Floating Pic-in-Pic (PiP) video with useful shortcuts.

Download

Install Compare

Quick Picture-in-Picture Video is a Chrome extension that enables you to watch videos in a small, always-on-top floating window (PiP) while you work on other tasks. Unlike standard PiP modes which stop playing videos when you navigate away, this extension offers a clever shortcut (Alt+O) to duplicate your current tab. This ensures continuous video playback without disrupting your browsing.

Key features include intuitive keyboard shortcuts: Alt+P activates the PiP window, Alt+Shift+P toggles play/pause, and Alt+O opens a duplicate tab to keep the video playing. The PiP window is resizable and designed to be memory-efficient with a non-persistent background, making it ideal for multitasking users who want to watch content seamlessly without interrupting their workflow.

User reviews

Users appreciate the add-on's ease of use, practical functionality, and support for videos that usually do not allow picture-in-picture mode. It is praised for respecting privacy and having lightweight, open-source qualities. However, multiple users report issues resizing the PiP window, leading to the video sliding off screen, and unreliable performance on platforms such as Netflix and Disney+. Additionally, some mention sudden zoom problems obstructing the full view of videos.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Quick Picture-in-Picture Video requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
