First release.

Keeps Instagram videos and reels playing when you switch tabs or windows, and keeps automatic picture-in-picture live instead of frozen.

How it works:

  • Spoofs the Page Visibility API so Instagram always sees the tab as visible
  • Intercepts the visibility and focus-loss events before Instagram's listeners can react
  • Drops programmatic pause() calls while the tab is genuinely backgrounded, so your own pauses keep working

Install: click instagram-background-play.user.js with a userscript manager installed (Tampermonkey, Violentmonkey, or Userscripts on Safari). Updates are picked up automatically.
