Opera pop out video - picture in picture video is not a separate windows anymore so it's impossible to record something using OBS window recorder like in Edge or Chrome, is there way to get back pop out video to be separate window again like it used to be?

Opera only shows one window instead of second dedicated windows for pop out

@mixchild Nothing has changed on video pop-out as far as I know.

@leocg as @andrew84 said Original Opera's pop-out was opening without extra window in the taskbar, after switching to Chrome's popup there was new window creating after detaching video. But recently the pop-out started to open without the extra window.

Is there a way to revert to original pop out with extra window?

@mixchild I noticed it after opera one R2 unveling

Personally, I prefer the video popu-out without extra window. But taking into account that the video popup looks spoiled to me after refreshing (at least in Developer), I don't care much how it opens because I don't use it (along with the One version in general).

@mixchild I mean that Opera didn't deliberated changed it, at least as far as I know.

Last time I've checked, it was still creating "another window", but I'll recheck later.

@leocg Just checked and the "second window" is not being created.

@leocg renders browsers unusable for OBS window streaming/recording and similar processes

I definitely would be glad to have it as a separate window. Or at least have "feature flag" that allows me to do so.

@mixchild have you found the way to fix it?

Used to be able to stream youtube videos properly to discord, as this change has happened it's not possible anymore. I also use an app to resize windows to a proper size (using fancyzones), and that also doesn't work anymore due to it not being it's own window.

Did anyone find a fix?

Exactly same use case. Bringing attention to this issue.

I would like to add to this thread. Picture in Picture used to have a separate window and this allowed me to stream it to discord and OBS. Picture in Picture was a huge reason for me to use opera, and without being able to stream it, it forces me to use chrome. It is very unfortunate and this should be seen as a bug. I don't see any reason as to why it wouldn't be a separate window especially when it was before. This began a couple months ago for me.

please fix bro
