Follow these steps to customize the size, opacity, and content of your floating window. Then, activate this feature from the Control Center and enjoy watching your favorite videos in a new window. After enabling this feature, you can choose its size and opacity from the Control Center. Now, you can enjoy watching YouTube videos without turning on your screen!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Customize_the_size_opacity_and_content_of_a_floating_window_on_YouTube\"><\/span>Customize the size, opacity, and content of a floating window on YouTube<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you want to minimize the size, opacity, and contents of a floating window on YouTube, you can disable the built-in slider and go to the app&#8217;s Settings menu. Next, tap the Floating Apps option in the left-hand sidebar. To enable the floating feature, tap the Enable floating icon in the bottom-left corner. In the Floating Apps menu, you can also customize the size, opacity, and content of the window.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Watch_YouTube_videos_in_a_floating_window_without_turning_on_the_screen\"><\/span>Watch YouTube videos in a floating window without turning on the screen<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you want to watch a video on YouTube without having to turn on the screen, there is an easy way to do it. The right-click menu will give you the option to choose &#8220;Picture in Picture.&#8221; This feature will display the video in the lower-right corner of your screen, and you can move it to a different part of your screen if you prefer. You can also double-click the player window and drag it anywhere on the screen.<\/p>\n<p>To do this, you need to install the YouTube extension. The extension will allow you to watch videos on YouTube outside of the site. To do so, click on the extension icon that appears next to the navigation bar. The video will then play in a floating window, or in Picture-in-Picture mode. It&#8217;s a really useful feature if you want to watch YouTube videos on a smaller screen.<\/p>\n<p>You can also watch YouTube videos by downloading the Telegram app, which will open in a floating window. Once you&#8217;ve installed the app, you can paste a YouTube link into the floating window. To play YouTube videos in a floating window, you need to enable floating window mode. Besides, you can also play the audio from a YouTube video using Newpipe. While the video is playing in the background, you can easily adjust its volume by adjusting the audio level or muting the video audio.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Activate_the_feature_from_the_Control_Center\"><\/span>Activate the feature from the Control Center<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re a Chrome user, you can enable the floating window feature in the Control Center. Once enabled, you&#8217;ll be able to position the YouTube window wherever you want on the screen, with full access to the controls on the YouTube window. However, it&#8217;s worth noting that the floating window will be a little smaller than the main window, so moving it around may cause the video to stop playing or restart.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re a YouTube fan, you may have tried the floating window feature. This is a way for you to watch videos while other apps are open on your screen, without losing focus. While watching a video, you can still use keyboard shortcuts to move the window to a different area of the screen. However, it won&#8217;t stay open when you switch apps. If you want to switch apps, you must drag the floating window to a different area of the screen.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re a Premium user of YouTube, you can also enable the Picture in Picture feature. To enable this feature, simply swipe up from the bottom of your screen while watching a video. You&#8217;ll see a floating window containing a video player with controls for sound and quality, closed captioning, and full screen. This feature is currently only available for Premium users, but will roll out to everyone gradually.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe frameborder=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9TFV_-yxIhk\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" height=\"235\" width=\"420\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Enable a Floating Window on YouTube Having trouble watching videos in the YouTube floating window?
