      @Bigshot I found this workaround while reading the Opera blog.
      I checked it in the last Stable version and at least here(Win8.1x64) it works like previously and as expected ('next video' button doesn't close the popup)

          @andrew84 On my windows 10 it does close the pop up. It's not as smooth anymore!

            @Bigshot Mine works great.. like before.. no issues disabling those two flags. I watch the news on my 2nd monitor live stream and it's been playing for hours.. no issues.

                Subtitles do not show up on Youtube videos when a small video pop up is opened. And it keeps resetting to the corner every time a new video is opened. The previous version had better options.

                    Hi @alexiures, @pete8475. @point-j, @xandrya, @wfpl.
                    You can bring back the old video pop-out, just follow the steps:
                    1. Go to opera:flags, and switch to "Disabled" two flags:
                    - opera:flags#video-pop-out-surface-layers ,
                    - opera:flags#enable-surfaces-for-videos .
                    2. Restart the Opera - this is necessary to apply the change.

                      go to opera://flags and search for these two:

                      • Use surface layers in Video Pop-out
                      • Enable the use of SurfaceLayer objects for videos

                      Disable it, and the old popout player will be back, including resize

                            My version: 66.0.3515.36
                            The Picture in Picture works suddenly weirdly:

                            • I cannot enlarge the PiP beyond some size (previously possible)
                            • Grabbing it by the corner sometimes make it disappear, as if minimized into the right upper corner
                            • Moving it enlarges the area to the size of the monitor with black strips on each side

                            All of this makes this almost unusable on my desktop.
                            Why, Opera, why?

                            Is there anything I can do to make it behave as it was before?

                                After the update, changing the volume level is inconvenient, because when you go back to the tab, where the volume control, Video in Window closes

                                          Official answer from Opera.

                                          Dear User,
                                          Thank you for reply and screenshots.
                                          This behavior is correct - when using Picture In Picture, the source picture become black. This behavior will helps save resources and reduces the CPU load when watching a video.
                                          Best Regards, Opera QA Team

                                          😧

                                            I am facing a weird issue in Opera 66.0.3515.44. I don't have anymore the control buttons while playing videos in picture-in-picture mode! Before I had the 'Go back', 'Go next', 'Stop' buttons but they are not available anymore. Now, the only available button is 'Back to tab' button.

                                            Is this removed by default or something else ?
