YouTube PiP Control

Control YouTube's Picture-in-Picture and Miniplayer buttons, with auto-exit and keyboard shortcuts.

Take back control of YouTube's player bar. YouTube PiP Control puts the Picture-in-Picture and Miniplayer buttons exactly where you want them — right in the player controls — so you never have to dig through right-click menus again. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ WHAT IT DOES ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ▸ Show or hide the Picture-in-Picture button Toggle the native PiP button in the YouTube control bar on demand. ▸ Add a Miniplayer button Bring the Miniplayer button back to the control bar — even when YouTube hides its own — with a clean, native-looking tooltip. ▸ Auto-exit Picture-in-Picture Watching in PiP and scroll back to the video? PiP automatically closes when the player comes into view, so you're never watching the same thing twice. ▸ Keyboard shortcuts • Alt + E — Toggle the Picture-in-Picture button • Alt + A — Toggle auto-exit • Alt + M — Toggle the Miniplayer button (On macOS, Alt is the ⌥ Option key.) ▸ Simple popup Three switches, one click. Flip a setting or use a shortcut — that's it. ▸ Works in 11 languages English, Español, हिन्दी, Português, Bahasa Indonesia, 日本語, Deutsch, Français, 한국어, 中文, العربية. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ PRIVACY FIRST ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ This extension does NOT collect, store, or transmit any personal data.
