Overview

🎥 STOP FACEBOOK FROM PAUSING YOUR VIDEOS

Tired of Facebook pausing your videos every time you click the URL bar, switch windows, or click outside the browser?
This extension solves that annoying problem automatically.

✨ WHAT IT DOES

Keep Facebook Videos Playing prevents Facebook from automatically pausing videos when you click away from the page.

Now you can:
• Watch videos while working in other windows
• Click the URL bar without interrupting playback
• Multitask freely without videos stopping
• Browse other tabs while listening to video audio

🚀 KEY FEATURES

✓ Automatic - No setup or configuration needed
✓ Works instantly on Facebook.com
✓ Manual pause still works perfectly
✓ Only one video plays at a time (switching videos pauses the previous one)
✓ Lightweight and fast
✓ No data collection or tracking
✓ Completely free

🎯 HOW IT WORKS

Simply install the extension and visit Facebook. That's it! The extension automatically prevents Facebook from detecting when you click away, so your videos keep playing.

You can still pause videos manually by:
• Clicking the pause button
• Clicking on the video itself
• Using keyboard shortcuts

When you start watching a new video, the previous one automatically pauses - so you'll never have multiple videos playing at once.

🔒 PRIVACY

This extension does NOT:
• Collect any personal data
• Track your browsing history
• Access your Facebook account information
• Send data to external servers
• Display ads or pop-ups

The extension only runs on Facebook.com and only modifies how videos respond to focus changes. Your privacy is fully protected.

💡 PERFECT FOR

• Multitaskers who work while watching videos
• People who frequently switch between windows
• Anyone frustrated by Facebook's auto-pause behavior
• Users who want background video playback on Facebook

🛠️ TECHNICAL DETAILS

The extension uses standard web APIs to prevent Facebook from detecting when you navigate away from the page. It's built with Manifest V3 (the latest Chrome extension standard) and only requests minimal permissions needed for functionality.
