javascript:document.getElementsByTagName('video')[0].requestPictureInPicture();

It was okay but now it stopped working not a single output is generated and not even show what is the fault what should I do ??
it's a amazing extension but It's not working anymore. please do something?
I used to love it very much. However, it stop working recently. It only work when I click on the YouTube native ''miniplayer'' first (and click on the app). Hope it can be fixed soon.
Cara melhor extenção a unica que funciona perfeitamente no i3wm :).
Excelente!
It just stopped working with youtube
good job! love it
Works very well.
Could you add a feature to zoom the video?
so good thank you for good app. ^___^;
This is by far the best floating player for youtube I have used. No sure why it stopped poping up as usual when I click to toolbar icon recently. It can still work properly if I click the miniplayer first, then click floating player. It will pop up floating as usual.
Ele funciona bem!!
Works good, I haven't came across ant issues!! Im so glad something like this exists Edit: as of 1/9/22 the extension doesn't work until you refresh the page (when you click it from youtube the 1st time it doesn't work until you refresh [even queues]) Edit: 1/13/22 I am saddened to say that the new google chrome update now has this (well on mine it does) Though I have not tested this with other sites than youtube so its still good for twitch and others!!
just rating it like this for now, i think its bugging for me right now? ive reinstalled it and restarted my computer but its not working, all my other plugins are fine. i dont know where to report this
HUGE THANKS OMG CHAANGE MY LIFE THX
Solo basta con instalar, anclar la extension a la barra y darle click en la pestaña del video que se quiera ver.
It actually works! autoplay works great with it too. havent tried playlists but if autoplay works, playlists works
Exactly what I was looking for
Por aqui não funcionou. A imagem apareceu, mas o som não foi reproduzido, além de que em determinado momento, a reprodução só parou e não voltou mais
love this extension. it works
En realidad, llevo AÑOS usandolo, y me sorprende que solo tenga pocas reviews ya que se merece tener de todos quienes la usan las 5 estrellas, es buena y NUNCA he tenido fallos con YouTube e incluso otros videos como películas y Facebook.
i love u
works very well!
it works, i can watch yt while doing something else outside the yt tab, will be great if there's video playback on bottom of it hovering
As another person said, really good job making this .
Perfeito! Já deveria ser função nativa do Google Chrome!
Funcionou perfeitamente
It works
Works perfectly, great for watching videos while multitasking
My go to for video use but now it doesn't work in YouTube for playlists anymore. Oh well.
Works perfectly! Furthermore, it ALSO works with other similar websites, like Twitch! This is SO good for a multitasker like me. Thank you!
works ty
This tool is exactly what I needed. I had switched to Opera for this, but I missed Chrome so much because of the way it looks. So I installed this extension, and it works as good as that! In fact, I'm using it right now while writing this review, and I love this extension. Just a couple of things missing though: one can only pause the video from the pop-up and nothing else. At least the video progress bar is a necessity for this extension, and I hope to see it in any future updates. Other than that, this is all you could've wished for in a picture-in-picture extension: lossless audio and video, support for pause and play, can be played even with Chrome minimized, and just about everything else.
literally just what u want. this simple thing has impressed me widely. i am amazed in its utilisation applications. more people should get this extension. works on many sites too.
Não abre
Muito util e funciona bem, super simples de usar. Recomendo pro desenvolvedor que adicione a opção de avançar o video no player que hoje nao esta disponível. Temos que retornar na pagina do youtube pra avançar o video.
cade o botao de baxar
Good work! But It auto rotates the video so that it opens the Portrait video as Landscape on some video sites. i.e. https://mixch.tv/ I hope I can switch it back to Portrait.
5/5 Program działa prawidłowo. Jak dla mnie super przydatny Polecam
Works great for Twitch!
Does its job, i just wish the subtitles would still work when its on small screen. I couldnt read subtitles to the anime im watching which are basically all i watch so its not that beneficial for me
Неплохая альтернатива Floating Video, но с урезанным функционалом. Твёрдая 4-ка
For anyone switching from a browser with built in Picture-in-Picture features, this is the extension to get. It works exactly like the PiP function for Firefox, and I have so far not encountered any issues. Well coded.
O único que funcionou perfeitamente pra mim!
Muy útil, funciona perfectamente
Thank you. Its useful for me.
woahh!!!! THIS IS THE BEST THING EVER!!!! i recommend :) - you can resize the video - very functional - you only need to click the extension then the video will play in picture - can pause and unpause the video
love it
Great it even popups web page
Muito bom, mas ele continua resetando o tamanho depois que eu aumento, aleatoriamente.
