Braidata Media Controller

Pause audio and video across tabs. Resume only what you paused, using a keyboard shortcut or the toolbar button.

Pause playing audio and video across accessible tabs. When you resume, Braidata Media Controller starts only the media it paused earlier. HOW TO USE Click the toolbar button or use Ctrl+Shift+Space. On macOS the suggested shortcut uses physical Control, not Command. Configure another shortcut at chrome://extensions/shortcuts if needed. WHAT IT DOES When any accessible media are playing, the extension pauses them. When none are playing, it resumes only media marked by its earlier pause action. Players that were already paused stay paused. Closing or navigating away from a page clears that page's playback markers. COMPATIBILITY Works with standard HTML5 audio/video in accessible pages, frames and open shadow roots. Protected browser pages, built-in PDF viewers, discarded tabs, closed shadow roots and some custom players are unavailable. Website or browser autoplay restrictions can prevent resume. No website-specific compatibility is guaranteed. PERMISSIONS AND PRIVACY Website access allows the action to reach players in background tabs. The scripting permission runs the packaged control function when you request it. Playback markers stay in page-local extension memory. No browsing history, form contents or playback data are sent to Braidata. No account, advertising, analytics or external service.
