ChromeAuto Pause and Resume for YouTube™
By: MeryDev
Automatically pause YouTube videos when tabs are inactive and resume when active. Seamless playback control for better multitasking.
Features & Capabilities
Auto Pause and Resume for YouTube™ is a Chrome extension designed for seamless control over YouTube playback across multiple tabs. It automatically pauses the YouTube player when the tab is hidden and resumes playback when the tab becomes active again, enhancing your multitasking experience. You can toggle this functionality on or off via a convenient toolbar button, allowing background listening when desired. This extension injects a mini script exclusively on YouTube pages, managing the play/pause state based on document visibility. Compatible with Chrome version 95 or newer, it offers a smart way to ensure that only the active YouTube tab plays audio or video, reducing distractions and saving system resources.
