March 16, 2026 • 3 min read
You want YouTube playing while you work. Maybe background music, maybe a tutorial you listen to. Here is how to loop YouTube in the background.
Desktop Browsers
Chrome/Edge: Right-click the tab and select "Mute tab." Minimize the browser or switch to another window. The video keeps playing and looping.
Enable Loop First
Before minimizing, right-click the video and select "Loop." The entire video plays continuously.
For Section Loops
With YouTube Looper Pro, set your A-B loop points first, then minimize. The specific section keeps repeating in the background.
