      I think there is a small bug in Tab Snoozing. Here are the steps to reproduce.

      1. Navigate to any video on YouTube. Play it for a few minutes. Then pause it.
      2. Go to some other tab.
      3. Go to some other application also.
      4. (2) and (3) are to ensure that after a few minutes the inactive tabs are snoozed by Opera to conserve resources.
      5. Now when after the tabs are snoozed try to go to the tab containing Youtube. The video starts to play when Opera unsnoozes it. Ideally the tab should the video in the paused state.

        @lavanyadeepak-0 I guess that tab snoozing gets more than a few minutes to start working.

          @leocg Did not get your tip. When the tab is snoozed and as your enter it Opera will show a message that it was snoozed to save memory. Simultaneously I guess it is woken up to the previous state. That is where it looks there is a conflict with Youtube's Pause state.

            @lavanyadeepak-0 How is the behavior in other Chromium based browsers?

              @leocg I regret for the delay in response. Isn't #TabSnoozing specific to Opera right? Haven't been using Chrome for a while. Will try anyway and update you.

                @lavanyadeepak-0 In Chrome, open a Youtube video and pause it. Then, open a new tab and goto the URL chrome://discards and click "urgent discard" for the Youtube tab. Then, focus the Youtube tab.
