          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 ?

              @rajmondburgaj Did opera remove playing picture-in-picture video controls ?

                    @nvmjustagirl If they are going to follow chrome then why would we need a second chrome :p, but honestly if this does not work well I am ditching opera. There are so many other alternatives competing with it. I see it as a very stupid move to disable one of the best features opera had.

                            So Opera auto updated this afternoon and thought nothing of it... until I opened a YouTube video to watch as I work on homework and i really dont like the new one. You have to go back to the main tab to adjust video volume, can only pause in the middle, the button to jump back to tab is moved to the bottom, i cant watch the video in the main tab if i have the pop out active, and most of all, it makes a new opera window on my taskbar that makes it a bit more annoying to click into opera.

                            is there a way to change it back, or revert to an older version of opera?

                            thanks for reading, best wishes

                            -John D

                                  @wfpl Mine does not become black.. both the main source and pip window play the video at the same time.

                                    The new version made a bad PIP mode. Now there is no copy of the video in the main window. It was convenient to keep an additional picture on the second screen and at the same time you can watch in the main window. It was also possible to increase an additional window in any size, now it does not work.Now it is not possible to make a large size. This PIP mode was one of the first for your innovation and worked perfectly. Now you took it from Chrome, and you did it badly! Now your browser is no different from other browsers. I am very saddened.

                                      I am using the latest x64 Windows version.

                                      Today, all of a sudden (overnight!) I see that the video popout has changed!
                                      It now:
                                      doesn't display the video time,
                                      doesn't have volume controls,
                                      blacks the video on original site,
                                      and has limited resizability!

                                      I rolled back two versions of Opera(to 66.0.3515.36 & 66.0.3515.27), to no avail.

                                      I am really disappointed because I really liked the granular volume controls for some sites that don't have proper audio control.

                                      Please tell me how to get the old video popout back, Thanks!
