Extension summary

Analyze keywords

In Chrome 70, Google enabled support for Picture-in-Picture mode (PiP), allowing users to pop videos out of their tab and float on top of everything. That was awesome and good for multi-tasking. However, for native PiP:

Websites that block right-click context menu not supported (Facebook, Netflix, almost any)
Need to manually enter/exit PiP mode for every single video But with this extension, you can fully experience how PiP makes your life easier.

Automatically enter PiP mode when switching to other tabs/windows
Automatically leave PiP mode when back to the video tab
Prioritize multiple videos and show the one that you need
Support any Window applications and any modern websites (Youtube, Facebook, Twitter, etc)
Support media keys (play/pause & prev/next track & etc) on your keyboard
Since v.0.2.0, added popup config for blacklisting web pages & domains (More and more)

Work on both Windows & macOS now! Highly-recommended for desktop, laptop, and tablet users, especially those who have a single monitor

Recent reviews

I would rate 5 stars if I could config the extension so that PiP only activates when switching tabs, not windows...

Works as a charm, not a single problem with it For those who are having some issues: If you switch to new tab, it will work, but as you go again, you have to stop and unstop the video/ go fullscreen for it to work when you switch to new tab again

Minor bugs, does the job.
