    They made it very clear by giving picture in picture mode only for YouTube red users.

    There are some unserious apps out there that are possible to do that. I wanted to develop one of my own, but afraid of their licenses etc. and dont want to get sued.

    @devJoe As said above, they have implemented it in the *paid* YouTube Red. So they do know of course how to do it, but they don't want to in the free version. That should show their intentions clearly.

    If only they would offer YouTube Red outside of US.. already paying for Play Music, why shouldn't I get Red too??

    Yeah if you have YouTube Red then you can minimize the app and continue hearing the audio. I think they specifically disabile this feature for unpaid users.
