Tutorial
TabCarousel is simple: open tabs you want to monitor throughout the day, then click the toolbar icon. To stop, click the icon again.
By default, TabCarousel will flip through your tabs every 15 s, reloading them every 5 min. It's great on a unused display or TV. Put Chrome in full-screen mode (F11, or cmd-shift-f on the Mac) and let it go.
If you want to change how often TabCarousel flips through your tabs, right click on the toolbar icon and choose "Options".
New in 0.5.4 (2020-05-14):
* Reduce permissions for Chrome Web Store policies
New in 0.5.3 (2012-08-21):
* Bug fixes
New in 0.5.2 (2011-07-06):
* Added an option to start Carousel automatically, by request from a user
* Tabs that have previously failed to reload now reload correctly
* Carousel now only flips through tabs in the window in which it was started
Example Uses
On a computer that has an external display (like an HDTV), try opening:
* NewRelic - Open as many tabs as you want for your apps -- don't forget to turn on "kiosk mode"
* Twitter - Make a list of services you use, for example, and open it
* Status sites:
* GitHub
* Heroku
* Hoptoad
* Monitor your build service, such as CruiseControl
* Packages with tracking information
* Anything else that's on the web that you want to monitor

- (2022-06-08) Jordan Weaver: It works great. The best part is that it requires zero extra permissions. It would be 5 stars if it allowed me to change the auto refresh time or disable it.
- (2021-09-22) Alexandra Melia: It's good, but very disappointing you can't use full screen mode
- (2020-04-10) AC KA: Feedback from early users has clearly been taken on board as this extension works perfectly IMO. From one dev to another, excellent job mate :)
- (2019-06-05) Eduardo Fernández: This extension is useful if you have static images/gifs displaying in multiple tabs. If you want to cycle through videos, or have videos be on loop this is NOT FOR YOU. This extension unfortunately doesn't reload the page and disables loop from a video that has loop selected.
- (2018-11-29) Wong Eric: 赞得一逼，肥肠好用！
- (2018-05-28) Jeroen Hutjens: Very helpful and simple tool. Does exactly what it needs to do, cycle through tabs and refresh them once in a while... Great!
- (2017-10-30) Alexandra Huang: Yes yes yes. I have to monitor several screens for my work and this is literally perfect. Thank you so much for making it!!
- (2017-10-09) Marlow Quast: Works great! I've had it running constantly between reports and refreshing now for over a week. Leadership is happy to see live (or close to live) data as they walk by the team's area.
- (2014-12-15) Paul Calabro: Very useful application for monitoring graphs and charts. One recommendation would be to have the extension run on the selected window, not all open Chrome windows. You don't necessarily want all browser windows doing this.
- (2012-09-03) Alexander Thomas: Requests focus when switching tabs, no option for turning off auto-refresh (despite being set at 5 minutes--this is still too short for my uses). If these were fixed, I would happily use this.
- (2012-01-20) David Wear: Really like this. Only recommendation would be to have the refresh time adjustable, or turn it off. I have a page that needs a login again after refresh, so refresh only hurts in this case.

Hi, this extension is very useful for me, but the little problem is after restart thin client when chrome is auto started. The option "Start automatically" is select and after chrome restart is this option set as default (turned off) and extension is not auto started. Thank you for your help. - (2021-12-02, v:0.5.4) Juan Escobar: Tengo una PC con 3 monitores

Each time i start chrome i got a ERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND on the extenstion but she's working Already uninstall all chrome and reinstall all, same problem Chrome version : Last update - (2017-12-14, v:0.5.3) Refresh
When the extension does an auto refresh every 5 minutes, it make me have to log into one of my sites. - (2017-11-06, v:0.5.3) Marcin Kościelski: New functions?
Hey. Good plugin! Here are my suggestions: 1. Will be better if could be turned on or off in each window separately. 2. Let it do no refresh – just cycle just the opened and loaded tabs. 3. If the plugin can check if user is scrolling, clicking or at least typing, let it pause (and reset) the clock until user stop be active on currrent tab. Hope you'll be inspired by this. :) - (2015-12-31, v:0.5.3) K Simms: security
how secure is this app. does anyone have the ability to track or do third party monitering through it?
