I was picking a part of the video to post as a short when I noticed this. 🤯 Lauged so much at this, I can’t 😆 I filmed this at 3am though, was clearly too tired and got badly lost in translation.
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).
