YouTube plays “elevator music”

Question

When I start to watch any YouTube video, YouTube starts to play a random background music over the YT page. If I pause the video, the music continues to play. The only way I can make it stop is to close down the browser. I'm using Crome and have YouTube Premium (3 month free trial).

Have anyone had a similar problem? And how did you fix it?

It makes YouTube unusable.

Answer 1

You may have background play turned on for YouTube Music. (YouTube Music Premium is included with YouTube Premium.) Try disabling it by following these steps:

• Select Menu
• Select Settings
• Select Background Play
• Select Off
