This is ideal if you love a channel and just want to enjoy a random video. One of my favorites features a Stellaris-style soundtrack, with regular updates and great quality. I know I’ll enjoy every video, especially since they’re all an hour long.

When I want to get into the moment, I just click a link and continue what I was doing, usually playing it through my Bluetooth speaker or desktop sound system at low volume — https://maggew.com/random-SciFiAmbience

This shouldn’t take you too long, maybe 10 minutes to get up and running for something that can pay serious dividends to future you.

1. Download addon to Video Extract URLs — https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/youtube-url-extractor/jmilibpbdpajjnabchfpfmmmjgbimefo
2. Visit favorite YouTube channel and scroll to very bottom of videos page so you can “fetch” all the URLS instead of just the top 10 or 20 that load
   1. https://www.youtube.com/@Futurescapes-SciFiAmbience/videos
3. Click Extract URLs than Copy URLs to clipboard

4. Visit an online tool to add a prefix and suffix… we want to prepend a quote symbol and append a quote symbol with a comma… I like this one — https://text-tools.dev/prefix-suffix-lines

5. After you copy to clipboard, we’ll want to create a new snippet than paste and replace the lines below in the code example
6. Log into WordPress website and Add new snippet than copy / paste the text below and activate.
7. Visit yourdomain.com/future-SciFiAmbience
8. *(optional) change line #4 random_slug to whatever you want
9. *(optional) update your blank new tab landing page or create a bookmark for you visit when you wanna vibe out to some jams…
