Pop-out video in Vivaldi on iOS

Pop-out Video, aka Picture-in-Picture, is a popular feature on desktop, but did you know it’s also available on Android and iOS? The main difference is that, on your mobile device, you can’t browse other tabs in Vivaldi while Pop-out Video is enabled, but you can use most other apps.

Enable Pop-out Video on iOS

  1. While browsing with Vivaldi, find a video you want to watch.
  2. Press play and enable full-screen view of the video.
  3. Go to your phone’s home screen.

The video will continue playing in a small rectangle on your home screen. You can move the video by dragging it around and use the two-finger zoom gesture to change the size of the video.

Tap on the rectangle to see video controls. Pop-out Video includes controls for:

  • Pausing the video.
  • Fast forwarding or rewinding the video by 10 seconds.
  • Closing the popped-out video.
  • Returning to the main window.

Due to restrictions set by Google, the feature may unfortunately not work on YouTube’s website.
