The Video paused prompt pops up in a browser when a video has been left playing in an inactive page time for a certain time period. That prompt pauses videos left playing in background YouTube tabs. However, the Video paused feature hasn’t gone down that well with YouTube users. Some of them want to leave their YouTube music video playlists playing in background tabs, and this prompt can be very annoying. Furthermore, some YT users have also said on Google’s forum that the Video prompt frequency is increasing. YouTube doesn’t include any built-in option to disable that prompt, so this guide will cover this topic for all browsers.
