After YouTube music was released, many people stopped using Spotify and Amazon Music. Though, Spotify is still better in terms of content. Because there are over million podcast titles on Spotify available. But, these days, almost all new songs come first on YouTube. Sometimes, a song gets stuck in our minds, and, we like to listen to it on a loop. Unfortunately, YouTube App does not let you play YouTube videos in the loop, but the Spotify App offers such a feature.
Surprisingly, the desktop version of YouTube offers a loop option. In case, you’re not aware, play a YouTube video. Then, right-click over that video. And, you”ll get the “Loop” option, just click on that. That’s it, you can now listen to your favorite music on loop on the YouTube site. But, I don’t think, YouTube will release this feature in their Android and iOS Apps anytime soon. Because they took quite a long time to release dark mode.

Other Methods to Play YouTube Videos in Loop

For Android users, this method is the best and easiest way. But for iPhone users, this method will not work, so do try the next method.

Similarly, you can do it on an Android smartphone, you just have to open the YouTube site in desktop mode.

- The video will now keep playing in a loop until you close the browser.
