Latest reviews

• (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) Koji Taniguchi: After looking at dozens of other garbage extensions, I finally found one that actually works. Thanks a lot!
• (2023-01-23) 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"); }); ```

• (2022-06-24) L G: 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.

• (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!
