Description from extension meta

Changes fullscreen buttons to go into a popup. Works for every website that uses fullscreen, including Youtube, Vimeo, Netflix

Image from store Windowed - floating Youtube/every website

Description from store Changes fullscreen buttons so they will put a window around the fullscreen app. This allows you to put a Youtube video about a subject next to the paper you are writing or watch a show on Netflix while chatting. This extension will not reload the video you are watching, nor use some custom controls: it puts the website in its own fullscreen mode. Now also supports Picture-in-Picture mode when fullscreening a video, but this takes away the websites video controls. --- This extension requires "Read sites data" permission to function, but you can right-click the extension icon, click "This Can Read and Change Site Data" and enable it only for websites that you are comfortable with. Also the source is open, so you can read that no data is actually read or changed by this extension :) --- It will present you with a small menu when you click fullscreen, so you can choose to go fullscreen or windowed. Some of the website confirmed to work: - Youtube - Netflix - Twitch - Most other websites... Does not work on - Flash videos (these are outside of the scope of browser extensions, I tried) - Videos with native html controls (as they use native fullscreen, not javascript fullscreen) It is possible there are websites where this does not work, even though they are not flash. If you happen to find one, please let me know! :) Firefox extension: https://addons.mozilla.org/nl/firefox/addon/windowed/ Source code: https://github.com/dralletje/windowed 🤨 🤩 🤤 🧛🏻‍♂️ 🦄 Michiel Dral

(2025-06-21) Dorian Robinson: Love this app. I am having a hiccup however when using the app with Google Home Nest camera view. Chrome hangs for 10-15 seconds when exiting full screen (In-window). Thanks again for the great app!!!!!
(2025-06-13) Juan Hidalgo: A MUST HAVE!!!
(2025-06-02) Kevin Pi: If you alt tab to the full screened window that is already open, it starts creating duplicates. How do you resolve this?
(2025-05-19) Homayoon Vafamehr: Does what it promises
(2025-05-09) Xa Phạm: Windows 7 not working
(2025-04-11) Алек Соколов: Just what I wanted!
(2025-04-09) Allen Honig: Title: Super Handy for Multitasking – Windowed is a Game Changer Rating: ★★★★★ (5/5) Review: I've been using Windowed for a few weeks now and it's become one of those tools I can't imagine working without. The concept is super simple: open any website (YouTube, Twitch, Reddit, Gmail—you name it) in a floating, always-on-top window that behaves like a native app. But the execution is what makes it great. What I love: ✅ Always-on-top floating window: Perfect for watching videos or keeping a chat window visible while you work or browse. ✅ Clean, minimal UI: It strips away all the browser clutter, so you're just left with the content you care about. ✅ Custom sizing + resizable: You can adjust it however you like, and it remembers your size and position. ✅ Works with any website: Not limited to YouTube—I've used it for Notion, Google Docs, ChatGPT, and even Spotify Web. If you're someone who likes to multitask or just wants a cleaner way to watch content while doing other things, Windowed is a must-have. Highly recommended!
(2025-03-31) cdcyborg: Works great for watching videos without having the search bar and bookmarks bar clutter!
(2025-03-28) Matthew: Picture-in-Picture mode on any fullscreen media player was EXACTLY what I was looking for and this has it, thank you!
(2025-03-21) C E: This is the only window/full screen video player extension that works flawlessly on almost every video player found out there. I've tried them all, and this was it.
(2025-03-10) Jonathan Muller: Worked perfectly for Crunchyroll, big fan of the 'windowed' mode - opens the player in a separate 'borderless' window
(2025-03-04) Lilac Sime: Works very well! At first i didn't understand how to pop it out of the tab. For any one for needs to know, just press the full screen button after you select the option you would like
(2025-03-04) John Martin (Sciocore): I'm going to give it one star because I can't find any instruction anywhere on how to get OUT of the windowed full screen mode without having to reload the whole page.
(2025-02-26) KY Lim: should change mini player button instead of full screen button.
(2025-02-22) Stalin Gino: This is the best.
(2025-02-03) Mario Avila: Works well! I do have a request: PIP limits video size, while windowed mode removes the tab and adds a title bar. I’d love an option that allows fullscreen-sized video without the title bar, while keeping the parent tab active for normal browsing.
(2025-01-21) Adam Bates: Been looking for something to give me more space with Udemy videos So far so good!
(2025-01-13) Sean X: Was looking for a simple solution for this, does exactly what I needed, thank you!
(2024-12-19) Atom: Really great but needs custom subtitles in pop out & 10/15sec skip
(2024-12-10) Mrinal Kumar: THIS IS WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR A LONG TIME, THANK YOU SO MUCH. I CANT EXPRESS HOW MUCH HAPPY I AM, THAT SOMEONE HAS MADE THIS EXACTLY THE WAY I WAS LOOKING FOR. THANK YOU AGAIN
(2024-11-22) Inka Kiu: I've been using it for years, and it works really great! Thank you for the extensions :D
(2024-11-14) Paweł Mączko (Monczek): Great extension, but from yesterday/today I cannot scroll down on YT in any fullscreen modes... It was a great feature to be able to read comments, vote, etc in the same time as video is playing :) Thanks in advance for fast fix :)
(2024-11-04) ?: This is an awesome extension!! 😮
(2024-10-16) Sam: This is such a handy extension, which I use regularly - it has just done its job, quietly and efficiently for years now. Thanks a lot to the developers.
(2024-10-04) V S Rawat: Doesn't do anything in Edge, though all chrome extensions are suppossed to work in Edge. Removing.
(2024-09-27) Kenneth Cheung: Absolutely love this extension. Hope developer does updates to ensure that it stays supported and not removed.
(2024-08-27) Dorian: Great app. Any chance you can update so it works on reddit?
(2024-08-11) Liam NG: Works great with YouTube and other websites.
(2024-08-07) Supreme Study: cool and nice
(2024-07-30) sajjad z: perfect
(2024-07-22) Hope Zimmerman: Doesn't seem to have any settings and whenever you put it in windows mode it closes the actual tab the video came from and then when you close the video it just restores it to the window in the last tab slot, if you had that tab in a group then the tab is now out of the group, it would be better if it did more what picture in picture did and just left the tab alone. I'd even be ok with it pausing the video in the tab and opening the video in that window as long as it didn't close the tab. As it is, though, I definitely can't recommend it and will be looking for something that's a bit more feature rich, that is to say, that does literally one thing and doesn't close my tab whenever I put the video in windowed mode.
(2024-07-03) Marco Dickert: Perfect.
(2024-06-30) Raine Sisk: Works beautifully on Youtube and elsewhere.
(2024-05-31) Rafaello Adler-Abramo: Excellent tool, makes watching something while having a chat open a lot easier. A small suggestion: allowing us to set a global default option would be nice. Like in my case, I want things to be fullscreen 90% of the time, but this extension is perfect for the remaining situations.
(2024-05-31) Josh Snoddy: This is awesome. Wish i'd have searched for a solution years ago!
(2024-05-30) Rami Salameh: works perfectly
(2024-05-20) Raditya Fadilla: I was looking for a windowed-full screen extension and this does exactly that, and more.
(2024-05-17) Yin Yang: So I already reached you Michiel, I sent you an email on April 11th from a ProtonMail address due to some problems that the extension has been presenting, could you please check it out? I added a screenshot too in-it, the subject of such email is the following: "Issues with Windowed Floating YT/Every WSite" Please don't reply to this post as I'm not an avid user here, you could reply to that email I sent you if you need to for more info.
(2024-04-22) AvioCritical: 5+ Best in pair with another extension called [Open-as-Popup] to disable classic window up bar (tested on Windows 10 Chrome and Linux Nobara 39 Chrome) Remember to rebind "Toggle popup mode" hotkey if using Open-as-Popup extension (Three dots Settings⋮Extensions -> Manage Extensions -> Keyboard Shortcuts)
(2024-04-17) Chris Burke: This extension is really awesome, especially for ultra-wide monitors. However there is no way to unscreen the video and return to the page which hosted the video you're watching. I end up having to close the whole window every time.
(2024-04-10) C: Great for super ultrawide monitors
(2024-04-08) Cody Hughes: I wanted an extension to allow me to view videos in "fill window" rather than full screen, so I can use the rest of my wide screen while watching a video. This extension does exactly that (and more actually). Perfectly happy with it.
(2024-04-06) Tim G: Works perfect for the bottom screen on my ROG duo laptop. Youtube videos fit exacly on half of the screen and it looks really clean!
(2024-04-05) Brian Kaufman: Adds a critical feature, particularly for folks with ultrawide monitors!
(2024-04-04) Attila Sáfrány: This is what I was looking for so long: scalable PiP, pop-up window, and inline fullscreen mode options. Thanks!
(2024-03-28) Ravi Kurma: I really like this app, it works for almost all things that can be full screened. However it does not work for Reddit (New interface) videos. Would love to see that functionality.
(2024-03-25) Simon: Allowed me to do exactly what I needed, watch videos in "fullscreen" mode using 50% of my widescreen monitor. Tested Wistia and YouTube video players in Chrome, using Windows 11 default screen splitting. Set the browser extension option to "In-Window" and selected fullscreen on the video player - worked perfectly.
(2024-03-23) Rachel Watkins: THANK YOU SO MUCH for this extension. It has made it possible to actually USE both sides of my ultrawide monitor, specifically for watching full-size videos from any source on one half of my screen. I can't believe the solution had to come from a Chrome extension instead of Windows just allowing users to treat one monitor as two without third-party software.
(2024-03-22) Eric Crady: Great extension that I just discovered. It does seems to have an issue with ncaa.com for March Madness. Multiple Chrome windows open - first windows will go to Windowed mode but all other windows then go full-screen when attempting Windowed.
(2024-03-09) Ingvar Orn Ingolfsson: I have been thinking about a solution like this without knowing about this for years <3 Just love this :D
