            Since the update to Opera 66, the video pop-up windows does not have the volume slider anymore. I appreciate that it has the return to tab option, but the volume control directly from the pop-up window was a great feature. Please bring it back with the next update.

            ALSO, the pop-up windows has a limited resize option.......just ....why ??? Why the drastic downgrade in features and freedom.

            Would love for you to bring those options back for the users. Thank you.

              @alexiures That feature is pretty much useless now.

                Hello, Kindly bring back volume, title and navigations controls. Don't go the google/firefox way that's why I stuck with the browser....Now not so much a fan.

                  Totally second this. They screwed up by removing all controls.

                  With the old PiP layout you could go to the previous or next song in a YouTube playlist, you also had the title of the video in there, you could also control the volume from the PiP window. they just screwed it all up with the new layout without controls, why would I use Opera then?
                  I get the same in Firefox with the addition that in FF you can enable the volume toggle to mute the video.

                    Hi..
                    I noticed the latest Opera update has removed the volume option on the PIP window... why?
                    This is very useful to have.. why remove it?

                    I have a couple of monitors and like to have videos playing in one monitor using PIP while I do something else on the other.....if I need to lower the volume or mute it, it used to be done right on the PIP window... well, not anymore... it's been removed.. now I have to go to the main tab in order to control the volume of that specific video.... Please give us back the old PIP player!

                    Thank you.

                      It's essentially useless now and I've stopped using it.

                      I used to use the video pop-out on a daily basis too!

                        Me too.. this is what basically separated Opera from other browsers and is the main reason I prevented me from switching over to the new Edge which uses exactly the same pip player like the new version in Opera...

                        If Opera does not switch back, I will definitely be switching over to Edge since Opera at this moment has literally no more advantage over it.

                          Yes, please bring back the old player or add back the removed controls. It was THE reason for me to keep on using opera.

                            As a workaround disable these 2 flags and the old popup will be back.

                                  @andrew84 It works kinda but not the same as next on youtube closes the floating window and you have to go to the tab back again to select video pop out.

                                    Early I used the tool Picture-in-picture and general screen still play video. Why did you remove that? And can i get back both screen playing video?

                                      @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)

                                        How do I change those settings..
                                        I've tried opera://flags/ and it does not work.


                                        Never mind.. I got it.. it's about://flags
                                        thanks.

                                          @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.
