Multi-Tab Controller for YouTube
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!

Outdated (most func. don't work), w/o hotkeys almost useless.

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.

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.

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!

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)

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

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!

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

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!

Really helps when listening to music in the background at work. And it's nice that it supports multiple tabs

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.
