Watch YouTube in a floating, movable, resizable mini-window while you work on other sites.

If you learn from YouTube tutorials while coding, you know the pain: watch, switch tabs, type, switch back, lose your place, repeat.

That's why we built YouTube All Around, a Firefox extension that keeps your video on screen while you work.

Before and after: switching tabs vs. a video that follows you

What it does

It lets you watch YouTube videos in a floating, movable, resizable mini-window while you browse other websites or work on other tasks. No more constant tab switching.

A floating video window that stays on top while you browse

Key features

  • Floating video window: stays visible while you browse other sites
  • Move anywhere: drag it to whatever corner of the screen suits you
  • Resizable: make it as big or small as you need
  • Control panel: change volume, quality, playback speed, and captions from the toolbar icon

Dragging the video window to any corner of the screen

How to use it

  1. Open a YouTube video and hover over it. A small Picture-in-Picture button appears at the edge of the video. Click it.
  2. Switch to any other tab. Keep the original YouTube tab open, because it's the one that runs the video.
  3. Click the extension icon in the toolbar to open the control panel and adjust volume, quality, speed, or captions.

Who is it for?

  • Developers following coding tutorials next to their editor or docs
  • Students watching lectures while taking notes
  • Anyone who wants a podcast or any video running in the corner while they work
