youtube stops playing when switching chrome tab

Solution 1:

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

Solution 2:

On Google Chrome Version 71.x

Disable expensive-background-timer-throttling

Solution 3:

In 86.0.4240.75, disabling chrome://flags/#calculate-native-win-occlusion worked for me on Windows

Solution 4:

You can disable it with this flag: chrome://flags/#enable-audio-focus-enforcement
