世界之窗

Last time I shared a dynamic window frame that costs $1,000 to $2,000 and requires a paid subscription. It's just too expensive to buy. Luckily, I'm a tech geek, so I created a YouTube playlist instead! "World Window, Take You Around the World" I've compiled a batch of YouTube looping videos to create a playlist, which is simply called "World Window". The playlist will continuously play window views from all over the world, including parks, waterfalls, forests, and bustling cities at night under rain. The coolest thing is that each video has background sounds that create the atmosphere. The average length of each video is over three hours. When you're reading on your computer, you can immediately feel like you're on vacation abroad by playing the videos on your computer screen. However, I recommend that you have YouTube Premium like me to avoid ads.
