Picture-in-Picture Viewer Chrome Extension
In order to use the new panel window feature you need to type chrome://flags/#enable-panels in address bar and enable panel windows (a chrome restart is required), otherwise only popup windows will be created.
- Playing online videos in a standalone window!
- A convenient way for Facebook chatting!
- A always-on-top window for Hangouts video calls!
- Viewing websites in mobile view!
By clicking the PiP button a panel window will be created based on your current tab.
- If it is a new tab there will be a popup box for you to enter the url you want.
- If you are viewing a video or the url ends with .swf the video or the flash will be captured into a iframe block automatically.
- Otherwise the url will be loaded directly by the panel window, and it's in mobile view!
Supported video sites:
- Youtube
- Youku
- Don't do right click in a PiP window, your chrome will crash, fixed in Chrome Canary v33.0.1703.0
- Your should open PiP window from a video link directly instead of opening Youtube home page
- Bookmark it!
- Try appending "#panel" to the URL and bookmark it!
- Sometimes you need to use "/#panel" if the url does not end with "/".
- Sometimes "panel://yoururl" would also work
- eg.
- http://www.wolframalpha.com/#panel
- panel://www.wolframalpha.com
Sometimes "panel://yoururl" won't work because Google will search it, so PiP will also parse the url generated by Google Search, more specifically the url contains "q=panel%3A%2F%2Fyoururl"
- Can open url without prefix like "http://"
- Add option for automatically open current tab in panel window
- Add shortcuts for Facebook and Google Keep
