Do not receive notifications to my Apple Watch when the iPhone is on

I receive notifications while watching videos on my IPhone, however, do not get them on my Apple Watch. I watch videos in the background and new messages. What should I change in the setting to receive notifications?

Apple Watch Series 8, watchOS 9

As long as you are using your iPhone, your Apple Watch will not show incoming messages.

If your phone is in standby, your watch will show received messages.
