@dark3001 Try this: Disable the Put inactive tabs on hold to save memory (the name is not literally that)option in settings.

if it doesn't work, open opera://discards and uncheck the Auto Discardable for the page you want to keep running.

@leocg Nope, doesn't work.
I've just turned off the "Snooze inactive tabs to save memory" and toggle off the "Auto Discardable".
Seems like it still pauses my page when minimized.

Goto the URL chrome://flags/#calculate-native-win-occlusion, disable the flag, and restart Opera to see if it helps.

Sorry, I'm a bit confused here, is that a Chrome setting? Does it affect Opera?

@dark3001 chrome there is more of a word than a name and it's a prefix/protocol used by all Chromium based browsers. They just replace the original name to avoid confusion.

So read it as opera://flags/#calculate-native-win-occlusion

By the way, that's a Chromium flag.

I need a solution to this issue too, kills me when I'm checking a video or playing games and I jump tabs or minimize, everything gets paused. Highly annoying.

You may hide it by clicking at the top three dots in video. I did this practice while working for entertainment.
