For example, a user may play a music video using a media streaming website accessed through a browser running on the user's computer. In many cases, however, a user may simultaneously access multiple streams of multimedia content. For example, if the browser is a tabbed browser, the user can open a new tab and play another multimedia stream in the new tab. In this case, the first browser tab of the website playing the original media stream is minimized or transitioned to the background, and the new multimedia stream is active in the current tab.

[0019] In one embodiment, a visibility monitor running on the user's computer detects that the first media player is no longer visible to the user because th...

Abstract

A multiple media module receives data indicating a status of a tab of a graphical user interface (GUI) presented on a user device. The multiple media module determines, based on the data indicating the status of the tab, whether the tab is active, the tab comprising a streaming media player. If the tab of the web browser is not active, the multiple media module mutes an audio component of a streaming media file playing in the streaming media player.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of multimedia content, and in particular, to adjusting the volume of multimedia when switching between multiple multimedia contents. Background technique [0002] Streaming media is multimedia, such as video and audio content, that is received by and presented to end users as delivered by a streaming provider. With streaming media, client media players can start playing media content before the entire file has been transferred from the server, for example, over a telecommunications network. For example, a user may access a media streaming website using a web browser running on a personal computing device. Users can play multimedia content, including video and audio parts, from media streaming sites in the media player. The streaming provider may transmit the audio and video portions of the content over a network, such as the Internet, to the personal computing device, where it may be played in a media playe...
