A simple floating video player using Picture-In-Picture with direct integrations to YouTube, Twitch, Netflix, and more!
Enhanced Floating Video Player (PIP) Extension
Very helpful for people with one monitor, or if you need to do something while watching a tutorial, livestreams, movies, etc.
### How To ###
There are 2 ways:
First way: On YouTube, Netflix and Twitch, there will be a \"PIP\" button in the media player bar when hovering on it. This button will allow you to watch content on top of other windows.
Second way: Simply click on the extension icon at the top right of your browser. It will by default select the first available video on your current page.
### The Future ###
We plan on integrating the PIP button for many other sites. For now, sites with the PIP buttons are (but not limited to, if you use the extension icon), YouTube, Netflix and Twitch. The extension and user interface is subject to change, however, not the functionalities.
### Troubleshooting ###
Might not work on Chrome 70 versions or lower. Try updating your browser.
