The Video does start when you are tabed out… but there is no audio for me. The video itself is playing but the audio does not
i have to tab in to start the audio

The same is occurring to me. I’m using Chrome but I also tested with Edge and the behavior was the same.

Thanks a lot for all of your feedback! I’ll investigate this. As a workaround you can run Watch2Gether in a seperate window instead of a background tab.

The moment W2G is not in focus it does not work properly anymore

Same problem here. Its not playing when the window is in the background, or when Notebook is locked. you can’t minimize the tab you must have it open in a window if you want the video playing with audio.

Problem is with Chrome, Edge & Firefox on a windows 10 notebook.

Haven’t tried with an android (the app) or iphone yet.
