Is there an easy way to keep playing YouTube videos in the background, even if I switch to a different app?
I'm not interested in using the Safari multitasking trick. I want something super easy to use.

The other question lists an answer for using the default Youtube app too. – Gerry Mar 16 '12 at 09:17

On iOS 5.1 (not sure for earlier versions) the same procedure works for the YouTube app too (as for Safari):
- Start the video in the YouTube app.
- Press "Home" button once to go to springboard (or twice to switch to another app)
- Press "Home" button twice to bring up the app-switcher. Slide to the right to bring up background audio controls. The icon on the right side will show whichever program you last used with background audio: YouTube.
- Press Play. YouTube audio will resume playback.
