———————————————————
This extension will no longer be updated. Thank you for using "Floating Player"!
Google Chrome 70 already has native Picture-in-Picture, so you don't need an extension anymore! Just create a new bookmark and add this code as URL:
javascript:document.getElementsByTagName('video')[0].requestPictureInPicture();
———————————————————
Source code and bug tracker are available at https://github.com/gabrielbarros/floating-player
———————————————————
Floating Player is a lightweight extension that lets you watch YouTube™ and Twitch videos while you browse the internet.
How to open a popup?
• Open the video page
• Click the extension icon on the top right corner of Chrome
——————————————————
READ THIS:
- If you want the classic popup back, go to the options page and uncheck "use native picture in picture".
- Most options don't work for native picture in picture.
- You need to install Deskpins if you prefer the classic popup.
——————————————————
Works with YouTube™, Twitch.tv and many others.

- 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!!
- IIPon3II ignore posts bfore 2017
- 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!!

- 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.

- 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.
- Paula Resende
- Não abre
- Raphael Sávio
- 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 kind
- 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.

- Clarisse Joy Angela Villegas
- 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
- Best Of the Best
- Неплохая альтернатива Floating Video, но с урезанным функционалом. Твёрдая 4-ка
- Noah Roth
- 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!
