Only on things I’ve seen before and I’m a huge rewatcher. I still am primarily engaged in the show or movie and usually just use my phone mid watch to make posts about it before I forget.
If I’m every “second screening” the second screen is always the tv. The tv is a background noise machine. I have two monitors on my PC is that second screening?
honestly think it’s a dumb concept used to portray people as getting dumber. People have used TV as background noise forever and they used radio before that. If a piece of video media actually demanding your attention you shouldn’t even be able to “second screen”
You’re on my second screen right now
I’ll work my way up to first.
I have ADHD, does that answer your question?
I’m writing a paper, listening to YouTube and posting this at the same time all while recovering from the flu. Get on my level.
I am definitely not going to burn out in an hour.
Adhd gang. I split it either playing with my cat and googling actors as well.
i play games where I dont have to think or read, mostly skateboarding or snowboarding games, while listening to podcasts or youtube videos
I do that too, I can listen and do something with my hands in a really good balance.
i put long youtube on my second monitor when i play a video game that doesn’t have voice acting
Main monitor is for Minecraft. Second is for Northernlion. This simple principle has brought me much success.
I second screen while working even though my job requires my full audio-visual attention.
I’ve got a podcast playing on a tablet while typing this
I listen to podcasts while playing games, but if I have to read or think I need just game audio. I never watch videos/tv shows on a second screen, though.
I would regularly use two or even sometimes 3 screens… it did not do my attention span any favors. could be something like a movie/game on tv, laptop open, and looking at phone. bleghhhh why
Yes, always. Basically the only stuff I actually main screen is subbed.
Me, watching YouTube on the tv and TikTok on my phone at the same time, destroying my brain
Me, reading books and dEsTrOyInG mY bRaIn (I should be memorizing the oral histories like the previous generations, of course)
I play 4 accounts on EVE Online at once, I need a 3rd screen honestly
Mod comment
yea, i like to rewatch stuff or watch video essays while i draw or play non-narrative video games
i personally can’t stand doing it for too long at once though it starts to grate on me and then i have to read or write in silence
I only do it during a movie if the movie is boring. But whene I’m playing video games or doing something on my laptop, I have a YouTube video or podcast playing on my phone. Also I have ADHD so that probably factors in
