Can I play music from youtube while the screen is locked?

[AC Question]

I upgraded to a samsung galaxy s7 edge and I want to play music from youtube but whenever I lock the screen while playing it, the youtube video stops playing and when I open the phone again I have to unpause it. Just wondering if there's a setting or something to let me do this.

I imagine YouTube assumes you are otherwise occupied if you lock the screen, so it pauses the video until he returned. I don't know any setting to override that...

As far as I can tell, the only way the YouTube app allows for offline/background play is if you subscribe to YouTube Red.
