Media Booster

Increase the audio output of one browser tab and manage authorized media tabs from a single interface.

How Media Booster Works

Media Booster increases the audio output of an individual browser tab. It works one tab at a time so you choose exactly which tab to boost.

For example you can boost a YouTube video without applying the same boost to every other browser tab.

Boost Audio on the Current Tab

Open the Tab You Want to Boost

Open YouTube and the video you want to watch. Keep it open in the browser tab you want to boost. The same process works on other supported websites.

Open Media Booster

Select the SkipZS extension icon in the top right corner of Chrome and open Features. You can also use Alt and N.

Select Media Booster. The interface will open for the selected tab.

Start Boosting

Select Start Boosting Audio and adjust the Boost Level to your preference.

Increasing the level raises the selected tab audio. Choose a comfortable level that does not distort the sound.

Control Different Browser Tabs

Media Booster can manage supported tabs such as YouTube Spotify and Apple Music from one interface.

Media Booster controls one tab at a time.

  1. Open the tab you want to control.
  2. Select the SkipZS extension icon.
