Extension summary
A Chrome extension that will let you play and pause videos or songs playing in other browser tabs.
If you are listening to music on Youtube while visiting another web page, you won't need to go back to Youtube to pause the video.
Extremely simple to use:
- pick the tab where the music is playing
- use the keyboard shortcut to play or pause
Default keyboard shortcut: ⇧ + alt + P Customizable by going to: chrome://extensions
User reviews
It worked for Youtube as of Sept 2020 as long as I changed the keyboard shortcut... which wasn't readily visible on this extension's page, but instead on the "Shortcuts" page. But it didn't work on the another website that I intended to use this extension primarily for that seems to have trouble continuing to play sounds... so not much use for me. Seems like it doesn't let multiple tab controls either, so it's strictly for one tab and only that one.
別ウィンドウになっているタブも一覧に表示されると、更に最高です!
Doesn't work. The default shortcut doesn't work and there's nowhere to change it.
