Since the rise of a global pandemic, people locked down all over the world are looking for ways to connect with the outside world. Better yet, connect with a world of their imagination. As the stresses of the everyday mount, you can visit Hogwarts for the afternoon, spend some time in a coffee shop with Natasha Romanoff, or listen in on a rainy night in Gotham City. The YouTube trend of Ambience Rooms has been emerging over the last year with many videos having thousands or hundreds of thousands of views.
The variety of ambience rooms is endless and many last an hour or longer. You could listen to a Paris jazz lounge, but we liked to live in the fantasy of this new content, first. We have collected the best of YouTube’s ambience videos for your favorite fandom.

The Avengers Tower

You join them in their games or lounge on the couches, listening to bits of conversation, or, perhaps, you try to get some work done. Every so often someone pours themselves or you a drink and, sometimes, as is inevitable with the heroes, they break out into an argument.
Coffee Shop Date with Natasha
