Description from extension meta

Global hotkeys for online music players including support for media keys.

Image from store Streamkeys

Description from store If the hotkeys are not working for you verify that they are set in the extension tab. To do that, click on the chrome menu (3 horizontal stripes on top right) and go to tools -> extensions. Scroll to the bottom of the page and click on "Keyboard shortcuts". From that popup you can change the keys to those of your choosing. This extension enables you to control the basic features of online media player hotkeys via global hotkeys. Pressing a hotkey will trigger an action in the media player's tab. There are 4 actions bound to the following default hotkeys: Play/Pause: Media key play/pause Play Next: Media key next Play Previous: Media key previous Mute: Ctrl + Shift + 2 Support for the following features can also be bound to hotkeys by the user (or controlled though the popup): Like Dislike Stop You can change the hotkeys from the Chrome extension tab. To get there click on : Settings icon (three horizontal lines on top right of browser) => Tools => Extensions => Keyboard shortcuts (link at bottom of page) If you have any suggestions for more media players to add for the next release let me know!

(2024-08-05) John Chaney: EDIT 8/5/24: skip this. Only use the original version from github. Extension doesn't even work at all anymore Doesn't work for only the most recent tab anymore (play/pausing affects basically all open youtube tabs, which as you can guess is a mess). However if you build the extension yourself, there's a fix which works, instructions are here: https://github.com/berrberr/streamkeys/issues/845#issuecomment-1073268462

(2023-11-21) Rafael Peixoto Lourenço: Ownership of the extension was granted to someone else, the original owner doesn't have control anymore and doesn't approve of how the extension is being updated without any transparency. At any point, the extension might start collecting data on its users and already is interacting with the user's social media accounts without their consent. More info: https://github.com/berrberr/streamkeys/issues/1098
(2023-11-08) Zac: Play/pausing the most recent tab doesn't work, at least not for YouTube... Please Fix!
(2023-09-07) MoonsTreasure islands Moons: DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS, it gives permissions to read and write ALL DATA you visit on ALL websites, this is a massive, massive secutity data breach to every single user!!! (read the pop up before hitting install!)
(2023-07-30) Olle Djerf: Works well, but some inconsistent behavior. Some sites seek forward a few secons while others skip to next video/track. Would be great of we could have separate shortcuts for both actions.
(2023-07-28) Fernando Rubbo: Doesn't work for youtube. I spent a lot of time reading the materials and the only thing this extension did was to break my current play/pause button to work on youtube. What I needed: When youtube is not in focus, I would like to click << key to go 5s << and I would like to click >> key to go 5s >>. But I haven't found a single extension that can do that. When I have youtube focused I press << key to go 5s << and I would like to click > key to go 5s >>. But when it is not in focus, there is no option at all
(2023-05-10) J W: Was working well until today, pause/play and next track works, but previous track doesn't. Is there a fix for this?
(2023-01-09) Zach Saucier: It works great for my Subsonic server.
(2022-05-21) Dálember Vallejo: Hola funciona muy bien, para configurar atajos de teclado para pausar vídeos incluso no estando en Chrome. Podrían añadir la opción de hacer lo mismo pero con diferentes sitios web que nosotros queramos. Hay muchos sitios web que no reconoce la extensión...............
(2022-05-02) Michael Stipe: great tool. works like a charm. would enjoy a jellyfin support as well.
(2022-03-30) lll: Spotify hotkey "Like" stopped working :( please fix button "like" hotkeys !!!
(2022-03-22) huhu haha: YouTube pausing keeps locking up, so Pause/Play basically is not functional. Good for skipping tracks though.
(2022-03-22) Adam: Great extension that was unfortunately abandoned and doesn't work properly anymore. It's a shame, because the fix is on github and has been there for some time, but they refuse to do anything about it.
(2022-03-17) adadad: 用了这个键盘多媒体键没用了
(2022-03-10) Efraem Ranchez: I thought it was okay, until I open multiple tabs of youtube (which I always do). When pressing play, it plays all tabs. It should play the active tabs only or at least set this things.
(2022-02-28) Adriano: It works flawlessly with Deezer web app (probably with all others streamings too). Perfect.
(2022-02-15) Nathan Hartwell: This was the best... Unfortunately, its not really working anymore... Looking forward to a fix soon.
(2021-12-23) Farzan Cooper: Used to work with Amazon music before, but does not work anymore. Youtube and other sites are still compatible. Please fix this.
(2021-12-23) Justin LaBarge: Just lost pandora control. I used to be able to control Pandora with this exentsion, but now I cannot. I checked and made sure everything works in youtube, and when I close everything except the Pandora tab, it does not work.
(2021-12-06) Web Technologies (WT): There is NO option for select site there extension is active.
(2021-06-08) Johannes Potapski: Finally my media keys work again
(2021-06-02) Joseph Adler: Love it but Spotify web player's play/pause is no longer working for me.
(2021-05-27) Roman Borets: Stop working on spotify - playing next, idk maybe spotify change something.
(2021-04-22) Rihard Sk: awesome! i rly like priority tab, so i can manage spotify over soundcloud over youtube!
(2021-03-18) Orkhan Allahverdi: Normally Mac Media keys should work with YouTube (It does with YouTube music). But only play/pause works for me out of the box. Next and Forward only work 2 times out of 100 tries. This Extension worked like a charm! Thank you! Keep it up! Everybody that uses chrome extensions and such free tools should consider making donations so that there is an incentive for the developer to keep updating those useful tools!
(2021-03-11) A S: Works nicely with soundcloud too. Cheers
(2021-03-08) Gabriel Calin: Reinstalled it after a year. It was working before. Not anymore. Nothing actually works for me. I enabled Plex, I added my Plex hostname as an alias, I reloaded the options page, no alias was saved. Still, somehow, when I start a song on Plex, it detects the site as Plex TV, not sure if it's right or not, but I can't do anything with the song: pause, play next, play previous, nothing works. Hope they correct it soon.
(2021-02-03) Kyle: As of the Jan 18 2021 update this works again
(2020-12-28) Ryad M: Hi, this extension is a must have! Anyway, I've a bug: this does no more work with spotify... (the tab is detected, but controls are doing nothing...)
(2020-12-07) Jeroen Bol: Incredibly helpful tool to assist with following tutorials/courses
(2020-12-01) Сергей «Skaflock» Семёнов: Stopped working on Spotify because element classes in html has changed
(2020-11-30) bee: Suddenly stopped working for Spotify. Is there any alternative that works as well as this used to?
(2020-11-08) Tom Joad: This stopped working with Amazon music, which is all I used it with. Multiple users have reported this. Are you going to fix it? It's been a month.
(2020-09-28) Victor Villacis: I was having some issues with YouTube as it was not recognizing it. In chrome browser I went into Chrome://flags -> Ctrl+f "media keys" -> Enabled it. This is because chromes new update allows you to control YouTube with the media keys. Only problem is I had 20 windows open so on play it plays all of them. So I just set it back to default and disabled it in StreamKeys and now I can use it for my music player like YouTube music.
(2020-09-27) Ivaylo Stoyanov: I installed this extension but it's not working on YouTube... I assigned Play/Pause button to be Alt+Shift+C but nothing happened when I was browsing different tabs..
(2020-09-14) Mashfiq: best extension ever as i listen to music always :)
(2020-09-10) ekarron: This is what Chrome should add to their native "control your music" cause without keyboard shortcuts it's so useful.
(2020-08-16) Eragon: Doesn't work
(2020-08-02) Ocheze Amuzie: perfect way to mimic global media keys on a chromebook. awesome app!
(2020-08-02) João Mauricio: Funcionamento perfeito no Chorme!
(2020-07-22) czipcok1994: Have nothing bad to say about the addon. I would love to see an option to add additional sites to control, but I imagine its impossible to do so.
(2020-07-06) JCDenton Alex Melyon: Глобальные клавиши перестали работать
(2020-04-09) Kat: Nice! it would be great to have also music.youtube.com supported!
(2020-02-28) Maddie Gabriel: 10 stars!
(2020-02-27) Trace Signs: absolutely a five-star app when it's working! unfortunately the most important functionality for me, global play/pause hotkeys, gave up the ghost recently. if and when it gets fixed, this will once again be a lifesaver for anybody who's addicted to background noise and multitasking!
(2020-02-18) Wagner Franklin: Bem útil. Funciona muito bem no opera.
(2020-02-14) Scott Arbaugh: Works perfectly for Pandora site in Chrome on a Mac allowing bluetooth headphones to control track skip/pause/resume.
(2020-01-27) Pascal Rigo: I'm loving this extension and I've been using it for some time now. Great addition to your Chrome! BUT the extension requires "access to the browser history"... I'm not convinced this is purely for functional purposes. I don't think it is for the "previous track" feature, looks more like a privacy intrusion to me. Also. for Mac users I've had to remove/redo the hotkeys binding recently, I don't know why but some hotkeys stopped working on my mac. maybe not related to the extension itself. Issue is now fixed.
