Review Summary
Users generally find Video Popout simple, effective, and useful for multitasking, allowing free movement and resizing of videos. However, multiple reviews point out issues such as limited or non-functional playback controls in the popout window, lack of subtitle support, resolution capped at 1080p, and the always-on-top behavior which can interfere with other windows. Some incompatibility with certain video providers and occasional video loading problems were also noted.
