Video Popout

Pop-out and load any video element to a floating window.

Video Popout - Floating Video Window Extension

"Video Popout" is an Edge extension that enables users to detach active videos from tabs and view them in a small, floating window. The popup remains active as you navigate between tabs, allowing for multitasking. Utilizing the picture-in-picture API, it works in all modern browsers and stays on top of other windows. Note that the video must be playing to pop out, and users can adjust settings through the options page. For bug reports or feature requests, visit the addon's homepage.

在twitch上完美运行

Does it as it says, just right-click your video. Works across a variety of video platforms that I've tested. *HOWEVER* is it possible to get this extension to allow pop-outs for multiple video streams at the same time? This is a feature in Firefox and it was great for F1TV watching 4-6 popped out videos at once.
