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.

  • Allows resizing and moving of the popout video window freely.
  • Supports multitasking by keeping video always on top and enabling viewing while working.

Cons

  • Play and pause controls don't work within the popout window or are limited, reducing usability.

  • Maximum video resolution limited to 1080p, not fully utilizing higher resolution monitors.
