Always on top option for video

Would be super useful to have an option to make a video embedded into any page (youtube, vimeo) break out from its page and have it in always on top mode.

 

What would you say?

    Hi,

    what you are describing is picture in picture (PiP) which is available in Edge.

     

    you need to enable these 2 flags: (paste these in your browser address bar)

     

    edge://flags/#global-media-controls

    edge://flags/#global-media-controls-picture-in-picture

     

    and then restart browser.

    now go to YouTube or any other website that plays video/audio. on the top right you will see this button

     

     

    and then click on this button

     

     

    then you will get a Picture-in-Picture mode that is always on top of other applications and can be moved anywhere on the screen.

      Hey HotCakeX,

       

      Thanks for pointing it out! It looks good, do you by any chance know if there is any thread to leave feedback for the feature?
