About Hotstar Ad Mute
Silence advertisement audio during supported Hotstar and JioHotstar live streams β without blocking, skipping, or removing the ads.
Hotstar Ad Mute automatically detects supported advertisement breaks during live streams and temporarily mutes the tab's audio. When the advertisement break ends and live content resumes, your audio is automatically restored.
π How it works
Start watching a supported live stream on Hotstar or JioHotstar.
The extension monitors supported advertising and player signals.
When an advertisement break is detected, the tab is automatically muted.
Consecutive advertisements in the same ad break remain muted.
When live content resumes, your previous audio state is restored.
You don't need to manually mute and unmute the stream every time an advertisement starts.
π Built for live cricket
Advertisement breaks can interrupt the audio experience during long live cricket sessions. Cricket Ad Mute is designed to stay quietly in the background so you can continue watching without repeatedly reaching for the volume controls.

π§ Your audio state is preserved
If your stream was already muted before an advertisement started, the extension remembers that state.
For example:
Audio ON β Advertisement β Muted β Live content β Audio ON
or:
Audio OFF β Advertisement β Muted β Live content β Audio OFF
The extension does not assume that your audio should always be turned back on.
πΊ It does NOT block advertisements
Cricket Ad Mute is an audio muting extension, not an ad blocker.
It does not:
Block advertisements
Remove advertisements
Skip advertisements
Hide advertisements
Modify video streams
Modify advertising content
Bypass subscriptions or access controls
The advertisement continues playing normally. Only the tab's audio is muted while the detected advertisement interval is active.
π‘οΈ Privacy-focused
Hotstar Ad Mute is designed to process detection locally in your browser.
The extension does not require an account and does not need a remote server for normal operation.
It does not intentionally collect or sell:
Browsing history
Watch history
Personal profiles
Advertising profiles
Viewing analytics
Optional diagnostic information is intended for troubleshooting and remains local to the extension.
β οΈ Compatibility
Advertisement detection depends on the information exposed by the supported Hotstar web player.
Streaming platforms can change their player, advertising system, or internal event structure at any time. Such changes may temporarily affect advertisement detection.
The extension is designed to fail safely. When it cannot confidently determine that an advertisement is playing, it avoids unnecessarily interfering with normal playback.
π Independent extension
Hotstar Ad Mute is an independent browser extension and is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by Hotstar, JioHotstar, or their respective owners.
Hotstar and JioHotstar are trademarks of their respective owners.
π Simple by design
Install it, open your live cricket stream, and keep watching.
Ads keep playing. Your audio doesn't have to.
