Reviews & Comments of Always Video ᴴᴷ - Beta ( PiP Automation ) chrome extension

Doesn't work well on youtube: at 1st it starts ok, but when switching back to the youtube tab it disappears and doesn't reappear when switching to other tabs unless changing between normal and theater mode in the youtube player. Pausing and unpausing the video does not re-initialize PiP. On twitch it doesn't work at all (although it's menu recognizes that a video is being played there).

It works, but I have to switch Theater "mode" to Default "mode" to get it to work in YouTube when switching to another tab. Also, I have to switch the two "modes" again for it to work after I close the PIP. (I haven't tested if my other extensions are causing the issues)

It doesn't work

Great extension to have! Can't wait for further dev improvment to the extension

Please add site blacklist/whitelist features!! It's extremely necessary

works like a dream. brilliant execution

Wish it also worked under ChromeOS. As of this review it does not, it either does nothing or crashes Chrome.

Wish there was an option to add a shortcut to enable and disable pip instead of just opening the extension.

i love it , but sometime its doesn't work

Loved it. I would like to choose whether I want the PiP to be activated when switching apps or not. It used to be the case that PiP would be activated in this case but then it got updated and it wouldnt do it.

Provides what it says it does: PiP automation. Loved the ability to automate PiP when switching tabs, but I find this automation unnecessary when switching to another application, as I use two monitors, such that even if I swap applications, I can still see the video. Additional customizability would make this really usable, as well as the concern of extra permissions that it doesn't seem it needs.

Why does it collect browsing data? other permissions also sound very fishy

wowowowwowowowowwowowo super niceeeeee

sometimes it causes chrome to crash. for example, it sometimes plays main video and pip at the same time, and when i close the pip window, it crashes chrome. please fix this. if you want more info on how i got into this double player situation, let me know, i will try to investigate. plz reply ehn you fix it...TIA edit: PLESE FIX THAT BUG ASAP. IT CRASHES CHROME.

Edit: I found a problem. While using 2 displays, I am watching a video in one display using chrome, but when I click on my second monitor (running chrome as well), the video goes on PIP mode. I don't know if this is fixable but at least I can report it here. There needs to be a detection for when using chrome in anther window so it doesn't go in PIP mode then. I have thought of the concept but didn't find any extension as of summer 2019. Today, I thought that maybe someone could have made this extension and sure enough you did! It works like a charm! Thanks, this should be built in the browser if you ask me. Till then, I will enjoy your extension!

Yo I was thinking about how cool it would be if pip on pc was automatic like android and to find out someone has already made a script with such functionality is amazing. This is so underrated, thanks man.

Outstanding work perfectly
