WHAT IS ASMR? In short: ASMR videos feature soft voices, whispers, object sounds, or precise movements. Listen to them with headphones for best results! For maximum relaxation, listen in a calm environment; people often listen before bed! ASMR can cause tingling in the head, which is common, as well as in other areas like the neck, back, and legs. It depends on each individual's sensitivity!
To listen while using other apps, switch the player to Picture-in-Picture (PiP) during playback — it keeps playing in a small floating window (the screen stays on).
To listen with the screen fully off, in-browser playback stops by YouTube's design. Open the video in the YouTube app to keep listening where background playback is supported (e.g. with YouTube Premium).
