Background Mode: Master switch to keep Instagram Reels playing continuously when switching tabs. 2. Auto Resume: Automatically resumes video playback if a video gets paused unexpectedly. 3. Auto Unmute: Automatically enables sound for incoming Reels so you don't have to manually click to unmute every time. 4. Force Mute Audio: Quickly force-mute background video audio with a single toggle when you need silence without closing your tab. 5. One-Click Refresh: Instantly reload your active Reel page directly from the extension popup. 🚀 How It Works --> Click Add to Chrome to install the extension. --> Pin Reel Background Player to your Chrome toolbar. --> Open Instagram Reels and toggle Background Mode ON in the popup. --> Switch to any tab and your Reels will keep playing effortlessly! 🔒 Privacy & Performance We respect your privacy.
