Perfect for multitasking. ⚡lightning-fast shortcut: Press Alt+P (or your custom shortcut) to immediately launch any video into Picture-in-Picture mode, anytime you want. 🔔 smart notifications: Get clean, unobtrusive alerts confirming when PiP is active or when a page needs your interaction first.

How to Get Started: 1. Click 'Add to Chrome'. 2. Play a video. 3. Switch tabs and watch the magic happen! A few things to double-check: ✅ Did you reload the page after installing the extension? ✅ Is the video playing (not paused or muted)? ✅ Is there only one video playing at once? ✅ Have you enabled auto Picture-in-Picture via site settings? ✅ Are Chrome’s security policies blocking PiP? (Make sure to read the important notes 👇) Important Notes for a Smooth Experience: ⚠️ Auto-PiP Permission: Make sure you're on Chrome 134 or above, Auto-PiP should be enabled here `about://flags/#auto-picture-in-picture-for-video-playback` ⚠️ One-Click Rule: Due to Chrome's security policies, Auto-PiP requires a single interaction with the webpage (any click or keypress) before it can work automatically. The Alt+P shortcut works anytime, regardless. ⚠️ Video Compatibility: Some websites with heavily protected or complex video players may prevent PiP from launching. This is a browser-level limitation. Customize Your Experience: Shortcuts: Change the default shortcut at chrome://extensions/shortcuts Notifications: Right-click the PIPX toolbar icon to toggle notifications. 100% Free, Open-Source, and Secure.
