Description from store
Video Popout is an extension that lets you easily detach the active video in a tab and load it in a small and floating popup outside of the current window.
The floating window remains active even if you change the active tab. Please note that if you close the tab that contains the video, the floating popup window will be closed as well. This addon uses the new JavaScript API called "picture-in-picture". It currently works in all modern browsers. It is important to note that, the floating window will stay on top of other windows.
Note: please play the video first and then click on the toolbar button to make it pop out. A paused or stopped video element, will not respond to the pop-out request. To change this behavior, please visit the extension options page and adjust the settings.
If you have a feature request or found a bug to report, please fill out the bug report form on the addon's homepage (https://mybrowseraddon.com/video-popout.html).

- (2025-07-05) Patrick Michael O'Sullivan: Does exactly as advertised, just what I missed from Opera GX.
- (2025-06-14) Rob: Extremely useful if you're watching tutorials
- (2025-06-07) Mohamed Matthana (Marclin 0): Works flawlessly.
- (2025-06-05) Caliope Rose: Video stays even when switching between applications.... my literal hero
- (2025-05-11) 懒癌饕餮: It really works, pretty much like Opera GX
- (2025-04-29) Nicholas Navarre: perfect. everything works, unlike what some of the comments say. can resize, move around (even over the taskbar), can pause, can rewind and fastforward by using the arrow keys if you click on it. You can limit the sites it has access to. Very good
- (2025-03-30) The Banter Late Show: It's useless because the play and pause options don't work in the little popout window, negating its purpose.
- (2025-03-24) Madison K: Barebones does exactly what it advertises. Updates required: 1) Do not gray popout when mouseover. 2) Allow for controls from youtube transferred into popout. 3) captions to popout. I will continue to search for a good video popout.
- (2025-03-13) Khubaib Ahmad: Excellent working, could be improved if captions also come in the videos
- (2025-03-05) Huy Nguyen: it works
- (2025-02-24) Nylbert Victor: does what it promisses, work as intended

- (2024-11-06) Krishan Narang: excellent work
- (2024-10-23) Etienne De Lange: Worked out of the box.
- (2024-10-23) Unt Ko: It would be 1000% better if you guys put an pop-out video icon inside the player.
- (2024-10-08) Thomas England: Hi do you know if there is a way to make the popout respect windows multitasking meaning have it snap to corners via windows left/right/up/down key.
- (2024-09-09) Ray N: I have a super wide 1440 monitor, why is it locked into 1080p max? I don't mind locking at 16:9 but at least have it able to go 16:9 on a bigger potrion of my desktop. Edit: after years of contacting the developers still can't resize top to bottom edge on a 1440p monitor.
- (2024-08-23) André Vieira: Very Good exactly what i wanted
- (2024-07-29) Saad Idrees: Simple and perfectly working. Play a youtube video, from the extensions, click on this extension. Done!
- (2024-07-09) Matt Sayer: Excellent extension for multi-tasking with pop out video
- (2024-06-21) Google Sucks: if your watching a YouTube video then all you need to do is right click two times on the video and click the picture in picture.
- (2024-06-06) frangkee: allows me to multitask by using a video pop out (always on top). It's especially helpful when working on a laptop because snapping a window to the side will take up more space and minimize the play area of the video. but as a pop out it can maximize the space. One issue that I discovered was that it doesn't work with Disney+. I hope it will support other websites on top of Disney+.

- (2024-04-08) Artificial Wonder: Stupid extension that break rendering of oher application in Ubuntu 22. Destroyed my nerves trying to resolve issues with flickering Intellij and terminal by reinstalling drivers and changing settings and it turned out that it's this stupid extension
- (2024-03-14) Marty Rivers: Simple to use and works perfectly

- (2024-02-04) Mom Mam: simple and works as expected
- (2024-02-04) Navy IHO: Works. The only drawback is that you can't have multiple pop outs of streaming content ... only one at a time.
- (2024-02-02) josh wanner: Doesn't work on all sites
- (2024-01-22) jim van de wetering: it works great
- (2024-01-15) Mapleine: Perfect. Exactly what I was after and with the smoothest controls I've ever seen in a pop out player. Thank you very much.

- (2023-12-19) Kincayd: This works well, but is there any chance of subtitles being added to the video popout? It would make this the single best option for this type of function
- (2023-12-19) Will: Works every time and is a great app. However, a suggestion to improve the overall video playback experience would be, adding the ability to skip forward/back 10sec when the video pop-out box is active, either by adding extra on screen buttons in the pop-out box and by using the keyboard arrow keys to skip 10sec in the video, would make this a five star app.

- (2023-08-15) Nicole Ahmed: Works well for making a pop out video frame from Youtube which stays on top of all browser windows. Resizeable and has pause, back and forward controls. No subtitles, none of the other youtube controls like fast forward, rewind, speed etc. There are lots and lots of extensions using this same code. Unfortunately none are open source so can't be sure that these aren't malicious or invading privacy Unfortunately this company has a poor track record for injecting malicious code and trojan software.

- (2023-07-02) Dean Thoren: I got a recommendation from this extension From a friend and I've mostly been able to only use it for Youtube but when I do it typically works in most full screen games a few outliers being Minecraft for example because it's not windowed full screen. Overall though it's great it does exactly what it should
