Automatically pause the YouTube tab when the tab is hidden
Automatically resume the YouTube player when that gets focused
Can get disabled from the action button.
How it works:
Only on YouTube pages, a very tiny script is injected, which controls the player's playing state based on document visibility status. When a YouTube tab is brought to the front, the player automatically resumes exactly like pressing the play button, and when the document is hidden, the player will automatically pause exactly like when the pause button is pressed.
Sample Use Case:
Having multiple YouTube players on different tabs. When a tab is focused, only the active player is playing, and all other players will go to the pause state.

Reviews of auto pause and resume for youtube™:
Everything I need. An enable/disable button. Auto resumes when looking at the page. Auto pauses when not looking at the page. Edit: Not working when I alt-tab. It worked the first time. Weird. Edit2: Alt-tab sometimes work...
This Extension works like a charm. I especially love the fact that it pauses only when switching between tabs of the same Chrome window. I often type or work in a separate window and can still have a youtube video play in another. I would suggest an improvement. I personally like the auto-pause, I sometimes find the auto-resume to be bothersome. It would be useful to have an option to select which ones you choose to activate. That would make this Extension even better.
finally a plugin that actually works on youtube again in regards to pausing and playing when switching tabs. The low number of downloads and reviews always make me wary but looking at the contents of the plugin itself I dont see anything malicious unlike some other similar youtube plugins that dont even work. So thank you dev, it is much appreciated.
