Picture-in-picture volume control and clickable icon
Chromium browsers used to have a volume control on the PiP window, and a progress bar. These have disappeared from many of them, except Vivaldi and Opera. Adding them to Edge would be a competitive a...
Yes, volume control is a must feature to use PiP window seamlessly. Currently there is no option to quickly mute or change volume. Team, please look into this suggestion and take Edge ahead than others.
to quickly mute there is a speaker icon that appears on any tab that is producing sound
HotCakeX Here's the implementation of P-in-P on the Opera browser, for comparison.
Similar icon to Edge for muting the volume but with the volume slider immediately to the right, along with time counter. Perfect. Opera also moves the "return video to window" control to top-left on mouseover, rather than sticking it where the movement and volume controls should be.
Opera's is the best design for this feature I've seen, but I think the Edge developers can meet or exceed what they have done, and make the picture-in-picture feature truly useful.
- Yeah Edge can definitely adopt some of the features from Opera
- Or Vivaldi. The design sense of both is similar, which is not surprising since Vivaldi was founded by the previous founder of Opera, after Opera was bought by a Chinese "consortium."
I use Vivaldi as my everyday driver because I like some of their "toppings" on Chromium, but I would switch to Edge fully if it did P-in-P better and offered the auto-shrinking sidebars that Opera does.
