My Question or Issue

I'm trying to figure out how to keep Spotify playing in the background when I open another app that wants access to my phone's audio.

Specifically, when I view a video on twitter or YouTube in the Edge or Chrome browsers, Spotify stops, and the audio for the video clip takes over as the only audio being outputted.  This is especially frustrating when it's a site that autoplays (and sometimes ads will be the culprit).

Is there a setting somewhere (either Android, or Spotify, or browser) that would help me?
