Windowed - floating Youtube/every website
290 ratings
)Overview
Changes fullscreen buttons to go into a popup. Works for every website that uses fullscreen, including Youtube, Vimeo, Netflix
Changes fullscreen buttons so they will put a window around the fullscreen app. This allows you to put a Youtube video about a subject next to the paper you are writing or watch a show on Netflix while chatting. This extension will not reload the video you are watching, nor use some custom controls: it puts the website in its own fullscreen mode. Now also supports Picture-in-Picture mode when fullscreening a video, but this takes away the websites video controls. --- This extension requires "Read sites data" permission to function, but you can right-click the extension icon, click "This Can Read and Change Site Data" and enable it only for websites that you are comfortable with. Also the source is open, so you can read that no data is actually read or changed by this extension :) --- It will present you with a small menu when you click fullscreen, so you can choose to go fullscreen or windowed. Some of the website confirmed to work: - Youtube - Netflix - Twitch - Vimeo - NFL Gamepass - Facebook - Most other websites... Does not work on - Flash videos (these are outside of the scope of browser extensions, I tried) - Videos with native html controls (as they use native fullscreen, not javascript fullscreen) It is possible there are websites where this does not work, even though they are not flash. If you happen to find one, please let me know! :) Firefox extension: https://addons.mozilla.org/nl/firefox/addon/windowed/ Source code: https://github.com/dralletje/windowed 🤨 🤩 🤤 🧛🏻♂️ 🦄 Michiel Dral

Allowed me to do exactly what I needed, watch videos in "fullscreen" mode using 50% of my widescreen monitor. Tested Wistia and YouTube video players in Chrome, using Windows 11 default screen splitting. Set the browser extension option to "In-Window" and selected fullscreen on the video player - worked perfectly.

THANK YOU SO MUCH for this extension. It has made it possible to actually USE both sides of my ultrawide monitor, specifically for watching full-size videos from any source on one half of my screen. I can't believe the solution had to come from a Chrome extension instead of Windows just allowing users to treat one monitor as two without third-party software.

Great extension that I just discovered. It does seems to have an issue with ncaa.com for March Madness. Multiple Chrome windows open - first windows will go to Windowed mode but all other windows then go full-screen when attempting Windowed.
