      @andrew84 It works kinda but not the same as next on youtube closes the floating window and you have to go to the tab back again to select video pop out.

        Early I used the tool Picture-in-picture and general screen still play video. Why did you remove that? And can i get back both screen playing video?

          @Bigshot I found this workaround while reading the Opera blog.
          I checked it in the last Stable version and at least here(Win8.1x64) it works like previously and as expected ('next video' button doesn't close the popup)

            How do I change those settings..
            I've tried opera://flags/ and it does not work.


            Never mind.. I got it.. it's about://flags
            thanks.

              @andrew84 On my windows 10 it does close the pop up. It's not as smooth anymore!

                @Bigshot Mine works great.. like before.. no issues disabling those two flags. I watch the news on my 2nd monitor live stream and it's been playing for hours.. no issues.

                    Subtitles do not show up on Youtube videos when a small video pop up is opened. And it keeps resetting to the corner every time a new video is opened. The previous version had better options.

                        Hi @alexiures, @pete8475. @point-j, @xandrya, @wfpl.
                        You can bring back the old video pop-out, just follow the steps:
                        1. Go to opera:flags, and switch to "Disabled" two flags:
                        - opera:flags#video-pop-out-surface-layers ,
                        - opera:flags#enable-surfaces-for-videos .
                        2. Restart the Opera - this is necessary to apply the change.

                          go to opera://flags and search for these two:

                          • Use surface layers in Video Pop-out
                          • Enable the use of SurfaceLayer objects for videos

                          Disable it, and the old popout player will be back, including resize

                                My version: 66.0.3515.36
                                The Picture in Picture works suddenly weirdly:

                                • I cannot enlarge the PiP beyond some size (previously possible)
                                • Grabbing it by the corner sometimes make it disappear, as if minimized into the right upper corner
                                • Moving it enlarges the area to the size of the monitor with black strips on each side

                                All of this makes this almost unusable on my desktop.
                                Why, Opera, why?

                                Is there anything I can do to make it behave as it was before?

                                    After the update, changing the volume level is inconvenient, because when you go back to the tab, where the volume control, Video in Window closes
