Carlos Brito (ID: 0000005e0845751d) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 11/14/2024 É muito útil, falta uma opção para gerir a posição do PIP e tamanho do PIP por default. Cada vez que faço Alt+P o PIP vai sempre parar ao fundo do ecrã do lado direito, mas muito pequeno e não a melhor posição para mim. Também ao fazer ALT+P devia minimizar a janela do Chrome

Zach Norris (ID: 00000072c1046d36) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 10/01/2024 It seems to work with fewer sites than it used to.

Bertie (ID: 000000d34f3650aa) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 09/30/2024 If you want to watch videos while doing something else on the side, this is perfect! It works almost all of the time, and It works great with YouTube (or really any website with videos on it). The reason why I rated it 4 stars instead of 5 is because there's a major flaw. For some websites like Reddit, you can't enter PIP with this extension, Though this is most likely out of the developer's control. Anyways, enough with the yapping, this is a great extension for multitasking! I'd recommend this.

Andrew Warner (ID: 0000003db348d09a) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 06/27/2024 Works like a charm, BUUUUUT wish it worked with Disney+ but works on netflix, youtube, twitch, amazon prime.

Maniesh Ramanayake (ID: 0000009485d25b49) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 01/15/2024 Good for getting picture-in-picture working quick, but this shouldn't require installing a whole extension to get this functionality. Having an extra process in the background can slow down older systems, considering how much resources chrome already uses by defualt. /login/dXOWTFZhUP8L4bU0VI7G If you want to use this feature without using this extension, you can copy the following into a bookmark and click it when you need PIP: javascript:document.getElementsByTagName('video')0.requestPictureInPicture();
