FloatTube
A floating player for YouTube
Only for Mac
$2.99
Mac
Watch videos while reading comments.
Enhanced Picture-in-Picture, with native PiP also supporting YouTube subtitles.
Optional automatic PiP, similar to Arc browser.
After installing, open any YouTube video page — when you scroll down and the original video goes out of view, an in-page floating mini player automatically appears.
Unlike Picture-in-Picture, this player stays within the YouTube page, letting you keep watching while reading comments or browsing related content — no need to scroll back up.
You can drag, resize, and control it just like the original player.
It also supports YouTube's CC subtitles and even special caption effects, so you never miss a detail.
