About Subtitle PiP – Captions in Picture-in-Picture

Watch with subtitles in a small floating window while you work in other tabs and apps. Most Picture-in-Picture usually drops subtitles, because most sites draw them as text on top of the video rather than inside it. Subtitle PiP reads the subtitles the player is showing and displays them in the Picture-in-Picture window. HOW TO USE - Play a video that has subtitles turned on. Click the Subtitle PiP toolbar icon, press Alt+Shift+S, or click the "⧉ CC" button that appears on the video when you hover over it. Press the shortcut again, or close the window, to go back to the page. You can change the shortcut at chrome://extensions/shortcuts. FEATURES - Subtitles stay visible in Picture-in-Picture even on players that render captions as text on top of the video instead of inside it Works with videos embedded in iframes Progress bar, play/pause, volume and mute controls in the Picture-in-Picture window on regular pages Floating mode for embedded players, with subtitles drawn onto the video and play, pause, volume and seek forwarded to the real video Keyboard shortcuts in the window: Space or K to play/pause, arrow keys to seek and change volume, M to mute One click to start, no setup, no account PRIVACY - Everything runs locally in your browser. Subtitle PiP has no servers, no analytics and no tracking, and it does not send video, subtitles or browsing data anywhere.
