I think the only time I ever properly watched something while doing something else was when I had to do incredibly monotonous measurements in the lab, holding a little sensor to random positions on an object, for hours, so I watched LOL while doing that. Since both activities required less than half of my brain, it was fine.
Sometimes I watch YouTube videos while doing something else like playing a game that doesn’t always require full attention, or editing photos. But only if there isn’t much going on visually anyway and I’m mostly listening.
I would never watch a movie and do something else simultaneously. Movies are a main focus thing.
