@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
