Autopause on tab focus loose

[PF4Public]

Would it be possible to pause on tab focus loose?

"Autopause all background tabs except the active one" - there is a similar plugin.

Yes, I will do what you want. I will notify you when this functionality becomes available.

It is indeed similar, but it does not cover the situation where one switches to non-youtube tab. I also wonder if focus loose triggers upon mouse leave from the browser window to another window. By any chance do you know if that's the case?

Thanks!

You can see for yourself. Replace:

// window.addEventListener('blur', pause);

with:

window.addEventListener('blur', function () {
  video.pause();
});

and turn on "Autoplay on tab focus"

[PF4Public]

window.addEventListener('blur', function () {
  video.pause();
});

and turn on "Autoplay on tab focus"

It works! Video got paused both by leaving the tab as well as by leaving the browser window. There is also a side effect that interacting with browser window (opening extensions menu, window menu etc.) pauses the video, therefore it would be useful to have an option for pausing specifically as some people might find this behavior disturbing.
