I just watched a video that said new York city had a population of 8.8 million as of the 2020 census but had a metro population of over 26 million? I don’t really understand where they got that 26 million from. Another example, LA, had a population of around 3.8 million but a metro population of over 9 million. Where do they get those metro area figures from?

Basically there’s the area that’s legally called part of the city, but if there’s skyscrapers on both sides of the city line it’s obviously still realistically part of the same city, even if it isn’t legally. So they call that whole part the metro area.
