How to Tell Which Browser Tab is Playing Back a YouTube Video

Another quick tip.

Sometimes you might just have a lot of time to kill and you end up with a whole stack of browser tabs containing YouTube videos that you want to watch. However, you might lose which tab has a video playing back if you’ve got a large number of them opened and you’d have to click through each one to find out which one has the video on it.

Well, there is an easier way to find out!

Just look at the browser tab for the little play icon:

YouTube Tabs - Playback Indicator

YouTube Tabs – Playback Indicator

If the tab has this icon in it then it is actively playing back video otherwise the video is paused or has finished – simple!
