    Many browsers have fastforward and rewind 5/10 seconds controls on the hover state over the Picture-in-Picture playing video (Firefox, Zen, Safari, Arc). Orion mobile does (I guess native PiP controls in iOS), but the desktop lacks this.

      Merged 2 posts from Added PiP hover controls rewind/forward 5 Seconds.

        BTW, hold cmd and drag the pip window allows you to place the pip window anywhere.

          To summarize this thread:

          main requests:

          • show captions/subtitles
          • forward/backwards 15 seconds
          • timeline scrubber
          • drag pip window anywhere by default, and snap to corners when cmd is held

          resolved:

          • x should not go back to original tab, but just close pip window
          • laggy resizing

          eirk Thank you for this tip. Wish it was this way by default!

            The Video Pop-out player should have video controls similar to Arc. This is one of the features I use a lot on Arc, I was super happy when Automatic Pop-out was added to Orion, this would just seal the deal.

              I really like the idea of adding trackpad gesture support to the PiP (Picture-in-Picture) view. The proposed gestures seem intuitive and would indeed enhance the experience for trackpad users. Here's how I imagine the implementation could work:

              Proposed Gestures:

              • Swipe Up: Moves the Mini-Player up.
              • Swipe Left: Moves the Mini-Player to the left.
              • Swipe Right: Moves the Mini-Player to the right.
              • Swipe Down: Moves the Mini-Player down.
              • Pinch-In: Shrinks the PiP window.
              • Pinch-Out: Enlarges the PiP window.

              Additional UX Enhancements:

              • Cursor Behavior: Hiding the macOS cursor during gestures is a great touch. Restoring the cursor near the PiP window’s new position creates a cohesive mental model of the PiP being "detached" from traditional macOS windows, making it feel more dynamic and unique.
              • Target Audience: This would especially resonate with Mac users who heavily rely on trackpad gestures, adding a sense of control and delight that's distinct from a typical PiP experience.

              The Arc browser already offers this functionality. And so I believe it is a good feature (as they pour millions of dollars into designing that browser). Also, It aligns perfectly with the kind of smooth, trackpad-driven workflows that Mac users enjoy. Adding this will imrpove the PiP experience for the users who use Trackpad.

              PS: Considering a toggle in settings for those who might prefer traditional PiP interactions.

                  Three more things I'd love to see from PiP:

                  • resize to bigger windows - currently PiP window doesn't go bigger than 25% of screen
                  • double click on the PiP window, switches it to full screen (like with Firefox PiP)
                  • multiple PiP windows

                    mojolobo multiple PiP windows is such a killer Firefox feature. would love if Orion would implement that as well
