I had an idea for a crazy mic setup and wanted to try it out. I think it turned out pretty well! I have 12 total (2 not used in the video) and each of them has a clip, so if anyone has ideas for what to do with them let me know!
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).
