Summary

Play or Pause any inactive YouTube video tab from any active tab, while viewing other pages online. 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
  • Jump to Next / Previous video
  • Jump to beginning of video
  • Skip forward / backward 15 seconds
  • Close or Jump to YouTube tabs from the extension popup

Suggestions and bug-reports are very welcome

Nice! Can you also add a small slider to control the volume of each video individually?

Great addon! I've known it first under Edge, and it just fitted my use case. I just found out that if you activate it you can use Space to pause/play the vid - only thing that would make it even better is the support for keys for advancing/rewinding the vid. Great job!
