Floating Video with Playback Controls Extension

Picture in Picture supports the video player on various platforms and sites. This mode allows you to watch videos in a floating window so you can keep track of what you are watching while interacting with other sites or applications.

Open the YouTube video on the mini-player in floating image-in-picture (PiP) mode. This window will play videos on all pages of the browser.

How Picture in Picture works:

- Find the video and run it.
- Select the “Floating Picture in Picture” (PiP) mode, and you're done.

There is one thing worth noting: while you can freely browse other sites while playing a video in a pop-up window, you should keep the original tab open. Floating picture-in-picture is a powerful tool for watching videos on a mini-video player for all sites.

The Picture in Picture floating panel is a lightweight addon that gives you access to videos on the entire site with one click. A floating panel for all is an extension that is developed and maintained independently. A floating panel for everyone simply makes it easier to access PiP videos for all video sites.

Floating Picture in Picture (PiP) for YouTube™ respects your privacy.

P.S.: YouTube is a trademark of Google Inc. Use of this trademark is subject to Google permissions. The floating image mode in Picture mode (PiP) for YouTube ™ is not created, is not associated with Google Inc., or is not supported.

eThax Kew (ID: 0000002104bb373f) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 11/04/2023 this update killed of the support for videos floating on the page to go pip, sad

icon

Nicole Ahmed (ID: 000000a5eb87142e) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 11/01/2023 Requests access to all sites and then alters pages. I also saw changes to answers.microsoft.com I had odd and multiple ads injected into youtube the media control actually worked for me, but only in browser windows. So though the video stayed on top if I switched windows, the media controls did not. In order to display the media controls the extension requests access to every site, so once I changed access to "on click only" the media controls stopped too. Don't use this. Or download an older version before peoples complaints started. There are lots of other alternatives on the store.

André (Blackgate) (ID: 000000bf91c98faf) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/15/2023 Funcionava muito bem. Depois da atualização de código na página do YT parou de funcionar. Vou esperar ser fixado. É o melhor PIP que já usei.

Yoni Sade (ID: 000000d7cd1e39f6) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 10/02/2023 While this extension does play videos in a mini window, it interrupts the activity of certain websites/extensions such as LastPass autofill and Microsoft Community. For example, this page doesn't show user posts/comments while the extension is enabled: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/i-have-tried-almost-everything-to-fix-error/7c70c77a-0689-4e00-881e-46b0c42c25ff I contacted the developer directly over email about this issue a month ago but got no answer...

Derian De Grey (ID: 0000006add3c0049) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 09/10/2023 We need a lot more options in the extension settings. 1 - Option to move the video control to the floating player itself, not to a separate bar as it is now. In general, it's wildly strange that the control is made in a separate bar somewhere on the web page, and not just in the floating window itself. 2 - More precise adjustment of the position of the floating player. For example, I get annoyed with the indents from the edge of the screen. I'd like to remove them in the extension settings. But I can't. Because you've forbidden me to do so. 3 - It would be desirable to make the button to launch the floating window right over the video itself on the web page. A great example of a floating player made natively in Yandex Browser.
