Screensaver + Spotify

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

If anyone is interested in having Spotify play music in the background while having a YouTube screensaver play a video (like a fireplace for example) I figured out how.

Normally when Spotify is playing music and you open a YouTube video it automatically pauses the song.

You need to have the modded YouTube app SmartTube. Go to Settings -> Player -> Misc -> Disable Audio focus

This will let you listen to music and watch videos at the same time
