Any way to stop the Spotify player (embed) when the user scrolls the website page?

[ecinelli]

Does anyone know of a way to stop the Spotify player (embed) when the user scrolls the website page? 

We have this code working now:

// Get a reference to the embed iframe element
const spotifyEmbedWindow = document.querySelector('iframe[src*="spotify.com/embed"]').contentWindow;

spotifyEmbedWindow.postMessage({command: 'toggle'}, '*');

However, if the user has manually paused the player, it will start to play when the user scrolls. 

Is there a way to fully STOP or PAUSE the music instead of TOGGLING?

Any help here is appreciated.

Hi Erica,

I'm an engineer working on the Spotify embed player and we have now added "pause" command to the iframe API.

Please try the following code and let us know if it works

spotifyEmbedWindow.postMessage({command: 'pause'}, '*');

Thanks I tried toggle and it works! Is there a full list of the commands that can be used with postMessage?
