  • It works for all known video sites such as YouTube, Vimeo, Dailymotion, Hulu, Metacafe, YouKu, etc
  • if only it works for other sites than video sharing websites, it will be good

If it can not detect the video on that website. Try to enable the "Flash Detection" feature in the Turn Off the Lights Options page - Advanced Options tab. And disable the other browser extensions you are using one by one except Turn Off the Lights. That must solve this problem.

If you need any help, don't hesitate to contact us on this support page: https://www.turnoffthelights.com/support

Thanks,
