If you’re having issues with your keyboard media keys not working in desktop apps when the Chrome browser is running, this post is for you.
There is simple, but not-obvious way to stop Chrome ‘stealing’ your media keys when the browser is open. You don’t need to download or install anything, and the trick works on Windows, maOS and Linux systems alike. https://mzneot.weebly.com/is-spotify-safe-for-mac.html.
Google Chrome’s hardware media key handling feature (to give it its full name) is pretty handy, especially if you use streaming sites like Spotify Web, Netflix, BBC iPlayer, etc frequently.
How do you download music from spotify to your iphone 11. But it’s also pretty annoying when you press pause/play/next/previous buttons to skip a track in a desktop app like iTunes, only for nothing to happen at all.
Although this “feature” is enabled by default you can disable it, and here’s how.
Disable Chrome’s Hardware Media Key Feature
Why Is The Spotify Application Not Responding
Google Chrome supports keyboard media keys and the feature is undoubtedly helpful for most.
What spoils things is the fact Chrome “listens” to your media keys all the time that the browser is open. This happens regardless of whether you have the app in focus or running in the background.
And this is precisely where the annoyance creeps in. You only want desktop apps to respond to keyboard media key presses, not your web browser.
Thankfully there is a simple, built-in way to disable the feature if this behaviour isn’t one you want.
To stop Chrome being able to intercept your media keyboard shortcut do the following:
- Open a new Chrome tab
- Visit
chrome://flags/#hardware-media-key-handling
- Select ‘Disabled’ from the menu on the right of the page
- Relaunch Chrome as prompted
That’s it!
You will now find that Chrome no longer responds to your keyboard’s media keys on ANY website that usually supports them, e.g., Spotify Web.
If you decide you want the ability back you can repeat the steps above but this time select the “Enabled” option instead of “Disabled“.
In summary: Download video from spotify.
- Websites in Chrome can respond to keyboard media keys
- Websites can respond even when Chrome isn’t ‘in focus’
- The feature can impact on regular desktop apps
- You can disable the feature via the
chrome://flags
page
Hello lindzthecreator,
Spotify Mac Media Keys Not Working
I suggest this part of the article named One or more keys on the keyboard do not respond found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1381

Some keys don't work as expected
- From the Apple menu, choose System Preferences.
- From the View menu, choose Speech.
- Click the Text to Speech tab.
- If 'Speak selected text when the key is pressed' is enabled, the key or key combination set to speak text cannot be used for other purposes or used to type text--click Set Key and change it to a less-commonly used key combination (try to use modifier keys such as Shift, Command, Option, and Control). Or, disable the 'Speak selected text when the key is pressed' option.
- Click the Universal Access pane in System Preferences, click the Keyboard tab.
- Make sure that Slow Keys is turned off. With Slow Keys on, you need to press a key for a longer period of time for it to be recognized.
- In the Universal Access pane, click the Mouse tab, and make sure Mouse Keys is turned off. With Mouse Keys enabled, you cannot use the Numeric Keypad to enter numbers--instead the keypad moves the pointer (cursor). (There is an option to enable Mouse Keys with five presses of the Option key; you may want to turn that option off to avoid accidentally enabling it.) If Mouse Keys is enabled and you are using a keyboard with no numeric keypad or Num Lock function, see Unable to type while Mouse Keys is enabled in Mac OS X.
- If the function keys on the top row of the keyboard are not working as expected, see Mac OS X: How to change the behavior of function keys.
- If the issue persists, use Keyboard Viewer to help isolate the issue:
- Click the Language & Text pane (Mac OS X v10.6) or International pane (Mac OS X v10.5.8 or earlier) in System Preferences.
- Click the Input Sources tab (or Input Menu tab in Mac OS X 10.5.8 or earlier).
- Click the Keyboard & Character Viewer 'On' checkbox to select it (click the Keyboard Viewer 'On' checkbox in Mac OS X 10.5.8 or earlier).
- From the Input (flag) menu, choose Show Keyboard Viewer.
- If the keyboard is connected and detected by Mac OS X, the keys you type will highlight in the Keyboard Viewer window. Open TextEdit (or any text application), and try to type something using the keys that were previously not responding to see if they highlight in Keyboard Viewer.
- Start from the Mac OS X Install Disc, choose Terminal from the Utilities menu and test the keys which were previously not working. If the keys work while started from the Install disc, then the keyboard itself is working correctly. Use Mac OS X: How to troubleshoot a software issue to isolate the software issue that may be causing the keys to not respond.
No sound from mac mini.
