Loads youtube videos in the unstarted state
Chrome Extension for Turning off Autoplay on YouTube.
Disables the "Video Paused. Continue Watching?" popup on YouTube.
Pause other audio and video sources if audio is playing on active tab with automatic resume
Stops videos and gifs from auto-playing.
Pause YouTube video when switching tabs, resume when returning.
Simply does not work. Activating a tab starts playing the video. Always. Which means that the video can start playing when you don't want it to.
Almost exactly what I want, except it doesn't work for videos you open in new tabs. Switching to those tabs will play the videos immediately, even if you don't have the resume functionality enabled.
It works most of the times, but it has some bugs which make every-day use annoying.
After looking at dozens of other garbage extensions, I finally found one that actually works. Thanks a lot!
Doesn't work. Temporary solution (copy and paste for each youtube visit) ``` function toggleYoutubeVideo(value = null) { const videoElements = document.querySelectorAll("video"); // contains false positives too if (!videoElements?.length) throw new Error("No video elements found"); const mainVideoElement = Array.from(videoElements).find((videoElement) => videoElement.src.includes("blob:https") ); if (!mainVideoElement) throw new Error("Main video not found"); switch (value) { case "play": mainVideoElement.play(); break; case "pause": mainVideoElement.pause(); break; default: mainVideoElement.getAttribute("paused") ? mainVideoElement.play() : mainVideoElement.pause(); break; } } window.addEventListener("focus", function () { // document.title = "focused"; toggleYoutubeVideo("play"); }); window.addEventListener("blur", function () { // document.title = "not focused"; toggleYoutubeVideo("pause"); }); ```
useful tool for focusing on what youre doing at the moment
Great. Just what I was looking for. Thx mate.
Awesome but doesn't work with 2+ monitors the window is clearly out of focus and the video still plays ,have to switch between tabs to make it work which defeats the purpose
Great work! thx!
This is great for watching tutorials. But sometimes i would want the video to not pause. So it would be nice to have a shortcut to temporarily disable the pause functionality. Otherwise i have to keep pressing the extension icon to uncheck those and check again few minutes later when i need them. Even better would be if it disabled itself for a certain minutes. Then it automatically enables itself. That way i wont have to remember to check those boxes again. Otherwise this extension is great help.
