Youtube Mini Player – How to Watch YouTube Videos While Surfing Other Tabs

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? (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 you change tabs.

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