Want to watch Youtube videos and take notes on the video at the same time using Google Docs? Ever had a class project where you needed to work with your classmates and take notes while watching a Khan Academy video?

This isnt possible if you use the current "picture-in-picture" feature which is available on Youtube's website. The Youtube Mini Player is not able to be dragged and dropped to a different browser tab.

Install Floating Player for Youtube™ Videos today and you can begin to drag the minified Youtube Video Player to another browser tab such as Google Docs so that you can take notes in real time while you are watching the Video.

The best thing about this extension besides being free is we support Google Docs! So your classmates can also help you with note taking while both of you watch the video. Get the best set of notes now as multiple students help work on a common set of notes today inside Google Docs.
