Description
PiPPlay is a lightweight Chrome extension that keeps YouTube in an always-on-top floating mini player while you work, study, design, code, or browse. Control playback, seek, volume, speed, captions, and more without constantly switching tabs. PiPPlay is free, requires no account, has no ads, and doesn't send your viewing activity to a PiPPlay backend. Just open YouTube, launch PiPPlay, and keep going.
