Video popup

The video popup takes a video out of its page and plays it in a small window that floats over every other app, on every desktop. The tab stays where it was, and the video goes back to it when you're done.

Opening it

• Right-click a video, or anywhere in a tab that's playing, and choose Open video in popup.
• Press ⌘Ctrl⌥AltP on the tab with the video. Press it again to put the video back.
• Right-click a tab's card in the command center and choose Open video in popup.
• In the Dynamic Island, press Open video in popup on a video playing in another tab.

By default a video playing with sound also moves to the popup by itself when you switch away from its tab, and goes back when you return. See Settings.

Using the popup

The controls show when you move the pointer over the popup and hide when it stops. A paused video keeps them up.

• Click to play or pause.
• Drag anywhere to move it.
• Pinch on a trackpad, or hold ⌘Ctrl and scroll, to resize it. It keeps the video's shape.
• Double-click to go back to the tab.

The top has Back to tab and Close. The bottom has mute, volume, and a seek bar (or Live for a live stream). Right-click for Play or Pause, Mute, Back to tab, and Close.

Back to tab puts the video back in its page and switches to it. Close puts it back without switching.

Keys

You can change ⌘Ctrl⌥AltP in Settings → Keyboard shortcuts → Browser features, and the new keys work inside the popup too.

Until you quit, the next popup opens at the size you gave the last one, in the same corner.

Settings

Go to Settings → General → Video popup:

Limits

• One video at a time is in the popup.
• On some pages the browser can't take the video out on its own, and it opens in Chromium's standard picture-in-picture window instead.
