Description from store
"YouTube™ on Hover" extension displays a floating panel player once your mouse is over a YouTube link. This is useful to preview YouTube links without the need to open them in separate tabs.
To hide the floating player, just click somewhere inside the page.
For your convenience there are some options:
1. You can either place the player at the center of the screen or just beneath the YouTube link with custom offset.
2. For the player to appear, keep hover over a link for 1 second. This option is useful to bypass YouTube links that are accidentally been hovered
3. Once a link is previewed, it will be stroked-through to be distinguished from other YouTube links that are still not visited. Note that the strike-though is not permanent. Reloading the page will remove all the decorations.
4. As of version 0.1.4, you can watch previews in "Turn of the Light" mode. Open options page to change this setting.

- (2020-12-05) Sergey Andreev: Все еще работает, при этом имеет неплохие настройки, позволяющие регулировать расположение, размер и задержку появления всплывающего окна превью. На окошке сохраняются все элементы управления, вплоть до встроенных другими расширениями. То есть уже из превью, не покидая исходной страницы, можно регулировать скорость, громкость, качество видео.
- (2020-08-10) Meta Master: Flawless. I recommend 2500 milliseconds and checking "Display on YouTube" in the settings.
- (2019-09-20) Dogan Mermertas: Works pretty well,but would be nice to see more customization options like - show preview only as long as you hover the link with the mouse - show preview inside thumbnail instead of a seperate frame (with or without controls choosable)
- (2019-08-04) Lesia DiPenta: Amazing, super fast, doesn't slow down anything! Super fast previews also, push play it imeediately plays in awesome quality. Small preview right near the link but large enough to see vid perfectly (4x4inches approx).
- (2018-01-01) Monika Mahobia: it's really amazing ..must have extension for everyone.
- (2017-11-13) Bill Gates: It works as expected. You need to enable youtube in setting. PS: please make it work with only youtube THUMBNAILS, and not text-links. It's not possible to examine link text without previewing video.
- (2017-03-31) Jorge Alejo: Doesn't work on youtube website. It would be very useful to preview related videos too.
- (2017-03-08) Hunter S. Thompson: This extension is awesome. The perfect compliment to Imagus, as it adds the same type of functionality for Youtube videos. Highly customizable and really useful.
- (2016-12-22) Сергей Павлов: Very useful extension.
