I’ve always just run it in a separate tab and never had a problem.
I’ve never had a problem running it muted…but come to think of it, maybe I muted the tab in the browser and not the actual video player. I can’t remember now.
You can mute it, just mute the tab. If you mute the player itself that can sometimes cause issues. You don’t want to discover that you’ve had junk on all day and not gotten credit.
Speaking of which, check it every now and then to make sure it doesn’t freeze up while it’s out of sight.
Or, that the streamer hadn’t logged off and now you are giving views to a hot tub.
And just for the record, I’m doing an ESO drop and it’s progressing fine with the player muted.

That makes me feel so old.
We need another thread to explain this thread to me.

Not sure where to put this, but these guys still stream on twitch I think. I know the Neebs gaming folks originally from youtube with their Battlefield Friends, and Battleloggers series. Then later on their Doraleous & Associates cartoon. Thick44 did the Sir Walken voice for Doraleous & Associates.
Now, he’s trying something new. He’s the founder and owner of Disguised (DSG), a Valorant team playing in the North American Challengers League. Polygon talked with Disguised Toast over Zoom about why streamers are expanding their presence outside of livestreaming, the challenge of starting an esports team, and why he would consider gambling sponsorships even after the Twitch controversy.
Disguised Toast told Polygon that he was surprised by how unprofitable esports is. “I had heard about it, but I didn’t really understand it until I dove into the nitty-gritty of things.” He said that he’s prepared to lose “like a million bucks” in the venture over the next two years, but that he would reassess after that. For now, he’s looking to make the venture more profitable — even if it means raising money in controversial ways.
“These streamers have the disposable income and they get fat stacks to gamble. I don’t think you guys comprehend how much these gamba streamers are getting paid.” Fast forward to September 2022, and a group of major streamers, including OfflineTV co-founder Pokimane, called on Twitch to ban gambling streams.
Polygon asked why the streamer would be open to a gambling sponsorship. “I’m someone who always says, like, never say never,” he told Polygon, calling out the hypocrisy in the industry. “I think a lot of streamers like to be on high horses like, Yeah, I’ll never do X, Y, Z , and then they later do X, Y, and Z, because the money’s good.”
“I’m very used to just bantering with people and being on the same level. I would like to do that but what I’m realizing is, when you work with younger talent, they kind of look to you to have your shit together to have an idea of what’s happening next. And truthfully, sometimes I have no idea what’s gonna happen next. But you have to almost act the part. That’s been an adjustment. So essentially, I have to act more mature, even though inside, I’m still pretty troll and I like to joke around. I mean, I play video games for a living. I’m not that mature. That’s an adjustment.”
I understood some of these words.
I feel like I would probably be able to take this more seriously if the article didn’t use “Disguised Toast” like it was his actual name.
The answer is money, right?

Yep, money. Not like it was a hard case to crack.
Well, in fairness, most journalism about the musician Prince never referred to him as “Mr. Nelson”.
They might have if he used a stage name like Disguised Toast.

And yet here you are on an internet message board using (I assume) a “stage name” and asking us to take you seriously.
Your aversion to people using their handles is a you problem.
I am not.
I never suggested otherwise.
