Chris Vydas (ID: 000000a1b7cc9ce4) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 06/21/2023 does what it say but cannot be resized to use defined size or position as it is very limited. Also, buggy software. Browser lost focus due to another app and i had to force close the browser just to restore the tab properly as it was completely unresponsive with a cut off obstructed view of the player the should have no longer been floating. Will search for a better alternative.
