Opera is one of the preferred browsers for users owing to various benefits including the built-in VPN and the low resource consumption. But there isn’t much information available on the video popout error. So, let’s find out all there’s to video pop out in Opera and the solutions if it’s not working on your computer.

How do you pop out a video on Opera?

You can easily pop out a video in Opera if the option for it appears. But, remember that the option may be missing on certain websites, though all the major ones will have it. Why is my video pop out not working? This is particularly due to a problem with the installed version of Opera. The feature was released a couple of years ago and has been receiving regular updates to make it work seamlessly across websites. Other than that, it could be a problem with the applications running on the computer or an installed extension on Opera. So, make sure to check for these, and terminate or uninstall the conflicting ones. Let’s now walk you through the fixes if the video pop out is not working in Opera.

What can I do if video pop out won’t work in Opera?

1. Check if you are trying to use it over a full-screen application

Though the Opera video pop-out should always be on top, it wouldn’t work if you were trying to use it over a full-screen application, for instance, a game. In this case, you can configure the game settings to launch it in Windowed mode. Once done, check if things start running.

2. Re-enable video pop out in Opera

Oftentimes, Opera is unable to detect that the video pop out feature is enabled due to a glitch and is therefore not working. Simply re-enabling it should do the trick.

3. Update Opera

In most cases, it was a problem with the installed version of Opera, so make sure to update the browser.

How to pop out video in Opera GX?

Opera GX is a gaming-oriented browser developed particularly for the gamers community. It offers features such as limiting the RAM, CPU, and network usage to optimize the performance. Though the process to pop out a video remains pretty much the same as that for the original Opera browser. All you have to do is open a video, and click on the Detach video icon that appears. Once the video opens in a popout player, you can resize it or reposition the player. If the video pop out option is missing, just enable the feature in Opera GX Picture-in-Picture settings. These are all the ways you can fix things if video pop out in Opera is not working. In case the problem persists, try reinstalling the browser.
