Face Pause

Look Away to Pause Youtube - Experimental Chrome Extension

Chrome (v56+) has a new FaceDetector API which basically lets you detect faces in images easily, so what if we could pause youtube when you look away or going to make a sandwich 🍞?

How to install

You can install Face Pause from the Chrome web store

Notice

• 🏴 To get the extension to work you’ll need to enable Chrome Experimental Features here:

chrome://flags#enable-experimental-web-platform-features

• 💡If you’re in a dark setting it will probably be a bit buggy, as FaceDetector API is still not great in bad light.
