Video Popout

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

What is Video Popout?

'Video Popout' is a chrome extension that lets users pop out videos from their active tab into a separate, floating window. This window stays active even if you change the active tab. The pop-out function comes handy when multitasking and wanting the video to stay on top of other windows. Note, to pop out videos, they must be playing first. Closing the tab containing the video also closes the floating window. This extension uses the 'picture-in-picture' JavaScript API.

Summary

Analyze keywords

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.

If you have a feature request or found a bug to report, please fill the bug report form on the addon's homepage (https://mybrowseraddon.com/video-popout.html).

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+.

Hello, I hope you're having a splendid day! I am currently seeking opportunities to expand my business operations by investing in extensions with a significant user base, beginning from 50,000 users and up. No matter if your extension has a modest user base or counts its users in the millions, I am interested and ready to negotiate a purchase. If you are in possession of such an extension and looking to turn it into a profit, please consider reaching out to me. We can discuss the price and proceed with a transparent and secure transaction through a trusted escrow service based in the United States. It's great that Google allows the transfer of extension ownership between accounts, so your Google account ownership will remain intact. If you have any needs, please contact us via the following contacts Whatsapp: +1 (248) 896‑8035 Telegram: t.me/harryysandersonn
