Description from store
Pause, play skip, rewind YouTube videos from the extension popup.
If you would like to control YouTube videos while browsing the web in another tab, you need this extension.
It's common these days to listen to music, presentations or Podcasts on YouTube while browsing the web and not necessarily watch the video. Sometimes, you may leave your desk, need to concentrate or chat with a colleague, and changing to the correct YouTube tab in order to pause the video may be troublesome or embarrassing.
This plugin solves that problem, by allowing you to pause and play again from any tab. In addition, there is a button to jump back (rewind) the video by 15 seconds if you lost concentration for example. Additionally you can jump to the next or previous video in the current playlist.
Features (from popup):
* Play / Pause YouTube videos from any tab
* Jump to Next / Previous video
* Jump to beginning of video
* Skip forward / backward 15 seconds
* Close or Jump to YouTube tabs from the extension popup
Suggestions and bug-reports are very welcome!

- (2023-05-17) Mechazawa3001: Easy to use and does exactly what I need it for - pause a video without having to switch to the tab and loose the focus of the current one. Would've been nice if the pause button is bigger and with a different colour.
- (2023-04-22) _: If you have multiple tabs open playing Youtube videos, this extension doesn't let you pause them all simultaneously. This extension doesn't even let you close multiple tabs at once. The red stop button only pauses one video at a time, not multiple videos all at once. I don't even hate this extension, I don't like giving negative reviews but this extension is mostly useless, there's no point in using it.
- (2023-03-21) fumiya sato: it work well for me, used to use brave browser list manager and recently switch to edge browser, really miss this feature.
- (2022-09-27) geoff ree: works fine in opera GX. ive been using this for years BUT ALWAYS HAD THE SAME COMPLAINT. i just never reviewed and told you. finding WHICH tab in a list of 50 is damn near impoosible. i have to scour the seconds moving to tell me which is playing. could you PLEASE colorize green or blue or some shade of something if the tab is CURRENTLY playing audio. its just a pet peeve that irks me and has for years lol. but on the upside ive been using this for years and in my top 10 insta installs on a chromium browser. so please change this asap. ill donate some coffee. \\thanks!
- (2022-04-15) 3JakeTheSnake3: Does not do what it said's not in Chrome at least. It works in Firefox but not chrome.
- (2021-08-31) Karthick Annadurai: it was greatly usefull while working t previously i need switch btwn tabs to change songs without anyone noticing
- (2021-04-12) Jaxson Thomas: There is a slight lag when pausing and playing but otherwise it is great
- (2021-02-16) Christopher Evensen: Please add hotkeys for the scanning back/forward functions. I've been trying to find a way to control a tutorial video away from the tab for ages with my keyboard and I thought this was the way, but no hotkeys... (TAT)
- (2020-11-13) 1Surinamer: i have open like 15 tabs, but the extensions only shows 8, is there a maximum tabs you can open? Great extension, love it alot!
- (2020-08-04) J L.: Downloaded in order to play multiple YouTube videos at the same time (different tabs, same window) since Chrome/YouTube isn't allowing it anymore & I can't seem to find that chrome://flags function that should disable that background throttling It worked so I'm happy, only using it for that one function though
- (2020-03-03) Fabricio Brunetti: Works great. Please add support for YT music
- (2019-11-25) Erek Gilbertson: Amazing widget!
- (2019-11-14) Артем Чубенко: Add rewind tracks as done in the plugin "Tab Play" https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/tab-play/jjeagdfnfenacnncimelkhlnhkbiaoch - your plugin will be the best!
- (2019-10-25) Sarah Smalley: Awesome! Now I can skip songs and not worry that my coworkers are thinking that I'm not working. I love it! :D
- (2019-09-20) Yusuf: it would be great if you can add keyboard shortcuts to buttons. Great extension
- (2019-09-15) Terra Nova: The author was very responsive to a feature request I had, "Pause All", and implemented it in v1.6.0 via a new "Stop sign" icon. Please see: http://disq.us/p/23s7ji4
- (2019-08-19) Z1 Root: Awesome! Where has this extension been all my life?!? I've been looking for something like this for ages. I like being able to see which tabs have videos playing and manage them all from one interface. I think it's great that you have more than play and pause, but have other controls, too. That's sooo much better than expected!
- (2019-06-01) Hassen Elberkennou: This is an EXCELLENT extension. Thank you. Btw Andrew, are you using the youtube API or tab DOM?
- (2019-05-20) John Patrick Manalo: Fills in the gaps where Spotify can't! Thank you for this godsend!
- (2019-05-20) Trevor Phillips: Really helps when listening to music in the background at work. And it's nice that it supports multiple tabs
- (2019-05-10) Ajayvarma Uppalapati: Great extension. I am looking so far this type of extension my journey ends here. If we have previous and next buttons it would be more useful.
- (2019-01-12) Sergey Andreev: Вполне себе работает, проблем не заметил.
- (2018-12-09) Disciple de Jésus-Christ: marche
- (2018-09-06) Nagy Tamás: Very promising, but needs hotkeys (in case you don't know: chrome://extensions/shortcuts) prev, next vid is also a must
- (2018-06-27) Mike F.: Por fin una extensión de este tipo que funciona
- (2017-12-06) Avi From: This is exactly what i was looking for!! Thank you for creating!!
- (2017-09-18) David Peterka: Slow, but it works nice.
- (2017-05-25) Michael Xz: might not be super pretty but it is by far the best extension of it's class. Why? it does everything important and in a simple interface. Would be nice to have the current video tab that is open of each browser window in the browser highlighted. Or to be able to seek by clicking a spot in the current time display area
- (2017-05-07) Jose E Montoya: first thanks for the extension is excellent only wanted to comment if you can add a button to advance to change in the playlist Thanks Again
- (2017-02-01) vitor costa: Can i user any hotkey to pause or play my video?
- (2017-01-22) Sameer Youssef: Nice BUT it needs another 2 buttons to allow going forward and back in the YouTube playlist
- (2016-09-28) Michael Macleod: Awesome extension, very practical! Need one for Firefox too!
- (2016-09-02) Akhil K.Venugopal: Loved it! Could you please add a forward seeking option like the rewind seek you already have?
- (2016-07-07) Skana Works: Does exactly what it says. Can also close youtube windows right from the plugin. AND it also works on youtube tabs from other Chrome windows....!!! *_*
- (2016-06-29) tawheed abdul-raheeem: Love it!
- (2016-05-28) Jack Webb: Does exactly as it says. Useful if you have lots of tabs open and go between videos sometimes (Say a TV shows vs a short clip or podcast vs video). It could be a little faster, and I think the buttons could be slightly clearer/larger, but neither of these detract from the experience. Good Job dev :)
- (2016-05-15) Rob Gordon: I was looking for a play/pause button directly in the youtube tab but I think this is even better! Really cool, thanks!
- (2016-03-11) Joshua Marentette: I feel as if the extension should be a one-click app. But it does what it advertises to do - pause Youtube videos from whatever tab you're on. I wouldn't mind it being a bit faster, but I do like the app.
