Rohan WA (ID: 00000048aebef991) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/30/2023 Works perfectly, default shortcuts are a bit awkward to remember but easy to change (chrome://extensions/shortcuts)

Martin Aston (ID: 000000356b921618) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/11/2022 Finally able to rewind or skip forward, I have not seen another PiP extension with these functionalities!

Owen (ID: 00000034899f0a69) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 07/16/2022 Might need to refresh tab before it works. You can change the keyboard shortcuts to control PiP at: chrome://extensions/shortcuts I've set it as follows on my Mac: PiP toggle ⌥P play/pause toggle ⌥K skip +10s ⌥L skip -10s ⌥J (Last three mirror Chrome YouTube keyboard shortcuts K, L, J. Shortcut ⌘/ on YouTube shows you all Chrome YouTube keyboard shortcuts.) Site access can be set to "On Click" and extension still works without needing to start it for each tab.
