Using the Page Visibility API

This page demonstrates the Page Visibility API.

The API can be used to check when a web page is visible or not.

If you minimise this page or move to another tab, JavaScript in the page detects a webkitvisibilitychange event. The video will stop playing and the page title will stop changing – and vice versa if you return to the page.

Please note: this example requires a browser such as Google Chrome that supports the Page Visibility API.
