Stops Youtube on tab unfocus and continues on focus

Have you ever watched a video on Youtube and suddenly someone (your boss) jumps behind you and the video keeps playing? No worries; with this extension the video will be paused when you change tab. Boss gone? Refocusing the tab will continue the video. And you can determine the functionality as you like.

Small and convenient little extension for everyday use!

Awesome but doesn't work with 2+ monitors the window is clearly out of focus and the video still plays ,have to switch between tabs to make it work which defeats the purpose

This is great for watching tutorials. But sometimes i would want the video to not pause. So it would be nice to have a shortcut to temporarily disable the pause functionality. Otherwise i have to keep pressing the extension icon to uncheck those and check again few minutes later when i need them. Even better would be if it disabled itself for a certain minutes. Then it automatically enables itself. That way i wont have to remember to check those boxes again. Otherwise this extension is great help.
