Vlad Yeah I agree.

What about the way Opera does it:

It's an option to automatically pop out the window when you change tabs. It's so nice!

Right now when you switch tabs, you gotta find the tab where the video is playing and right click ā†’ and select show PiP. It's a lot of steps for something that most times someone would always want when switching tabs.

      1. no, this is handled by webkit, not orion. see https://orionfeedback.org/d/2928-control-picture-in-picture-video-with-arrow-keys
      2. no. see https://orionfeedback.org/d/1369-picture-in-picture-mode-button (tldr, shortcut and menu item exist, don't want to inject unnecessary stuff into webpage)
      3. make a separate post for this
      4. no, this is handled by webkit, not orion. see https://orionfeedback.org/d/2540-move-pip-more-freely/6

      also please make one suggestion per post
      otherwise its really hard to track individual requests

          i agree with having automatic activation of PiP when switching tabs or macos spaces, atleast as an option, its really useful on arc

          also having video controls such as skip forwards / backwards 10 seconds would be good, but if its not in wekit's PiP then okay

                I feel arc implements some of these features pretty well, but I believe it uses its own custom PiP implementation, as I don't think chromium comes with one.

                video:

                What i think it does well:

                • freely moveable window, but also can align to edges
                • forward/backwards
                • progress bar on bottom

                  eirk yeah Iā€™m a big fan of its implementation in Arc. my favourite feature is that PIP video triggers automatically as soon as you navigate to another tab

                    eirk changed the title to Custom PIP implementation .

                      As of today, the PiP frame can only sit in one of the 4 corners of the screen.

                      I am wondering whether it would be possible to be able to drag the PiP to anywhere on the screen, a bit like this (this is Firefox's PiP feature)

                        Vlad from what I have experienced in Safari, PiP cannot be moved at all, and is only limited to sitting in the bottom left corner of the screen. PiP in Safari is also not as often available as in Orion, which seems to provide this feature a lot more constantly.
                        For example, PiP in Twitch is not available/possible on Safari, but is available on Orion.

                            viewsourc3 I believe is PiP is managed by WebKit and this would probably be better made as a suggestion on WebKit issue tracker.

                                    Vlad I've downloaded Orion Browser Beta for the first time. Just testing it on Youtube videos. Then i want to install Google Chrome picture-in-picture extension and i didnt work. Then i search this site for pip features and i found it.. Really instructive for me šŸ™‚
                                    I want to say that Orion Browser is really good i love it..

                                        Hi,

                                        Latest Orion RC Version 0.99.109.1.5-beta (WebKit 613.1.12)
                                        Netflix PiP doesn't show subtitles like it does on Safari.
                                        Perhaps this is a bug or is it an issue on my end?

                                        Regards,

                                          2 years later

                                          It would be great if developers could consider adding a feature to Orion that allows subtitles on video websites like YouTube to appear in PiP windows.

                                          Subtitles in PiP will make PiP features even more useful. In some countries, people get used to watch video with dubbed subtitles, which is not a common thing in most videos. For those who always likes to have subtitles on, a PiPed video without subtitles becomes painful and thus will be a useless function for them. So adding support of subtitles in PiP might be a starting point for them to use PiP.

                                          As far as I know, Firefox has incorporated this feature into the browser, and it has become quite useful for people who always like to have subtitles when watching videos.

                                          Here is the screenshot for Firefox PiP. (I know it is a highly customised one, with not-quite-apple style design, but it is really useful! )

                                          Users might enable the subtitle option in the website, and once they open PiP for the video, and can directly see the sub on PiP window.
