Hi there media mavens! With music and videos dominating the web, Opera allows you to make them your focal point, independent from webpages, with autonomous floating modules. Studying hard?

This feature is not as necessary as playing videos at all and with their original quality. In YouTube, too many videos do not play in Opera at all or play with a very low resolution.

@leocg I have three computers with Opera installed and in none of them, videos play fine. Outside of YouTube, normally no video plays at all in Opera.

I meant you cannot have the floating video window from Facebook videos, the video popup icon is not shown on Facebook videos, only the lucid mode icon

@pro744 Yes, the sidebar media player includes YouTube Music. However, the available services may vary depending on the region.

Please, do not fade video popup player while the mouse is over it. If you constantly keep the mouse over the player and click on the timeline to search for something - it is very hard to see what is happening on the screen because it is faded out.

@leocg I did. The approach is not simple enough and does not want me to prefer Opera to Firefox or Chrome as I need to take some extra steps. In addition, that thread did not help me as only some videos were playing in a higher resolution afterwards but videos outside YouTube not at all. It seems that Opera has too many parts missing in comparison to the mentioned browsers.
