• Download Opera Mini Browser from app store.

• Open it. And open YouTube website.

• Navigate to the video you wanna watch/play in background.

• Start playing the video, and press the Home button to close Opera Mini.

• Swipe up on the home screen to open Action Center and swipe left to reveal the music player.

• In Action Center, you will see the YouTube video instead of your music. Tap play. Done.

This one is even more simpler than above IoS one. Believe me, Android users are for a treat today.

In this workaround we are going to use an app but you will not find it on play store. Yes, because if developer does so, Google will probably remove it.

It's name is Ymusic or YouTube Music to be precise.

You can download it from Xda Developers website.

Or from here.
