I know this video is a bit silly but I've been agonizing over my first script and wanted to get something out in the meantime to help ease my nerves. I'll be sure to get my first real audio out soon!
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).
