For multitaskersKeep the video on. Get back to work.
Pip Cue floats any YouTube video on top of your screen with full controls, captions, and the playback speed you want. Three picture- in-picture modes. One keystroke each. Free.
Three modes for three kinds of work
Pick the picture-in-picture that fits the moment. Switch any time.
Standard PiP
⌥⇧PChrome's native floating window. Works on every video, everywhere. Best when you just want the video on top, no controls in the way.
You're watching something background — keep it simple, keep it floating.
Cinematic PiP
⌥⇧MA custom floating window with scrub bar, ±10s skip, speed (0.25-2x), captions overlay, save button, and A-B loop. The full player, on top.
You need to scrub, slow it down, or save the moment without going back to the tab.
Captions Only
⌥⇧CA small subtitle-only window. No video. Read the captions while you work — perfect for podcasts, interviews, and lectures you only need to listen to.
You'd rather read while you code or write. The audio plays, the captions float.
Cinematic PiPThe full player, on top of your work.
Cinematic PiP gives you a real player in a floating window — scrub bar, ±10s skip, captions, speed, save, and A-B loop — without ever leaving the tab you're working in.
- Always on top, draggable, resizable
- Captions visible inside the floating window
- Skip back 10 seconds with ←
- Esc closes it
How multitaskers use it
Watching a podcast while coding
Run Captions Only on top of your editor. Audio plays in the background; captions catch the things you missed.
Following a tutorial while you build
Cinematic PiP next to your IDE. Scrub back ten seconds when you need to re-watch a step.
Lecture on top of your notes
Standard PiP keeps the speaker visible while you type into your doc. Tab to your notes, video stays put.
Auto-PiP when you switch tabs
Flip the toggle once and Pip Cue automatically pops the current video into picture-in-picture whenever you change tabs. Switch back and it returns to the page. Never on by default — you opt in from the popup or right-click menu.
