Hi.
This is what's happening to me right now:
I play a video, and the pop up will show up.
Then, I return to the video and go back to my work page or whatnot. Then it is not automatically poping up.
I've found that sometimes reloading or closing/reopening works but haven't found a solution (yet)

Hovering over the video tab doesn't work either, just a black rectangle appears, no image.

I have the same issue, but only on the older device... I don't get pop up videos in Opera GX on my old laptop (Win10, i7-6700HQ 2.60GHz, 8GB RAM, GeForce GTX 960M), but on my newer PC (Win11, AMD Ryzen 5 5600, 16GB RAM, GeForce RTX 3050) everything works no problem. Is this feature no longer supported on older devices? If yes, users should be notified in some way beforehand...

@Cattsy, Now back to the previous version 112.0.5197.115 and the video popups work again. I put again 113.0.5230.75 and the video popups don't work. On the same Windos, with the same updates.

@Cattsy So I just got prompted for an update to Opera adn the automatic pop-out is back, so I assume it was just that one version was bugged like @meiso-op said. (I do not know how to find out what version I'm on, sorry. I just got an update for the browser today adn the automatic pop-out worked as soon as Opera reloaded.)

@Indigo-Villin That's right, a new version was released today (17-Sep-2024) - 113.0.5230.108. The bug has been fixed in it. Very promptly, bravo Opera support!

Do you have hardware acceleration disabled by chance?

Thank you very much OperaGX, this problem does not exist, normal Opera is very bad and should be revised since I like its style.

I played around with the hardware acceleration settings (System > Use hardware acceleration when available) You can try toggling it on or off, depending on its current state.

In my case, it was disabled, and after enabling it and restarting the browser, the Picture-in-Picture feature started working again. My Opera version is 114.0.5282.185
