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

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).
