Chrome extension · Picture-in-Picture

Watch while you work. One click to Picture‑in‑Picture.

MatrixInn PiP adds a small button to video players, so you can pop any video into a floating Picture-in-Picture window and keep browsing. It can also start PiP when you switch tabs, and Alt+P does it from the keyboard.

Features

Picture-in-Picture without the hunting

One-click PiP button

Hover over a video and a PiP button appears, even on players with their own overlay. Click it and the video moves into a floating window that stays on top.

Auto-PiP on tab switch

Turn it on and a playing video goes into Picture-in-Picture by itself when you leave the tab. Paused videos stay where they are.

Alt+P shortcut

Press Alt+P to open the video that is playing (or the largest one) in Picture-in-Picture, even when the player sits inside an embedded frame.

Works where PiP is switched off

Some sites turn off the browser's own PiP option. The extension switches it back on for the video you choose.

A simple popup

The toolbar popup shows how many videos are on the page, a button for the largest one and the Auto-PiP switch.

Light and private

It is small and fast, keeps your settings in your own browser and does not collect or send your data.

FAQ

Common questions

Is MatrixInn PiP free?
Yes. It is free on the Chrome Web Store, with no account and no ads.
Which websites does it work on?
Most websites with an HTML5 video player, such as YouTube and many streaming and course sites. A few players block it in ways an extension cannot change.
What does Auto-PiP do?
When it is switched on in the popup, the playing video goes into Picture-in-Picture automatically as soon as you switch to another tab.
Does it work in Firefox?
No. Firefox does not give extensions the Picture-in-Picture feature that Chrome does, so the extension is for Chrome.
Does the extension collect my data?
No. It does not collect or send your browsing data. Your settings are stored in your own browser.
