> The Web Locks API allows scripts running in one tab or worker to asynchronously acquire a lock, hold it while work is performed, then release it. While held, no other script executing in the same origin can acquire the same lock, *which allows a web app running in multiple tabs or workers to coordinate work and the use of resources.*

I read that, but how can that API be used to notify the original tab to stop playing?
It has the ability to "steal" lock from another tab. Once tab loses a lock, it can pause the playback.
