- Можно добавить поддержку горячих клавиш на любой сайт с помощью расширения "User JavaScript and CSS" и кода setTimeout(function() { document.dispatchEvent(new CustomEvent("MediaControlStateChanged", { "detail": "enabled" })); }, 5000); // Web Page Media Control API interaction (v0.4) // https://github.com/feedbee/web-page-media-control-api-spec document.addEventListener("MediaPlayPause", function () { document.querySelector('').click(); });

- According to the Developer's Sourceforge page, this extension does not work with Google Podcasts. That's the only reason I downloaded it. I'm deleting it.

- Супер. Ютуб теперь переключается :)

- It worked fine until the latest update to Chrome. Since then, if it is enabled, media keys don't work for anything while Chrome is open.
- Andrii Kadygrob
- Расширение перестало работать после обновления Chrome до версии 89.0.4389.90

- Thank you!

- It does work very well ! One of my favorite extension, since I'm a YT and Google Music all day long consumer. It works well, but since Google Chrome added it's own solution 'Global Media Controls' there is a conflict. But Google's solution seems to not be currently able to handle next/previous buttons. You have to disable Global Media Controls in chrome://flags/

- Works pretty well but I wish it wouldn't Hijack keys when no player is playing on chrome. Also is there any possibility for audible support? Would be awesome!
- Salvador A.L.
- Sadly, it doesn't work anymore for YouTube. It used to work, though. Now, when I try to pause a video, it just pauses for a moment and starts playing right away.

- Works great with Das Keyboard media keys. Essential for listening to Google Play Music in the background.
- Tyler Hostetter
- Control Chrome: Play/Pause as normal Control Spotify: CTRL+Play/Pause or ALT+Play/Pause Absolutely amazing work, such a such a simple change, but huge quality of life improvement. I can now control both Chrome and Spotify with my hardware media keys. Thank you very much!!!

- doesnt work for me on youtube !
- Châu Đỗ Ngọc Thanh
- Good!! Suport media key of windows laptop so good!!!
- Ian Bowman
- This is very useful and saves time when skipping songs with Tidal. I think a cool feature enhancement would be to have the page title scroll the song playing so that I know the name of a song without opening the tab, sort of like Facebook messenger on PC. Overall great app and does exactly as it suggests!

- Ting! it's on, working perfectly. Tung! it's off for this tab... Also turned off perfectly fine. BEAUTIFUL job on this extension.
- BaSsGaZ
- Same as others! Works on YouTube, not many others. I doubt the list of supported services is accurate! It didn't work for me in TuneIn
- Anton Rudeshko
- Thanks! Helps a lot. Not great with multiple tabs, but solved it with per host permissions.
- taoufik tamiss
- Does what is claims.
- Daniel Vrána
- It works, but I had to stop using it because it acts on all open tabs at once..

- WONDERFUL

- Just works plain and simple. This functionality should be built-in in a browser. Thank you author!
- Pra M
- Thank you! <3 My new must have for Chrome. Why on earth aren't media key controls part of the standards for websites to use?! Upon a quick Google I came across an outdated fork of this. Thankfully someone suggested this! It's not perfect though. It is absolutely terrible with multiple tabs. It is *something* though.

- Apparently, Key Socket Media Keys aren't compatible with macOS Mojave (yet). Would love to see a fix, since I'm fan of this add-on and want to give 5 stars again! :)

- Fantastic extension, essential for streaming music via the browser.
- Bas van den Wollenberg
- Works great. I'd like to be able to blacklist certain sites, but it's not a huge issue.
- Bernd
- When you hold the button for just a bit it pauses and plays very fast; or it skips more than one track (Win10 & Soundcloud) THX to the dev
- Phillip Han
- Works as advertised. If it doesn't work for you, try closing and reopening Chrome, and it should work.
