There are times when you want to watch an interesting video on YouTube. But, your assignments or presentations are pending, so you end up compromising one of them. The good thing is that there is no need to compromise your favorite videos as you can watch them while working with your assignment.

In this article, we will discuss the Youtube Mini player, which will ease this task and allow you to watch a movie on YouTube while browsing other tabs.

What Is Mini-Player Mode On YouTube? (For Browsing YouTube Only)

Youtube also offers its users a small Mini Mode, which allows them to use it in a minimized window. But there is a restriction; if you change the tab, then the minimized screen won’t work. So to ease this process now, websites use the Picture to Picture extension, which allows users to reduce the player and keep watching the video even if they change tabs.

You can easily access the minimize screen on Youtube by clicking on the small box button present at the bottom of the player labeled MiniPlayer.

How To Watch YouTube Videos While Using Other Tabs?

Follow the steps listed below to watch YouTube videos while using other tabs.

• Open your browser and search for an extension titled Picture to Picture.
• Click on the first link in the search results and download the extension in your browser.

• The extension will start the download, and when the extension is downloaded, this will change the downloading option to Remove from Chrome.

• Now open YouTube on your browser and play the video you want to watch in a mini player.

• Now right-click on the player and look for the Picture to Picture option. If it is not available, then right-click on the vacant region at the bottom of the mini-player.
• Now click on the Picture to Picture option visible.
