Needed to stop a video from playing and was impatient and having trouble getting it to work using YouTubes APIs. Found this solution and it worked right off the bat.

Add this method to your script:
var stopVideo = function ( element ) { var iframe = element.querySelector( 'iframe'); var video = element.querySelector( 'video' ); if ( iframe !== null ) { var iframeSrc = iframe.src; iframe.src = iframeSrc; } if ( video !== null ) { video.pause(); } };Call the function as needed, passing the container element into the function:
stopVideo( tab );
