Pop-out and load any video element to a floating window.
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).

- (2024-05-01) Bruce Sousefi: 5 star, the best
- (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.
- (2023-09-01) IVANTHA UTHPALA (IR): works fine...it is better ifyou put a button on youtube player
- (2023-08-30) Juan Manuel Andrade: Overlay windows just what I wanted
- (2023-08-29) Thye Zi Chong: It works perfectly similar to bilibili. Amazing extension for watching videos while playing puzzle games for example.
- (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
- (2023-06-24) Justin Reinhart: Does what it claims. Works on YouTube just fine.
- (2023-06-21) Gimantha Karunasekara: Curved edges please
- (2023-06-04) Sammy Guergachi: doesnt work with youtube
- (2023-05-18) Matthew: Does not work with YouTube.
- (2023-04-28) Earth Dessert: Works
- (2022-12-31) Julia S.: I use it on Chrome, it works :-) +++
- (2022-12-20) Paul Newman: What's the point of this plugin? The people that like this extension seem to be unaware that there's ALREADY one currently built into chrome that offers some extras. This one requires me to click play before it will even do the popout/PIP and it's worse than chrome/googles. You can at least juggle through video selection in googles/chrome by clicking the extension and you're not required to be on the particular tab you're wanting to view the video/PIP with. Offers zero video control(volume/forward/backward/ETC) outside of play/pause/close/back to tab. Even the sizing is the exact same as chrome. Don't bother. Granted I'm using this on youtube. So it may have more functionality elsewhere, but it's pointless to me.
- (2022-12-08) Phoenix Cruz (Cone_Hhead): Amazing. No problems at all.
- (2022-11-17) Zedament: Just click play on a video, click the extension, and just like that, you're watching YouTube, 123Movies, or ANY VIDEO which opens up in a resizable pinned window. I NEVER review plugins but... This is AWESOME! -Great for students who can't afford a multi-monitor display; great for studying. -Great for employee productivity. (Watch relaxing videos to encourage happy thoughts without getting distracted) -Great for gamers! (Watch a movie while you play a calm video game)
- (2022-10-18) foot print: well iam writing my reviaw while watching my anime thank you for making the internet world easier
- (2022-09-11) Richard Skeats: I had been using a window frameless popout and position and size it which is manual work I hide things like gradients and spinners as I seek back and forwards which this don't have which is nice. The only thing that I don't like and ruins it completely for me is the dimming overlay that appears on mouse hover where dims the whole thing and i can't see the video when seeking back and forwards especially if I am looking at educational videos. I find that very annoying. It's not your fault I think it is a stupid trend that had gotten out of control and I've seen The Youtube app doing it making it useless to me. I ask what good does it do, obscures the picture which doesn't help, I don't want overlays of things covering up the contents. I don't mind a thin border along the controls to help the user see it like there use to be. I don't like gradients either placed over things as it gives me a false illusion of shadows or clouds (if in a scene of skies). Also I cant seem seek by towards the end. Good effort though by not including the spinners and gradients and other annoying stuff. I like it clear and plane with just the controls. I'd give it 5 starts if it didn't have that overlay appear.
- (2022-09-07) Nick Hollister: Great app, plug and play. Two shortcomings are lack of rewind and subtitles. Subtitles and controls beyond pause only show in the primary window.
- (2022-08-17) Ryan Case: Exactly what I needed, just a modal window that floats. Please do not try and add extra controls and complications to reduce the reliability of the app. Perfect as is.
- (2022-07-02) s s: perfection
- (2022-06-12) Tomasz toniemasz: Works perfectly! THANKS <3
- (2022-04-23) Kunal Arora: Allow detaching multiple videos simultaneously
- (2022-04-08) Angel Strange: Me encanta esta extension es muy util, puedo ver videos mientras hago otras cosas
- (2022-03-18) Stian Eriksen: No controls available
- (2021-12-27) Лимон Лайм: Супер!!!
- (2021-12-13) Alexandre Cunha: I works pretty well!!! I use it on Brave which is based on Chrome technology!!! Thank you so much developer!!! I want you to have a nice day!!!
- (2021-11-20) Keenan Ocansey: It literally just stopped working. It was fine and worked for a few months. Recently, it doesn't.
- (2021-10-27) Elodin Istina: I have to reinstall it every time I open the browser, otherwise it does not work. (Microsoft Edge, Chromium based).
- (2021-10-04) Yo Mama Mate: Works great. Needs a way to disable the notification when a video is popped up. It's annoying.
- (2021-09-29) Christopher Merlo: Great, just wish the video could get larger sometimes. Allowing brightness settings for the video might help too, darker shows in smaller format are much harder to see. Most of all it doesnt work with Apple TV+. Once this is fixed it becomes an essential Addon
- (2021-09-12) RJ: Awesome, but can you make the borders magnetic, and also remember the size! please!!
- (2021-08-26) Roberto Perez: This is absolutely awesome, with having a small "sizeable' video screen while working... Love it!
- (2021-08-19) Víðarr Kerr: It works pretty well. If they added the ability to open multiple instances at the same time, that would be Awesome.
- (2021-08-18) Frank Vasquez P: Excelente se queda siempre en primer plano me encanto
- (2021-07-11) Emperor Frieza: Amazing, works on even anime sites, but a major drawback when you want to play a game in fullscreen it doesn't work. A fix to this would be very useful
- (2021-06-13) Kimani Wittner: Great extension works seamlessly with all my media
- (2021-05-23) Space Jester: Works on brave just great! Thanks!!
- (2021-04-18) Nadie Abulail: fantastic popout extension. Just would love to see a volume indicator on the actual video once popped out, and would love the option to popout several videos at once
- (2021-04-17) Kid Vegas: while it works the extension does what it says. but some times it just stops working or it just doesn't respond.
- (2021-04-15) Nathan Abbott: Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks, works well.
- (2021-02-26) RoyTT: I would rate this 10 stars if possible! It does what it says it does. For me playing games like Elite Dangerous spending hours and hours jumping from system to system this is perfect for me to watch some youtube while doing so! I dont own a second monitor and dont need one anymore :) Video popout is easy to use and works well! (Would love some features to control more of the video settings like volume etc)
- (2021-01-31) maya: I really enjoyed it, and it seemed to work for every site. But recently, it stopped working for Disney+. Maybe you guys can check it out and fix it? Thanks!
- (2021-01-25) ip-Link Network: Awesome
- (2021-01-19) Tom Hogarth: Worked when I first installed it but now clicking the button does nothing
- (2021-01-16) yutinsa: It works but still lacks one important feature for me. Full screen. You see I like to project from my laptop to a second screen in extend mode. So while working on my laptop, I pop out videos to the second screen. While there I have no means to maximize it into full screen.
- (2020-12-25) Farid Hamour: Beautifull extension ! Thanks :D
- (2020-12-25) Sơn Hữu: Make control video please. Can't control it???. and shortcut youtube video is nice
- (2020-12-15) Fishy: Works just as expected. No faults.
- (2020-11-30) HOI808: good
