IOS – How to control YouTube playback using voice commands

iossiriyoutube

I like to listen to music and podcasts on YouTube on my iPhone while driving. I have my own custom playlists containing content to listen to while driving.

One drawback is that there doesn't seem to be a hands-free way of controlling YouTube through Siri. This means that I'm unable to skip forwards or backwards in playlist while driving without taking my eyes off the road.

I've tried few different Siri commands, including:

  • Play next video
  • Play previous video
  • Pause video
  • Play Bohemian Rhapsody on YouTube

How can I control YouTube playback using voice commands?

Best Answer

Try a 3rd party app - perhaps one of those developers coded up their app to include Siri voice commands.

I'm not sure which ones support voice commands; let us know if you find one that does!

Some that allow playing music in the background, might have paid attention to this voice commands feature: mashtips.com/youtube-music-streaming-ios-apps/
