Extension Metadata

About this extension
AutoPiP automatically enters Picture-in-Picture mode whenever you leave a tab with a playing video — and closes it when you come back. No clicks needed.

Features:
• Smart video detection — picks the largest playing video, ignores muted ads
• Keyboard shortcut — press Alt+P to toggle PiP instantly at any time
• Mute tab in PiP — optionally silence the tab while PiP is open
• Whitelist / Blacklist — restrict AutoPiP to specific sites, or exclude domains
• SPA support — works on YouTube, Twitch, Vimeo without page reloads
• Adjustable delay — configure how quickly PiP activates after switching tabs
• Minimum video size — ignore small embedded videos
• Brave / strict mode — manual PiP trigger button for browsers with strict
tab-switch protection

Supported sites: YouTube, Twitch, Vimeo, Udemy, and any site using HTML5
<video>.

Note: Sites using DRM (Netflix, Disney+) block Picture-in-Picture at the
browser level — this is a browser limitation, not a bug.

Privacy: AutoPiP collects zero data. No analytics, no network requests, no
tracking. Everything runs locally in your browser.

Open source: https://github.com/AntoineVassort/autopip
Developer comments
This extension automatically activates Picture-in-Picture mode on any HTML5 <video> element when the user switches tabs or minimizes the window, and exits PiP when they return.
