decided that since i was on my laptop and was about to eat a snack i decided to record without setting up my equipment. sometimes i get tingles (well it enhances my asmr experience, so i thought, maybe some other people feel this way too?) from lower quality videos technical wise.
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).
