YouTube Popout Player
Provides simple ways to open any YouTube video or playlist in a configurable popout window
Overview
This extension provides a simple way to open any YouTube video (including videos embedded in other sites/pages) in a "popout" window which you can freely position and resize.
Usage
When viewing any YouTube video, whether directly YouTube, or embedded on any other website, you can either:
- Right-click on the video and click the "Popout Player" option (at the bottom of the menu that is displayed)
- Click the popout player icon (a square with a smaller square coming out of the top right corner), which can be found in the lower right corner of the video (by the settings and fullscreen icons)
- Use the keyboard shortcuts (default CTRL + Up Arrow )
- Right-click on any link/thumbnail to a YouTube video or playlist, and use the "Open Video in Popout Player" or "Open Playlist in Popout Player" menu options. This works on any website as long as the link goes to YouTube.

100/10 - this combined with MS PowerToys to make the window always on top of others chefs kiss
Works as intended
Great extension, what I was always looking for. The real popout window. The only problem: recently stopped working (always says "video unavailable").
practically useless. Since u enabled popup to do something that covers the entire screen and u need a video to watch while doing it, but this app needs focus at all times, so basically the popup goes behind if you do other things that covers the entire screen, making the pop up useless. i can simply make a new window and open youtube in it, it will do the same trick. Pretty stupid extension to have honestly.
As for 5/8/2025, the addon stopped working. Now the window shows a "video unavailable" in every video.

what's the reason for this extension when you can't have it always on top... also there is no setting to make it on top... thanks for nothing
it does technically work but its kind of useless as you cant actually resize it so it just covers most of your screen anyway
Works as intended, people complaining about it not working are having skill issues
Opens up a new window
Does exactly what i want it to
Does exactly what I need it to. People complaining about it's features seem to have a skill issue and do not appear to understand them or how to tweak the performance. Windows pop out on top, are easy to resize and reposition, and the default behavior of all it is simple to change.
Perfect way to play two audio streams on a Chromebook.
Not good , it open new browser window , its look old like window 7
that's good and workingšš
It simply opens the video in a new full screen window and it doesn't even maintain the play position. This is not a real picture in picture experience.
everything I wanted and more.. just wish there was a playback speed in the taskbar rather than going through options
working nicely
not working
Use this extension to pop the video out, and then use PowerToys' "always on top" to make sure the popped out video is always on top.
the whole point of a pop out is for it to stay on top of other programs. this doesnt.
I use this for audiobooks, podcasts and other long listenable videos. Makes it more convenient to watch and listen while doing some other work.
for some reason this was activating youtube's anti adblocker system. might just be me. also, you can right click a video twice and use a built in 'picture in picture' system that actually stays pinned to the top
just need to stay pinned to the top
Useless, it doesn't stay pinned to the top...
I use it to display subtitles, a feature that the picture-in-picture extension cannot do. If you want to keep it at the top, on Windows, try PowerToys.
works great
if only there is "Always on Top" option
Thank you this is so good. and would be better if you can hide the window frame where there is close and minimize button or make it appear on hover. thank you
You can use powertoys to pin the windows, and please add autoplay next video feature, thanks
Serves my purpose. What is important for me is the double-click to go to full screen. It works like a charm.
The idea is good, IF the video is only open by this extension, not double. Search the whole setting, no found set for that.
Does what it ways, but it lacks the option to make the pop-out window stay on top of other windows, which I presume is the reason most people would use this extension...

Does what it says it does. Opens a popout window with only the video in it (please note it's a typical 'pop-out window' with only a title bar, no address bar or other browser functions and buttons).

Great pop out window or tab which can be resized and has subtitles / fast forward / speed - the usual youtube controls Unfortunately I can't install power toys so I won't be able to use this extension to keep the video window on top of my browser or any other window.

i use this and combined it with always on top from powertoys, it works very good! one small suggestion from me would be if i can use youtube playlist shuffle button would be great. because sometimes i would like to randomize my playlist, but moving it one by one is pain, and youtube doesn't provide randomize playlist button.
Not a popout player. Just launches a new window that only contains the player. Cannot overlay windows. You can only place it next to other Windows just like before.
