Overview

Free and open source: [https://github.com/apotenza92/chrome-auto-pip](https://github.com/apotenza92/chrome-auto-pip)

IMPORTANT (REQUIRED):
This extension requires a Chrome/Chromium flag to work:
1. Go to about://flags and search for auto-picture-in-picture-for-video-playback
2. Set it to Enabled
3. Restart your browser

Automatically enables Picture-in-Picture when switching tabs (similar to Arc/Firefox/Zen behaviour), with one-click manual PiP from the toolbar.

Default behaviour for new installs:
- Auto PiP on Tab Switch: On

This extension focuses on tab switching only. Window/App Switch Auto PiP modes were removed in version 1.7.0 because they were inconsistent across platforms and difficult to maintain reliably.

Includes a disabled-sites list so you can exclude specific domains from auto-PiP.

Google Meet and other conferencing apps are disabled by default because automatic PiP can conflict with meeting controls and expected call behaviour. You can manage disabled sites in Extension Options.

Includes one-click manual PiP from the extension icon.
