AirPods Pro play/pause opens Apple Music instead of resuming YouTube

Title: AirPods Pro Play/Pause Button Opens Apple Music Instead of Resuming YouTube Playback


Hi everyone,


I’m experiencing an issue with my AirPods Pro when watching YouTube videos using Picture-in-Picture (PiP) mode.


Here’s what happens:


While watching a YouTube video in PiP mode, pressing the AirPods button pauses the video as expected.


However, when I press the button again, the YouTube video does not resume playback.


Instead, pressing the button again launches Apple Music and starts playing music.


This is quite frustrating because I expect the AirPods play/pause control to resume the YouTube video rather than switch to Apple Music.


Has anyone experienced the same issue? Is there a setting or workaround to prevent Apple Music from automatically taking over playback?


Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you
