      Yes i love this "floating player" too. And yes, its broke at last uupdate.
      disfunction too:
      can't move to the next, floating player darkens on mouse over!(Why???), the main video is not visible!(Why???), sound is not adjusted.
      before i just click on the small window to stop the video. Now I'm trying to "click the icon"(WHY ???? ) and now i can`t maximise the floating player about half my 2k monitor.

      I'm very seriously disappointed. This is my favorite feature in opera.

          For the complains

          If I'm not mistaken,

          They will build up the features uppon Chromium's PIP version since they had some kind of problems on their own PIP version.

            @zalex108 Basically a change in Chromium broke Opera's video pop-out and now they are having to move to Chromium solution.

                It seems that in latest Dev build the #enable-surfaces-for-videos flag was removed. So we need to hope that they will implement the controls on the new popup before the 68 version hits Stable channel.

                  HI, is there a way how I can downgrade the pop out feature to it's previous form, or could you tell me which version of Opera do I need to get back to the old way this feature worked? thanks.

                      I second all the complaints about video pop out update.

                      Although setting via flags works, it is far from good user experience. I use pop out on multiple screens and powerful machine where higher CPU utilization is not a problem. I use Opera mainly for playing videos while working and built in - usable - pop out is the single feature why I didn't switch to any other browser.

                      Please provide user friendly setting and let users CHOOSE between user experience and power consumption.

                        @leocg Found problem in Opera Dev 68.0.3581.0

                        pip works while the flag is @ default or enabled

                        opera://flags/#video-pop-out-surface-layers
                        21a37a0e-cbdd-4d41-8c2a-07245adb1231-image.png

                        Flag is called - (Use surface layers in Video Pop-out)

                        But when the flag is disabled to get the old pip back..
                        443ddc3a-d24c-4d6e-9298-86648c2d24f4-image.png

                        the popout is black screen sound works
                        4d5e6505-20e2-4fa7-8469-67050a7639c3-image.png
                        Note - Opera Stable 66.0.3515.44 pip old style works fine with the flag disabled..
                        2dbb5af3-b538-4a5f-9247-6d12ea91bb70-image.png

                        So Opera Dev still has problem

                          @nvmjustagirl read the topic. To get the old pop-up working without issues(freezes) two flags must be disabled. In latest Dev build one of the flags is removed and it's impossible to use the old pop-up there anymore.

                            @andrew84 You are right the dev flag (Enable the use of SurfaceLayer objects for videos) is gone..

                            But in Opera Stable 66.0.3515.44 the only flag that needs to be disabled is - (Use surface layers in Video Pop-out

                            so ya wrong about both flags..

                            try it and ya will see this flag - (Enable the use of SurfaceLayer objects for videos)

                            can be set @ default/enabled or disabled and the old pip still works

                            so since the 1 flag works in stable w/o 2nd flag being set

                            the Dev should work also with the one flag

                              @nvmjustagirl I tried already and video just stops playing here (Win8x64).
                              And this is not my idea about the two flags.

                                @andrew84 hopeful Dev Team will pay better Attention to this (win 10 here)

                                as ya can see in last pic above stable works fine with the one flag disabled

                                  @nvmjustagirl said in No sound bar and resize option in Video Pop-up:

                                  see

                                  See what? That the old pop-up has issues? I think that they don't care about the old pop-pup anymore and it will be removed completely soon because of conflicting with new Chromium versions. That's why they enabled the new pop-up (which is Chromium's default PiP). I understand that this is not their fault, but it is one of the main Opera features (old and trusted feature) and they could first restyle it (add volume controls, timing and etc.) and then release. Instead of doing that they implement Workspaces, Sidebar's sliding settings panel and other things.

                                      I still don't understand what the point is of the new pop-out.

                                        The point is pretty simple. Old pop-out conflicts with new versions of Chromium.

                                          Basically the switch to Chromium PIP is the fix for that and some other problems.
