FloatPlay Extension

FloatPlay is a lightweight Chrome extension designed to enhance your YouTube viewing experience by enabling seamless Picture-in-Picture (PiP) mode. Whether you're multitasking or just want to keep an eye on a video while working on something else, FloatPlay makes it easy to pop out your YouTube video into a floating, resizable window that stays on top of all other windows.

Key Features:
Toggle PiP Mode: Quickly switch any YouTube video to Picture-in-Picture with a single click.
Floating, Resizable Window: The video stays on top of all other windows, and you can resize or move it as needed while using other apps or browsing.
Easy Access: A simple, intuitive button is added directly to your YouTube player controls for fast access to PiP mode.
Minimalist Design: FloatPlay integrates smoothly with YouTube’s interface, keeping the focus on your content without unnecessary clutter.

How It Works:
Install the FloatPlay extension from the Chrome Web Store.
Navigate to any YouTube video.
Click the FloatPlay icon or the new PiP button added to your video player.
Your video will instantly pop out into a small, movable window, allowing you to multitask while still watching.
Why Use FloatPlay?
FloatPlay is perfect for people who like to watch YouTube while working, browsing, or managing other tasks. It gives you control over your viewing experience without needing to switch tabs or minimize windows constantly.

Coming Soon:
Support for More Video Platforms: Soon, FloatPlay will expand its functionality beyond YouTube, offering PiP for a wide variety of video streaming platforms.
Customizable Shortcuts: In the next update, you'll be able to set your own keyboard shortcuts for toggling PiP mode.
How to Get Started:
Step 1: Download FloatPlay from the Chrome Web Store.
Step 2: Pin the extension to your Chrome toolbar for quick access.
Step 3: Start enjoying floating videos while you work or play!
