    Can I add a play/pause button to my keyboard?


    My laptop doesn't bring a play/pause button, but the f7 key is not assigned to do anything, so i was wondering if I could rasign the f7 to be a play/pause button.

    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

    Play/Pause button on Microsoft Wired 600 keyboard gives priority to only YouTube videos

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    I understand that the play/pause button on the keyboard is prioritizing only YouTube videos when it is pressed.
    For further clarity on the issue and to guide you accordingly, respond to the questions listed below:



    1. Are you aware of any changes being made to the PC before which you were facing this issue?
    2. Is the issue specific to only one browser or all the browsers?
    3. What happens when only Windows Media Player is running?
    4. Have you installed any keyboard modifier?


    I suggest try updating the keyboard drivers and check if that helps. Refer the article to

    Update drivers in Windows 10    .



    Please get back to us with the required information to assist you further with the issue.



    We await your response.
