Overview

Take full control of any video with Shorts PiP Controller!

Want to watch a video while working in another tab? Shorts PiP Controller lets you pop out any video into a floating Picture-in-Picture window with one click — not just YouTube Shorts, but regular YouTube videos and videos on third-party sites as well.

For YouTube Shorts, there's more: switch to the next or previous Short by scrolling your mouse wheel from any other website!

🎬 PiP FOR ANY VIDEO:
• Hover over any video on any site — a PiP button appears.
• Click it to open the video in a floating window on top of all apps.
• Works on YouTube, streaming sites, and anywhere with HTML5 video.
• "PiP this tab" button in the extension menu is another quick way to launch PiP.

📱 YOUTUBE SHORTS:
• Picture-in-Picture mode: watch Shorts on top of all windows — perfect for multitasking.
• Global scroll navigator: scroll your mouse wheel on any open site, and Shorts will automatically switch in the background tab.
• Smart auto-switch: set a timer and the extension will switch Shorts at a given interval.

⚙️ SETTINGS:
• Modifier keys for global scroll: Alt, Shift, or Alt+Shift.
• Configurable auto-switch interval (3–120 seconds).
• Clean popup menu with sections: "Any video", "YouTube Shorts", "Scroll control".

🛠 HOW IT WORKS:
1. On any site: hover over a video → click the PiP button.
2. For YouTube Shorts: open a Short → click the PiP button in the player.
3. Switch to another tab or app.
4. Scroll your mouse wheel (Alt+Scroll) on any site to switch Shorts in the background!
