If you do background playback it just downloads the audio and not video, reducing bandwidth considerably.

YouTube Vanced is awesome.

Otherwise video compression works by altering a static image. If the image remains static there’s basically nothing no do, as long as it doesn’t create needless key frames (whole images).
