• (2023-08-14) Liam: only work at first few minutes, then stop working???
• (2023-05-19) Guilherme Pedrosa: Works fine. Lots of options!
• (2023-03-27) David Spector: 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.
• (2023-03-15) Quitch: 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.
• (2023-03-05) Facundo Zapata: It works most of the times, but it has some bugs which make every-day use annoying.
• (2023-02-25) Derda: After looking at dozens of other garbage extensions, I finally found one that actually works. Thanks a lot!
• (2023-01-23) Muhammad Sanjar Afaq: 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"); }); ```
• (2022-10-10) Ki !: useful tool for focusing on what youre doing at the moment
• (2022-06-24) Lig Gol: Great. Just what I was looking for. Thx mate.
• (2022-03-04) Shadow: 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
• (2021-12-11) Max Ol: Great work! thx!
• (2021-09-08) Swaraj Adhikary: 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.

• (2021-02-08) O P: Works as expected. Nice work.
• (2020-12-16) Paris B.: Didn't do anything at all
• (2020-11-08) Jem Crystal (Jem Fay Crystal): I use Enhancer for YouTube™2.0.101 on my Chrome Browser. I study tutorials. In the last month it's function to pause Youtube has not been working. I reported in bug section but no fix. I study a tut to a point then copy paste the spot on the vid using Share option Youtube. Bookmark it. Open where left off next day. I really need the video to pause at this point. So love this Youtube Auto Pause by drodil it works along with Enhancer. Good job!

• (2023-03-05, v:1.4.1) Facundo Zapata: Weird Behavior, even when disabled
  It causes some weird behavior even when disabled, like Youtube videos sometimes pausing themselves automatically at start even when the tab was on focus the whole time, etc. And also, really annoying, if you disable Autopause, all Youtube videos currently loaded on Chrome will start playing EVEN WHEN OUT OF FOCUS. This happens EVERY TIME. If you fix these annoying bugs, I will give 5 stars and leave a review. As it stands, it is too buggy
• (2022-03-04, v:1.3.5) Shadow: Issues with 2+ monitors
  I mention the problem in the reviews, if a fix arises or clarification please let me know, love the extension so far
• (2021-09-08, v:1.3.5) Swaraj Adhikary: Disable pause functionality temporarily and a shortcut to do that.
  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. Best 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. Thanks.
