For me the same problem since last Opera update on Windows 10: The video pop out is not visible. Hardware acceleration is enabled.
Any other workarounds for me?

@glg11 In opera://gpu, the first section says that hardware acceleration is being used?

At first note: The video pop out feature works fine until the last update.

I tried also to reset all Opera settings now - video pop out still not working.

@ds2902 What version of Opera?

@glg11 There seems to be a driver/hardware issue or incompatibility.

@leocg
No hardware or driver change here. Only Opera was updated.
Is there a way to configure this issue so it works again like before?

Whenever I use the video-pop out feature now, it shows nothing just a black screen. The feature stopped working all of a sudden this month. Please help

@Sumitro007 Opera One or Opera GX?

The workaround already presented didn't help?

@Sumitro007 So you searched, as the rules say, and couldn't find any of the topics and posts about it?

Anyway, One or GX?

@leocg I searched but one thing I found was to revert to previous version - but that doesn't work everytime . I have the normal one Sir - Opera One

@Sumitro007 As you can see above, enable hardware acceleration and make sure it's working.

@leocg By hardware acceleration do you mean "graphic acceleration"? Turning it on did make the video pop out working again, but it caused my laptop to freeze randomly when trying to watch a video. I have to force shut down my laptop because it's completely unresponsive when it happens.

I manually turned off hardware/graphic acceleration a long time ago because I keep having this issue with various devices, so I hope there's another way to restore the video pop out without involving the graphic acceleration.

@7788um Yes, graphics acceleration

Then you will need to wait for a fix.

I was having the same issue with Picture in Picture in both Opera browsers, Opera GX and Opera. The fix that worked for me is as follows:-

1. Go to opera://flags
2. Search for Video
3. Disable Video Popout Redesign
   Hope it works for you too.
