Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. play video on Android Chrome (above URL or Youtube)
2. while video is playing switch chrome tabs. the video stops/pauses

What is the expected behavior?
video continues to play when tabs switched on Android Chrome, as videos continues to play on IOS Mac OS Chrome  or even Android Firefox

What went wrong?
video pauses when tab is switched in Chrome Android only

Did this work before? N/A 

Is it a problem with Flash or HTML5? N/A

Does this work in other browsers? Yes
