sweep from any screen)
5 Find the sound box, which will show a file pause, and click play
6. Return to the file you were working in

ELAPSED TIME: 10 – 15 seconds

For Windows users, copy the url above, paste it into an email to yourself, and send. Open email on your smartphone and click the link. Listen as you return to your open Windows file on the PC. (This also works for Apple systems.)

ELAPSED TIME: 15 – 20 seconds
