About Picture in Picture for Videos

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Is this a mini player, a video pop-out or a PiP extension?
All three. People also call it a floating window or "video in a small window on top". It uses Chrome's own picture-in-picture window, so playback quality and controls are exactly what Chrome provides.
Will the video keep playing when I switch tabs?
Yes. Keep the original tab open in the background and the video keeps playing above whatever you are doing.
Can I move or resize the window?
Yes. Drag it anywhere and resize it from any edge. The aspect ratio stays locked.
Is it free?
Yes, completely. There is no premium tier.
It does not work on a site. What should I do?
Start the video first, then click the icon. If it still fails, follow the steps at https://pipextension.com/guides/picture-in-picture-not-working or email us.
