Volume Control For Chrome In Windows 10 Volume On

It was the Windows 10 volume on-screen display (OSD), except 10 times bigger than before.

Now, there is a new, huge right panel which has media control keys (back, playpause, forward) and the not very friendly text chrome.exe.

Evidently, this behavior is a new feature in the latest Chrome browser.

When you play media (audio or video like YouTube) in the Chrome browser, Chrome will add its media control panel to the volume OSD.

That media control panel will appear in the volume OSD until you quit Chrome.

On the Edge browser, you can access the experimental hidden settings by browsing to chrome:flags or edge:flags.

You will need to search for a third-party script or utility to prevent the display of the volume OSD.

Perhaps it is but have work to do and needed a way to remove the annoying popup.

I cant find the source right now, but I read some post from a Chromium or Brave dev who said that Win 10 now automatically displays the huge panel if you flag your program as a media player and if you dont, then the media keys wont work anymore.

Its just an eitheror option in Windows 10, the Chrome devs cant do anything about it.

It wouldnt be bad if it disappeared after 1 second, but it stays planted firmly in your face the whole time media is detected in one of your tabs.

To make it worse, I use 150 UI scaling for my TV and it makes the OSD friggin enormous taking up a significant portion of the screen when watching youtube videos etc.

I find it interesting that the media keys still work on some sites like Curiosity Stream after disabling the setting but not on others like Netflix and YouTube.

There obviously isnt a way in Windows 10 anymore to have the media key function without the large OSD, Chrome devs cant do anything about it.

It is understandable though that they wont disable media keys by default.

A quick search shows that there are 3rd party scripts to disable the OSD, but I havent tried it yet.

Maybe double-check the disabled setting, then manually quit Chrome and start it Might want to reboot the computer too.

I do hope they will face a lot of trials with the customers around the world forcing them to move from Win 7 to Win 10.

To get rid of the large pop-up, we have to lose the keyboard functions.

When I find a solution without that downside, I will update this post.
