<![CDATA[Floating media player in Opera 117]]>Hi everyone,
I read on Opera’s official pages that it’s possible to move the media player between panels or even detach it as a separate window. However, in Opera 117 this option doesn’t seem to work on my system. Has anyone else encountered this issue? Was this functionality intentionally disabled, or could it be a temporary bug?

Looking forward to your feedback and any insights from the team or fellow users.

Thanks in advance!

Likely a bug or undocumented change.

Troubleshooting:

-Update Opera.
-Test in a clean profile.
-Check Opera forums/bug tracker.
-Report the bug.
-Check Opera GX.

So the miniplayer can be moved or pinned to the toolbar.
