I Built a Chrome Extension That Adds Picture-in-Picture to Netflix

If you've ever tried to pop Netflix into a floating window while you work -- or just wanted to keep watching while switching tabs -- you've probably noticed that Netflix has no option to do so when on a PC or Mac. Most streaming services let you right-click a video and hit "Picture in Picture." Netflix removes that option entirely. So I built a Chrome extension for just this purpose!

Introducing Netflix PiP

Netflix PiP is a free Chrome extension that adds the Picture-in-Picture feature on Netflix. Once installed, you can float your show or movie in a small window that stays on top of everything else -- even when you switch apps or tabs.

How to Install It

Netflix PiP is now live on the Chrome Web Store.

👉 Add Netflix PiP to Chrome

Just click the link, hit Add to Chrome, and you're done. 🎉

How to Use It

Once installed, you have three ways to trigger Picture-in-Picture on Netflix:

Right-click anywhere on the Netflix page and choose "Picture in Picture"

Press Shift+P while watching

Click the Netflix PiP icon in your Chrome toolbar

The video will pop into a floating window you can drag anywhere on your screen. It stays on top even when you switch to other apps.
