Optimize background video playback. Disable video tracks in Chrome when the video is played in the background to optimize performance. Just enable this flag on your Chromium flags section so that the video track doesn't use up resources when the tab is not active. You will still get audio and the video track with enable automatically when you switch to the video tab again.

This will reduce bandwdith usage and also CPU processing as video takes quite a bit of processing and bandwidth to load and stream.

The flag is:
chrome://flags/#disable-background-video-track

Enjoy audio from videos without the extra processing. :D
