Tired of having a hard time looking for the tab that has the playing icon to go to the thing you were watching or listening to?
Sometimes you have lots of tabs open and finding the tab that's playing can be a hassle.
This Chrome extension solves that problem by allowing you to go to the tab that is playing audio by simply clicking a button or with a keyboard shortcut.
Simply click on the button in the toolbar and you will go instantly to the tab that is playing audio.
It works with different windows too. You can be in Window A and if something is playing in Window B, Window B will be focused in the playing tab.
By default no keyboard shortcuts are specified, to set them go to Settings -> Extensions -> Keyboard Shortcuts (it's at the bottom).
It can also close playing tabs with a keyboard shortcut or by right clicking on the icon. When you do the command once it will close all tabs emitting sound except the current tab, do the command again and it will close the current tab (if it's emitting sound). This is good if you're watching something and want to close all other tabs that are emitting sound except the thing you're watching.
I recommend using the keyboard shortcuts, I find them very useful, especially when they're set to global.

Reviews of go to playing tab:
This is a sanity saver! I am so glad I found it. Thank you. I have hundreds of tabs open at any given time, and I lose my mind after a reboot. Previous attempts have been less that idea. MUTE TAB HAS SAVED SOME SANITY and LOTS OF TIME!
This is such a simple and effective fix for the pervasive problem of trying to figure out which tab is playing audio. Now when I hear unexpected audio, I'll stop it in literally about 5 seconds. If there are multiple tabs playing audio, just repeat the process and it will find each of them in turn. Fantastic.
OMG solves the F'nGoogle Chrome problem!
