Video Popout
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).

Excellent, does the job.

Ray 2025-09-18

good extension works almost everywhere just wish that when its used on YouTube that the extension wouldn't break the video player after closing the pop out

Adriano Inserra 2025-09-17

Joao Sampaio 2025-08-25

Perfect

Joe Orange Tree 2025-08-22

awesome extension, thank you :)

Hunter Keating 2025-08-17

Just saw this recommended in a reddit post and it works exactly as I needed! The popout mini player stays overlayed so I can watch something and still play games on one screen. Thank you!

OliveOr M 2025-08-12

please make the sizing smaller! especially for shorts...

David Artiston 2025-08-10

Very good extension, although recently the progress bar sometimes gets stuck at either full or empty and i have to fix it by restarting the video, i don't know why its like this.

Jake Freeman 2025-08-08

Really good and useful plugin, developer also has some other really useful stuff. I think the UI is a little bit clunky, the popout player doesn't let you rewind, so you have to go back to the page and rewind the video. You should also be able to double click the video in the popout and go fullscreen, but that's personal preference. I give it 4 stars, because it could be improved. The other option for YouTube PopOut isn't free, it also doesn't work on other websites like this extension.

One of the most useful plug ins that I have. Would love to see a feature that lets me 'lock' the pop out window. This would be helpful for when I'm playing a game and my cursor isn't locked into the game window.

Sergey Rudnev 2025-07-29

Missing features: 1) Click anywhere on popup to pause/resume (now only on button in center) with possibility to drag popup from any point (like now) 2) Double click to maximize/restore popup window 3) Add toolbar button to reload (refresh) video/page 4) Change video speed with slider and/or from menu with custom speed values P.S. this features implemented in Cent browser by default

Patrick Michael O'Sullivan 2025-07-05

Does exactly as advertised, just what I missed from Opera GX.

Rob 2025-06-14

Extremely useful if you're watching tutorials

Mohamed Matthana (Marclin 0) 2025-06-07

Rohith Tony 2025-05-23

懒癌饕餮 2025-05-11

It really works, pretty much like Opera GX

Nicholas Navarre 2025-04-29

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

The Banter Late Show 2025-03-30

It's useless because the play and pause options don't work in the little popout window, negating its purpose.

Madison K 2025-03-24

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.

Khubaib Ahmad 2025-03-13

Excellent working, could be improved if captions also come in the videos

Huy Nguyen 2025-03-05

Krishan Narang 2024-11-06

excellent work

Etienne De Lange 2024-10-23

Worked out of the box.

Unt Ko 2024-10-23

It would be 1000% better if you guys put an pop-out video icon inside the player.

Thomas England 2024-10-08

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.

Ray N 2024-09-09

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.

André Vieira 2024-08-23

Very Good exactly what i wanted

Saad Idrees 2024-07-29

Simple and perfectly working. Play a youtube video, from the extensions, click on this extension. Done!

Matt Sayer 2024-07-09

Excellent extension for multi-tasking with pop out video

Google Sucks 2024-06-21

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.

Gyalbu Sherpa 2024-06-17

sexy

frangkee 2024-06-06

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+.

5 star, the best

Artificial Wonder 2024-04-08

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

Marty Rivers 2024-03-14

Simple to use and works perfectly

FILLTHECROWN 2024-03-10

DJ X-PAT 254 2024-03-03

This is working so welll

Mom Mam 2024-02-04

simple and works as expected

Navy IHO 2024-02-04

Works. The only drawback is that you can't have multiple pop outs of streaming content ... only one at a time.

josh wanner 2024-02-02

Doesn't work on all sites
