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.
