@TeamYouTube Hey, the Youtube app refuses to play videos in the background when my phone is locked. I've got Youtube Premium, the next billing date isn't until the 9:th and I've tried following the troubleshooting steps on the support page yet nothing works. Do you know why?
My app is up to date, I'm signed on the correct account and it seems to be working fine on my computer. I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S7 when trying to access this feature. It does show me this image whenever I try to play the video, but i don't know if it helps you though.pic.twitter.com/4arLuIEeSN

Hmm, just to confirm, have you tried uninstalling the app updates> restart your device> reinstall app updates? This helps fix most transient issues. Let us know if that helps!

Just tried that as well. It still won't play videos in the background when I lock the phone. Is there anything that can be done about this or is it just my phone being completely out of wack for no reason?
