Google appears to be bringing background playback to its YouTube TV streaming service.

The company confirmed to The Verge that it’s “experimenting” with enabling YouTube TV playback after a phone is locked.

The feature was spotted a couple of weeks ago by Reddit users who found they could continue listening to YouTube TV audio even after sending the video app to the background.
