Not sure where to put this. Sometimes I put my phone in my pocket, but still want to hear the audio of what I'm watching while doing other things. Is there a way to lock the screen without any interruptions? I also have the Hulu, Xfinity, and Direct TV app to watch live programming. I know the Samsung video app allows us to lock the screen...

Is there a way to lock your screen while watching YouTube or other live streams on other apps?

I have this same problem.
I have a flip case for my phone, so the only thing I can do so far is leave the screen on but close the case to protect it.

I just bought Touch Lock app, and it does the trick! However, if you press the phone's power button, whatever livestreaming apps you have opened and YouTube will be closed. I was hoping it works like Tunedin Radio or Pandora when you have the screen off, and the audio still plays. Anyway, better than nothing.

Go to Settings->Accessibility->Dexterity and Interaction and enable the Interaction Control.
Once enabled you can lock the entire phone, enable/disable certain buttons and you will be good to go!
