Control YouTube video playback in background tabs Overview Auto PiP for YouTube™ - Video Controller helps you enjoy YouTube videos without interruptions. When you switch tabs, it automatically pauses the video or switches to Picture-in-Picture (PiP) mode, so you can multitask without missing any content. Key Features Instant Video Pause Quickly pauses the currently playing video when you switch tabs, so you never miss important moments. Picture-in-Picture Mode Automatically switches the video to a floating PiP window when you change tabs, allowing you to continue watching while browsing other pages.* User-Friendly Interface A simple and intuitive popup lets you choose your preferred option with minimal effort. Customizable Behavior Select your default action (Pause or PiP) to match your viewing habits. Notes This extension is designed exclusively for YouTube. It does not support YouTube Shorts or other video platforms. * Due to Chrome’s security policies, automatic PiP activation can only occur once per user interaction. After that, the video will not automatically switch to PiP again unless you interact with it. To re-enable automatic PiP, pause the video and then resume playback.
