If you wish to watch YouTube in PiP mode without Premium on an Android device such as a smartphone or tablet; all you need to do is install the VLC player app from the Google Play Store for free. Here’s how you can go about the process- 

• Play any video on the YouTube app that you wish to view in PiP mode.
• Tap on the Share button below and from the list of options available select Play With VLC. 

• That particular video will now start playing in the VLC Player app. Tap on the three dots at the bottom right corner. 

• From the menu that opens up, select the option of Pop-Up Player.

• Your video will now start playing in PiP mode and you can use your phone in the background seamlessly.

For Apple fans using iPhone or iPad, you can also watch YouTube in PiP Mode without Premium via the Safari browser. So, here’s a simple three-step guide on how to play YouTube videos in Picture-in-Picture mode without a Premium subscription for iOS users- 

• Open YouTube on the Safari browser and sign in to the terms of service. Now, play any video that you would like to view in PiP mode.

• Enable the full-screen mode. This step is an important one since without enabling the full-screen mode, the PiP trick won’t work.
