Video Popout Extension

Video Popout is an extension that lets you easily detach the active video in a tab and load it in a small and floating popup outside of the current window.

The floating window remains active even if you change the active tab. Please note that if you close the tab that contains the video, the floating popup window will be closed as well. This addon uses the new JavaScript API called \"picture-in-picture\". It currently works in all modern browsers. It is important to note that, the floating window will stay on top of other windows.

Note: please play the video first and then click on the toolbar button to make it pop out. A paused or stopped video element, will not respond to the pop-out request. To change this behavior, please visit the extension options page and adjust the settings.

If you have a feature request or found a bug to report, please fill out the bug report form on the addon's homepage (https://mybrowseraddon.com/video-popout.html).
