How does picture-in-picture work in Chrome?
Chrome has built-in picture-in-picture functionality that lets you watch a video on top of your other tabs – no extension required. With picture-in-picture, videos appear in a smaller window on the tab you’re browsing, with a limited set of controls, allowing you to play, pause, and more.
To use picture-in-picture on a computer, start by playing a video in Chrome. At the top of the screen, near your profile icon, click the Media Controls icon. In the dropdown that opens, click the Enter picture-in-picture icon in the top-right corner. This will open a small window that you can position on your screen as you’d like. For more information about picture-in-picture on computers, see Google Chrome Help.
Picture-in-picture also works for YouTube videos on mobile devices. If you have picture-in-picture turned on, videos that you play from the YouTube app will shrink down to a picture-in-picture window as you navigate to other apps. For more information, and to learn how to turn picture-in-picture on and off, see YouTube Help.
What is reading mode?
Chrome’s reading mode – sometimes referred to as reader mode or read mode – is a way to customize your reading experience to focus better and see text more clearly. It even allows you to hear the text read out loud.
To learn how to turn reading mode on and adjust the settings, see Google Chrome Help.
Does Chrome have a price tracker?
Yes – Chrome has built-in price tracking that checks for price drops on products you’re interested in – though availability varies by region.
For availability and instructions for your device, see Google Chrome Help.
