Multi-Tab Controller for YouTube Extension

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!

Mechazawa3001 (ID: 00000076df43ec35) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 05/17/2023 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.

_ (ID: 0000007a80204a0e) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 04/22/2023 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.

geoff ree (ID: 000000451a3d31bb) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 09/27/2022 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!
