Using Keyboard Media Keys with Multiple Chrome Profiles












1















My Logitech keyboard has a play/pause hotkey (among others). It used to work fine; it would pause or unpause anything from Google Play Music using the Chrome browser. By the way, I never did any setup to make it work; it has done that since I first connected the keyboard.



I recently added a second profile to my Chrome browser so that I could have separate accounts for personal and business use on the same computer. Once I did that, the play/pause button stopped working.



That's the only button that doesn't work, though. The keyboard also has an email hotkey, and when I press it, it opens up a new tab on whatever browser window I last used. The email button isn't confused by the multiple accounts thing. But the play/pause button is.



Does anyone know how I can fix this? Thanks in advance.
