#### Look Away to Pause Youtube - Experimental Chrome Extension

Chrome (v56+) has a new FaceDetector API which basically lets you detect faces in images easily, so what if we could pause Youtube when you look away or go for a sandwich 🥪?

## How to install

Download the Zip from this [release](https://github.com/Hemmingsson/Face-Pause/releases/tag/0.1), unzip it and load it as an unpacked extension in Chrome.

## Notice

- 🙀 I don’t trust my webcam and I have it covered, see this more as an experiment of Chromes new technology, than a product you'd use every day. 

- 🏴 To get the extension to work you’ll need to enable Chrome Experimental Features here: 


`chrome://flags#enable-experimental-web-platform-features`

- 💡If you’re in a dark setting it will probably be a bit buggy, as FaceDetector API is still not great in bad light. 

## Development

1. Clone the repository `git clone https://github.com/Hemmingsson/Face-Pause`

2. Run `npm install`
