My solution to videos freezing while switched to a different tab or application


I am writing my piece as a solution to the browser automatically entering efficiency mode. To reiterate the issues I face,

  • Videos freeze when I switch to another tab/application in fullscreen mode. This becomes a hassle when you are streaming a specific tab to another person or recording a specific tab while working on something else.

Solution:

From my experience, this can be used in any Chromium browser. Right-click a shortcut, go to properties, then on the target box after the line add

" --disable-backgrounding-occluded-windows"

After entering the text in the target box, depending on where you installed Brave, it should look similar to this:

“C:\Program Files\BraveSoftware\Brave-Browser\Application\brave.exe” --disable-backgrounding-occluded-windows

Use this shortcut to open the browser.
