JAKARTA Samsung DeX offers interesting tricks for Samsung Galaxy Tab users. Users can watch YouTube videos in the background for free while still opening other applications, a feature that is usually only available to premium subscribers.

Samsung DeX is a system designed by Samsung to provide a desktop-like experience on mobile devices. This feature allows users to open and manage multiple application windows. The goal is to increase productivity, similar to how a computer works.

To enable this feature, users only need to activate the Samsung DeX mode on the Galaxy Tab device. After that, open the YouTube application as usual. Users can freely adjust the size of the YouTube application window according to their convenience.

After the video is played, users should not immediately shrink or hide the window. This action will cause automatic videos to stop. In order for the video to keep running, there is a special way that must be done by the user.

One of the tricks is to let the YouTube window disappear by opening another app. The new app window will cover the YouTube window, but the audio from the video will continue. This allows multitasking without audio interference.

If users want the YouTube window to remain visible on the screen, there are other options. They can press the Pin Window to Top button located next to the Minimize button. That way, the YouTube window will remain in front of all other app windows.

It's important to remember that this feature only allows video playback continuously. This feature does not eliminate ads that usually appear. Video ads will continue to play as usual according to YouTube's policy for free users.

This feature is a practical solution for users who want to listen to podcasts or educational content on YouTube while doing other tasks. Users can get a YouTube Premium-like experience without the need to spend subscription fees.
