PiP for YouTube™ — Floating Mini Player gives you one-click Picture-in-Picture (PiP) on YouTube, including Shorts. Click the toolbar icon (or the small in-player button) to pop the video out into a floating mini player — click again to return.
Why users choose this
⚡ Fast & lightweight: zero bloat, instant toggle
🔒 Privacy-friendly: no tracking, analytics, or network calls
🧩 Minimal permissions: activeTab + scripting only
🧠 SPA-aware: reliable on watch pages and Shorts
How it works
Click the toolbar icon to enter/exit Picture-in-Picture on the current video.
Or use the PiP button inside the YouTube player (top-right).
Handles YouTube’s single-page navigation so the button stays available.
Permissions
activeTab: lets the toggle run on the tab you clicked.
scripting: injects a tiny function to request/exit PiP. No remote code.
Privacy
No data collection. No external requests. Everything runs locally.
Notes
If the first attempt is blocked by the site’s user-gesture policy, click the in-player button once, then the toolbar works as expected.
