YouTube stops playing when I switch tabs Android

Google-chrome youtube stops playing when switching chrome tab

google-chromeyoutube

When playing some youtube video in a frame/embedded (from an external site, not directly on youtube.com), playing pauses when I switch to another tab (make the playing tab inactive).

Is there any way to turn this off?
So that when I switch to some other tab, video will keep playing in it.

A good example is playing some track on https://www.shazam.com/myshazam

P.S This behavior is shared between various browsers checked and replicated on Chrome & IE.

Best Answer

try to go in chrome://flags (in the address bar) and change pause-background-tabs to disabled. I think it is working for me.
