You COULD play any YouTube video in the background on Chrome on iOS until about a year ago. YouTube specifically sabotaged their site by registering hooks that stop the video when the browser loses focus, so you can't even view something in another tab, much less turn the screen off. This "feature" is a regression with no benefit to the user, and Google was so ashamed at what they did that they didn't even tell anyone.
Luckily, you can thwart it by:
1) Requesting the desktop version of a YouTube video
2) Replacing youtube.com with hooktube.com in the address bar
Perhaps soon Google will disable the use of labels in GMail and then charge you for "GMail Red" to get access to them again.
Shitty move on their part.
