Summary

Analyze keywords

Pause, play skip, rewind YouTube videos from the extension popup.

If you would like to control YouTube videos while browsing the web in another tab, you need this extension.

It's common these days to listen to music, presentations or Podcasts on YouTube while browsing the web and not necessarily watch the video. Sometimes, you may leave your desk, need to concentrate or chat with a colleague, and changing to the correct YouTube tab in order to pause the video may be troublesome or embarrassing.

This plugin solves that problem, by allowing you to pause and play again from any tab. In addition, there is a button to jump back (rewind) the video by 15 seconds if you lost concentration for example. Additionally you can jump to the next or previous video in the current playlist.

Features (from popup):

Play / Pause YouTube videos from any tab
