About

TikTok & Instagram Keep Playing allows videos on TikTok and Instagram to keep playing even when the tab is in the background — for example, when you switch to another tab or window.
Normally, Chrome pauses these videos when the page is not active.
With this extension, you can control that behavior:

ON: TikTok and Instagram keep playing in the background (so you can listen or watch while doing other tasks).

OFF: Videos pause when you leave the tab.

This makes it perfect if you like listening to TikTok or Instagram audio, songs, or live streams while multitasking.
