How to stop video in tab?

jquery, tabs, video

Solution

DEMO — Switching tabs pauses any playing videos.

By using the YouTube Player API, you can play/pause/stop videos.

<script src="//www.youtube.com/iframe_api"></script>

<iframe width="510" height="287" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/VIDEO_ID?enablejsapi=1" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

<script>
  $(function(){
    $('iframe[src*="//www.youtube.com/embed/"]').each(function(i) {
      this.contentWindow.postMessage('{"event":"command","func":"pauseVideo","args":""}', '*');
    });
  });
</script>

Note the `?enablejsapi=1` query string appended to the YouTube embed URL in the `iframe`.
