Does the website have a way for me to play against myself?

You can play against yourself.
Go to https://www.chess.com/analysis and start moving pieces for white and black. You can turn off the evaluation bar if you don't want the computer to give you hint on which side is better. You can also set up custom positions and play it out against yourself.

I've seen a few threads discussing the pros and cons of playing against yourself, making fun of the concept, etc - but I haven't seen any way to actually do it.
Does it actually have an option to do that? I see chess youtubers move pieces for both sides, is that a content creator only thing?
I don't want to play the computer or other people right now - I just want to create scenarios for myself and then see if I can figure out the best way to play them from both sides.
Is it a feature that's hidden behind the premium thing? I'd be willing to pay both to support the website and to have access to the feature, but I'd like to know if it's a thing that's doable on the website. Laying out a board in real life is unfortunately not an option at all times.
