About FloatTube — A Floating Mini Player for YouTube
A smart floating mini player for YouTube that automatically shows while you scroll and hides at the top.
FloatTube is a browser extension that delivers a smoother YouTube web viewing experience, with experimental support for Netflix and Bilibili. Watch videos while browsing comments and other on-page content. With the in-page floating player and automatic Picture-in-Picture (PiP), you can keep watching without interrupting playback.
Core features:
In-page floating player Enjoy smooth, continuous playback with the video always visible on the page.
- Appears automatically when you scroll down on a video watch page
- Drag and resize freely (trackpad pinch on Mac; mouse wheel on Windows)
- Supports captions and YouTube’s special caption effects
Automatic Picture-in-Picture (PiP) Automatically moves the playing video to Picture-in-Picture when you switch tabs.
- Shows YouTube captions in Picture-in-Picture
- Switch to system PiP during playback for continuous floating viewing
About automatic Picture-in-Picture Automatic PiP is a browser capability provided by Chrome. It requires Chrome 134 or later. A tab switch is only allowed to trigger automatic PiP when the watch page had audible sound in the past two seconds, audio is not muted or taken by the system, and the video is playing. Before triggering, FloatTube checks conditions automatically. If captions were on before switching tabs, it draws captions into PiP. For videos without captions enabled or protected by DRM, the original video enters PiP directly.
Notes:
- This extension works on YouTube video pages, with experimental support for Netflix and Bilibili.
- To show captions in PiP, enable captions on YouTube first by clicking the CC button. Shortcut: C
- After installing or updating, refresh any already-open YouTube video pages so the floating player activates correctly.
About Labs YouTube remains the primary experience, with experimental support for Netflix and Bilibili. Features may change as those sites update. To keep the core YouTube experience stable, Labs features run fully separate from main features and do not affect each other.
On Netflix, due to differences in the web player, support is mainly Picture-in-Picture, with matching captions shown in PiP when available.

Data source
Covers every Chrome Web Store extension with at least 100 users, found through the store's public sitemap. User counts are read from public listing pages. The 10% most-used extensions are refreshed daily, the next 40% weekly and the next 40% monthly; the least-used 10% are not refreshed. Google displays rounded user counts (and caps the display at 10,000,000+), so small changes may not be visible. Rating counts above 1,000 are rounded (e.g. 1.6K).
