Really nice. I am always opening new tabs in Chrome. How can I get the player to come with me as I go to a new tab?

@iemmett Sideplayer works well while switching between different website tabs, but we can’t show video on ‘new tab page’ because Chrome's ’new tab page’ acts as another extension, so there’s no possible way to show extension on extension. But we’re trying to find a work-around for this.

I'm curious, why not using a window with type 'panel' for the floating player? (This would also work outside of Chrome)

@romaincointepas I believe this window type is only available in beta & dev chrome, and will probably never make it to the release channel.

@abarreir Yep users would have to turn on chrome://flags/#enable-panels on the stable channel but UX and performance would greatly improve.

@romaincointepas Agreed, but it'd still need to support in-page iframe injection as a fallback, for users not willing to mess with flags; and I'm not sure one can programmatically detect whether the panel type is available or not..

Software does not have to be complicated - it has to work and make life easier for the user. We took the YouTube player and placed it on all the sites you'll ever visit. We know you watch a lot of YouTube videos, now you can be more productive while doing so. Let us know what you think. And on what sites are you going to use Sideplayer?

Why does this need to be granted access to what I copy and paste? Why does it need access to data on all websites if it only works with YouTube?

@theleovogel 1) Because if you copy a YouTube link, it will be automatically pasted inside Sideplayer. 2) Because in order to Sideplayer to work, it has to edit the website you’re on.

Perfect to watch tutorials and surf the web at the same time! Missing a keyboard shortcuts and HD quality.

@tristancelebi Thanks for the feedback! We’re going to add HD quality with the next update. We’ll also look into the keyboard shortcuts possibility.

I can't undestand such products. May be because I can't watch video while I google something or watching facebook timeline.

@kidinsafe It’s really good for watching tutorials. If you want to learn WordPress, you can have a WP tutorial video playing right inside your WordPress site. You don’t have to switch between two tabs. Or if you’re chatting on Facebook. While your friends are not replying to you, you can watch YouTube while staying inside Facebook. And much more. We're sure you'll find some great ways to use Sideplayer if you try it.
