Video Popout

Pop-out and load any video element to a floating window.

What is Video Popout?

'Video Popout' is a chrome extension that lets users pop out videos from their active tab into a separate, floating window. This window stays active even if you change the active tab. The pop-out function comes handy when multitasking and wanting the video to stay on top of other windows. Note, to pop out videos, they must be playing first. Closing the tab containing the video also closes the floating window. This extension uses the 'picture-in-picture' JavaScript API.

Summary

Analyze keywords

Video Popout is an extension that lets you easily detach the active video in a tab and load it in a small and floating popup outside of the current window.

The floating window remains active even if you change the active tab. Please note that if you close the tab that contains the video, the floating popup window will be closed as well. This addon uses the new JavaScript API called "picture-in-picture". It currently works in all modern browsers. It is important to note that, the floating window will stay on top of other windows.

Note: please play the video first and then click on the toolbar button to make it pop-out. A paused or stopped video element, will not respond to the pop-out request.

If you have a feature request or found a bug to report, please fill the bug report form on the addon's homepage (https://mybrowseraddon.com/video-popout.html).

Stupid extension that break rendering of oher application in Ubuntu 22. Destroyed my nerves trying to resolve issues with flickering Intellij and terminal by reinstalling drivers and changing settings and it turned out that it's this stupid extension

Artificial Wonder, 2024-04-08

Works great. Needs a way to disable the notification when a video is popped up. It's annoying.

Yo Mama Mate, 2021-10-04

Amazing, works on even anime sites, but a major drawback when you want to play a game in fullscreen it doesn't work. A fix to this would be very useful
