I tried to watch this video Xojo Native Toolbar customization, and gave up because of the incredibly annoying elevator music is louder than the narrator.
Is Xojo planning on drowning out narrators with annoying and loud music in all their videos?
Please stop with background music - it interferes with trying to understand what’s being said.
I’m not seeing that effect. The background music is present, but does not interfere with the narrator.
I do prefer videos with no background music.
In this case, louder than any other youtube video I have played.
I agree that the music could be softer.
I’ve seen such complaint few times in several occasions, so I made a request to the Youtube team to create a specific class of videos, special for those classes of videos where there’s a narrator, like tutorials and educational contents, with 2 separate channels of audio, foreground and background, so the audience could control themselves the volume of their preference. Who knows, maybe they could like the idea and schedule some tests, and maybe it can be integrated into the product.
Have you ever been driving, and you’re looking for an address, and you turn the radio down?
Why? The radio isn’t blocking your line of sight. The audio doesn’t interfere with your eyes… but you still turn down the music or turn it off to focus on finding a a house number. That’s the same with watching a video with loud music playing while the narrator speaks - except I can’t turn down this music.
And if you are deaf like me, or have ESL, then loud music playing while someone is speaking makes it even harder to understand what’s being said
While I can download the video and use DaVinci Resolve to remove the music, that’s way more effort than it’s worth for a 1-minute video.
YouTube videos can have multiple audio tracks, but it’s meant for different languages, not background music.
Why even have background music at all when people are narrating? There’s a reason you don’t see lecturers or teachers putting on background music when they’re lecturing or explaining things.
Slightly off-topic, but the music they used reminded me of this:
There’s an entire science for that.
Observe how many BG content plays (very well) here, for example:
I’ve removed the music: Watch Implement Native Toolbar Customization in Your Xojo macOS App (No Music) | Streamable
Since I don’t speak english easily (only write and read), I always put english subtitles on videos narrated in english.
That could be an additional option for you.
Nobody mentions the KI-Voice 
Listen to it with the German AI voice, then you’ll have a good laugh. 
But that’s more Google’s fault than Xojo’s…
Thank you!
I try to avoid YouTube’s auto-craptions.
98% of the time, it doesn’t even get Xojo’s name right. So much for SEO (Yes, YouTube closed captions/subtitles are included in search engines.)
Technical terms and codes? It’s pretty awful.

Subtitles/Closed Captions are meant to be read a whole line at a time. Reading a subtitle using write-on (one word added at a time) is as annoying to read as the sentence above.
Much better. Thank you very much.
No, never, but my wife does all the time. She can’t cope without doing so. She’s an only child and so grew up in a quiet house. I on the other hand was one of three kids, background noise was continuous and unavoidable. I presume I just get used to it. I’m perfectly happy coding with a tv on in the background or even with a set of headphones on with music playing.
People are just different, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with either way of living.
Noted 
. Lower background music volume. Constructive feedback is always welcomed 
I couldn’t agree more. It smothered the narration for me, and I wasn’t wearing my hearing aids.
