Respect Pausing on Raid or Stream Start in background tabs
Please respect my decision to pause (i.e. stop) a stream, even if a new one starts on the same site or the streamer decides to initiate a raid.
This also applies to tabs left open after a stream ends, as a new stream may automatically start playing in one of the countless tabs I have open in my browser. This usually happens on a channel where I’m a moderator, and I tend to keep the mod view open at all times. Then I find myself wondering where the music is coming from when a stream suddenly starts.
A sane default would be to either start new streams muted or not play them at all if the tab is inactive.
It would also make sense to just not join a raid after I paused the stream, as https://twitch.uservoice.com/forums/923368-video-features/suggestions/44387589-stay-on-current-stream-when-a-raid-is-initiated-wh suggested.
Thanks :)
