plz excuse background noises there were like a bunch of people at my house when I recorded the sounds. videos pretty scuffed in general. this is like a test to see if this is a good idea. I’ve been thinking of getting a decent camera and making lots of videos focused on hand movements with layered sounds. my phone is so bad i can only record 720p lmao which might affect the quality of hand movements and such. I feel like, on paper at least, this style of video should be extremely effective for asmr. i dunno. i’ve been a bit out of ideas but have been tempted to focus on hand movements for a while.
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).
