It is difficult to selectively mute the content that is making sound in google chrome. I have to locate the tab and then scroll up and down to find the content that is producing sound. It would be great if there exist a feature which will let me right click on the tab and say "Mute".
Is there any way to achieve this without using extensions?
Type this in Google Chrome's omnibox
chrome://flags/#enable-tab-audio-muting
You will see this listing
Enable tab audio muting UI control. Windows, Linux, Chrome OS
When enabled, the audio indicators in the tab strip double as tab audio mute controls. This also adds commands in the tab context menu for quickly muting multiple selected tabs. #enable-tab-audio-muting.
Click Enable link at the bottom of this. Restart Chrome to get this feature.
Note : This feature is supported in Google Chrome builds upwards of version 39
