### 4/5 — Básico que funciona

*2026-03-12*

Muito bom! Utilizo para o Google Meet. Funciona, o único que não buga. Seria ótimo se aparecesse a opção de mutar direto no PiP!

### 2/5 — Button not appear

*2025-10-12, version 2.7*

The custom button doesn't appear in iOS26.

### 4/5 — Works great

*2024-09-12*

I love using this app on mac. its worked flawlessly each time ive used it. I would really love to see 30 sec skip back and forward added. as of now its just an exit pip and pause button.

### 3/5 — dedinside

*2023-10-27*

Does not work properly on ios. After I press pip mode the video slides back to yt player, fix it please.
Works perfect on mac though.

**Developer response:** Hi, thanks for the feedback! This should now work with the last releases of OverPicture.

### 4/5 — Some bugs as of late

*2023-02-07*

I overall like the UI & functionality of this extension, however, recently it started showing duplicate PiP icons in the youtube player. Often as much as 6… Needs a fix!

### 5/5 — perfect pip extention

*2022-11-29*

just hit p on any website with video and extention stays  out the way perfect

### 5/5 — Удобно

*2022-11-20*

Удобное приложение, удивительно, что такая функция не предусмотрена Safari изначально, хотя на устройствах с iOS и iPadOS данная функция есть, хоть и работает не очень стабильно. 
Спасибо!

### 4/5 — Please Add Subtitles

*2022-10-27*

Love the extension, but can't use it because the subtitles don't show in the PiP. The subtitles stay on the webpage instead. Please fix this!

### 4/5 — Great but could use something

*2022-09-02*

This app has been wonderful to use, I really rate it about 4.5 stars but I cannot do that. It works great on anything and everything I use, except that when something has subtitles( in this situation Crunchyroll), the subtitles stay on the web page and do not follow the actual video. 

This is a little frustrating but I believe something can be done about it in the future. For now, I will just have to stick to platforms that do not require subtitles.

### 3/5 — Problemas con subtitulos

*2022-04-28, version 1.12*

Funciona bien pero en sitios como Crunchyroll los subtitulos no se muestran.

### 5/5 — Best PIP Extension

*2022-04-19*

Before getting any other PIP extension on the app store get this one. It has worked flawlessly for me each time I use it. The other free alternatives didn't perform as well.

### 5/5 — Great so far, one issue

*2022-04-15*

Is it possible to get subtitles with the PiP, the subtitles doesn't get moved over with the window for some reason

### 3/5 — Need custom keyboard shortcuts option

*2022-04-06*

Some websites like Plex bings their own shortcuts and then the one from this extension doesn't work.
And the button in the custom Plex Web Player doesn't show up.

### 5/5 — супер

*2022-03-01*

как на Mac с процессором M1, так и с Intel никаких глюков замечено не было, работает без нареканий. можно менять размер окна и переносить его в любой угол экрана. работает даже при свернутом Safari поверх других приложений. я очень довольна покупкой

### 4/5 — Небольшие проблемы после обновления MacOS

*2022-02-18*

После обновления MacOS до 12 версии при растягивании окна заметны серьезные лаги. В остальном все работает как и раньше.

### 1/5 — Stupid Awful Experience

*2025-08-13, version 2.5*

Subtitles don’t appear in the small display and stay in Safari browser… stupid app

### 1/5 — Unable to work

*2024-01-31, version 2.1*

Unable to work in macOS 14.3 on youtube and bilibili

### 1/5 — DOES NOT WORK

*2023-11-13*

I had bouught it in the hope it would work on the safari pages you can doc (to create an app like situation). Well it not work there (it does not even show up) and it does not work on the proper safari either.

**Developer response:** Hi! Apple does not support running extensions in “Docked” Safari web apps unfortunately. Please contact me at app-support@pvieito.com if you have any issue with the extension in Safari. Thanks!

### 1/5 — Not working

*2022-08-12, version 1.12*

Not working on last version of MacOS

### 1/5 — Lacks crucial functionality

*2022-07-31, version 1.12*

No controls (forward, rewind) in the PiP window (why?!?!). Space does not pause/play the video. Shortcut 'P' only pops the video out, it does not then also place the video back...

This does the bare minimum: pop the video out and  resize the window. Other than that you have 2 buttons: you can pause it, or you can pop the video back into the page, BUT, you need to click these buttons... no shortcuts...

These severe shrotcomings would've been fine if it were free, or if the description would mention these limitations.

### 1/5 — Theres a free option

*2021-12-15*

Double right click on video and click the picture in picture option, save your 4 dollars ;)

### 1/5 — 2 years later and stil not working with Twitch

*2020-11-30*

2 years later and stil not working with Twitch

**Developer response:** Hi! The Twitch player blocks Picture-in-Picture mode without direct user interaction, but you can use OverPicture keyboard shortcut to force Picture-in-Picture mode. While playing a video in Twitch, simply press the P key, and the video will enter Picture-in-Picture mode.

### 1/5 — i do  not  get  it ,  does not  work as  stated,

*2019-02-21, version 1.5*

i do  not  see the   you tube  video  in  another  window

### 1/5 — Permissions: reads your passwords and credit cards

*2018-04-11*

When enabling OverPicture, it states that the app will be able to access "sensitive information from webpages, including passwords, phone numbers, and credit cards on: all webpages.” It does not give me a choice to disable this property. I want to use this app but I need a way to disable this property before I allow it access to my passwords and credit cards.

**Developer response:** Hi! OverPicture extension must access all web content to detect video players and enable Picture-in-Picture. But as any App Extension it is sandboxed by default and it is configured so it cannot share data with the network or any other app.

### 1/5 — confused

*2018-03-31*

i am clicking “enable overpicture” and nothing is happening. it brings me to the extensions tab in system preferences but there is no sign of overpicture or any way to add it. waste of money and very disappointed

**Developer response:** Hi! Safari should detect the OverPicture extension on installation but maybe you have to restart Safari.

### 5/5 — pls support macos 27 beta

*2026-06-15*

worked perfectly before the macos 27 beta update

### 5/5 — Works great

*2026-04-24, version 2.7.1*

A fantastic extension that fulfills a real need exactly as advertised. I am now able to watch YouTube videos on my desktop without clutter.

### 5/5 — Sensacional

*2026-02-15*

Utilizo meu Mac constantemente para assistir aulas e redigir meus resumos ao mesmo tempo, tendo aquela bagunça visual das telas divididas completamente resolvida! Simples e muito resolutivo! Parabéns

### 5/5 — Works! I use it daily!

*2025-09-18, version 2.6.1*

I didn’t realize how much I loved it until I had to reset the permissions after an OS update. I use this to watch YouTube and Netflix in PiP with one key press.

### 5/5 — Fast and Simple!

*2025-06-02*

There’s not a whole lot to complain about with OverPicture. Having a PiP shortcut should be something built into Safari by default, but this app gets it done!

### 5/5 — There is still use for this

*2023-06-21*

We know YouTube you can right click for Picture in Picture but there are other news site video don't have the capability to right click. This is where this app comes in use.

### 5/5 — Marche très bien

*2023-03-11, version 2.0*

Rien à dire, ca fonctionne

### 5/5 — Works great and seamless

*2023-02-15*

I really like the implementation of this with the Player button seamlessly integrating into the Youtube Player. The animation is also really nice and smooth and there is no disruption when switching back and forth

### 5/5 — A little gem every macOS should have...

*2023-01-15, version 2.0*

This is one little app that's able to CHANGE the way you use (and interact) with macOS forever!
The P button on your keyboard gets a whole new meaning in your Safari browsing... 😜

### 5/5 — Muito bom

*2022-12-03*

Funciona perfeitamente! 
Só as legendas que desaparecem... quem sabe numa numa nova versão :)
