And at the same time doing something else, minimizing the browser.
Previously, in order to open a video in a separate pop-up window, you had to install all sorts of extensions. Fortunately, in newer versions of Chrome, this feature has been implemented into the browser itself. True, it is turned on by a rather unobvious method.
First of all, make sure your browser is up to date. The picture-in-picture video mode has appeared in Chrome since version 69. Click "Menu" → "Help" → "About Google Chrome Browser" and the program will check for updates.
Then open the YouTube video page. This feature works on other sites as well, but only on those that support HTML5 video. For example, Dailymotion.
Right click on the video and the YouTube settings menu will appear. And then - attention - right-click again to open another menu. In it you will find the item "Picture in Picture". Select it, and the video will move to the small window at the bottom right.
Thus, it will be possible to watch the video, even by switching to another tab. The main thing is not to close the YouTube window. Or you can even minimize the browser and open another application - the video will still remain on the screen.
The size of the floating window can be adjusted by dragging its edge. In addition, it itself is perfectly transferred to any corner of the screen. And when you close it, the video will continue to play as usual - in the tab.
The only thing that is a little annoying: in the picture-in-picture mode, you won't be able to switch to another video or rewind the current one - you can only pause. The Streamkeys extension will help in part with this.
