#12I maybe in minority on this. I can focus only on one thing at a time. I fail miserably if I try even background music. It would play but I probably wouldn't register. And if I hear the music then my work will take at least twice as longer.

#13Brooks bears are wonderful. The sound is calming. I also like Surfline: https://www.youtube.com/live/hm9iAviOZ20?is=zkOMcU_8Sck0LOer
Love that sound. I could sit at the beach all day

This makes perfect sense. My friend's cat is basically into window TV too

#15Not on YouTube I think but my friend to told me about the great elk migration 24/7 stream in Sweden is her yearly favorite thing. I think one can watch it on SVT homepage https://youtu.be/Pz35sXPjo2c?si=tEP5TlI8rDqWccb9
I love this already. Slow-moving large animals are an instant yes for me

#17Renesse aan Zee — a square in a Dutch seaside town. Cafes, bikes, people
wandering past. Closest thing to the doorbell-cam feeling someone mentioned
above.

I keep a directory of these so I ended up counting: that one has been live without a break for 8 years and 47 days, the oldest I've found. Most don't come close — median across the ~2,000 live cams I track is 193 days. Stream keys expire, power goes out, storms take the camera down.

#19Some streams of the EarthCam channel (Temple Bar, New Orlean, etc). A bit of Virtual Railroad fans too (Revelstoke, Flagstaff, etc). Truck driving lives (esp. because of engine sounds, good for concentration). During U.S winter storms some random storm-chasers lives.

#20I keep ProductTrailers.xyz open when I'm eating my breakfast. It's a TV channel for Product Hunt launches.
