Chrome Beta for Android learned to play YouTube videos in the background

Last update Chrome version for beta testers to get a really significant. The program has been changed home page and added a feature of the background listening to audio and video.

After installing Chrome 54 especially evident disappearance of buttons frequently visited sites with a new browser tab. I would not say that this innovation can please Chrome users. Instead of quick access to favorite sites, we will now show a selection of recommended links. To view it you will need to squander down a bit.

The second innovation is much more pleasant. In previous versions of Chrome video playback automatically stops the browser or switching to another application when minimized. But Chrome 54 became possible to listen to the audio stream of the background of the movie, even when the browser is minimized.

We have previously wrote about such a possibility in the mobile Firefox. The new version of Chrome is realized even more convenient. Here in the curtain, a special notification containing the name of the video and button to control playback. This function works with YouTube, Vimeo and other services strimingovymi.

The updated version of the Chrome Beta has to be available in the Google Play catalog of applications. If your local Chrome 54 Beta still missing, you can download the installation file here.
