Windows 10: Can Cortana pause/play now playing on windows 10?

I'm trying to follow along with youtube tutorials hands-free but there doesn't seem to be a way to get Cortana to pause and play them for me. I have a dedicated pause/play button on my keyboard that seems to work fine across any number of apps, but I can't seem to find anything online on how to do that with Cortana.

Cortana doesn't 'play my music'

Hi Andrew,

You can try some of these commands using Cortana to play music:

• Play music.
• Play <genre>
• Play <artist>
• Play <album>
• Pause the music.
• Resume music.
• Shuffle the music.
• Play next track.
• Play previous track.
• Play <playlist>
• What is playing?

Regards.

 

VIDEO PAUSE PLAY AUTOMATICALLY

Video pause and play automatically only when I use an internal (Youtube, google) or 3rd party software (windows media player, VLC, films &TVs ).

It happens only when I am playing a video or audio.

it also happens when the window is minimized.

No virus (after scan)

issues in Windows 10

the window also very lag when it happening and sometimes cursor paused.

Driver issues? Which driver is it? Any suggestions or experiences? Please share your thoughts.

 

Play/Pause button on keyboard

Hello,

Since my last Windows 10 Update on the 11th of April the function Play/Pause button on my keyboard has changed. Before the update, it used to only play or pause the music being played on Windows Media Player or MPC-HC and had no effect whatsoever on Youtube
or Facebook videos being played in the Internet browser. Since the update, YT and FB video even have the priority, i.e. the Play/Pause button only effects the videos when there any open and only plays/pauses music in WMP or MPC HC when there are no videos
open in browser. Is there a way to get stuff the way they were before update?

Thanks in advance,

Sari
