Today I found out that YouTube dropped a new compression setting that could mess with your ASMR experience, so I thought I really should make a video about it! In this quick vid, I’m breaking down what’s happening, why it’s an issue for ASMR content, and what you can do to fix it (because we gotta keep those tingles going). If you’re into ASMR, make sure you watch, and please share the word with your fellow ASMR lovers - let’s make sure this doesn’t ruin our chill time! ✌️ p.s. If you are already aware of this update and I'm just a dinosaur, as per, ignore this update! 🎵 Listen to my MUSIC: / @kintramusic / kintramusic 📸 CONNECT with me on Twitter, TikTok or Instagram: @asmrshortbread 🎧 on Spotify as ASMR Shortbread
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).
