This is my first attempt at ASMR! Granted, I am very unfit and thus there is some panting.. Feedback on all else would be helpful as I plan to make more (better) videos of this kind :)
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).
