I pretended to have a reason to move the camera (I pretended I was trying to get the perfect angle for a yt vid) bc!!! in my opinion, actions with purpose behind them are a lot more relaxing than those without. you know what I mean??? PS inspired by a comment by @Mr.Alright. thanks mr.alright!!!
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).
