The “PIP” option doesn’t work on YouTube
I’ve been using Brave on my Android phone for a long time now and never had problems with the pip option until today. Idk what the problem is. I updated it, i cleared the cache, nothing worked. And it’s just on YouTube. Usually I’d open full screen when watching the video, click on the home button of my phone and it always worked. Im hoping for some help🙏🏻
I have the same problem, I’ve been using brave for a long time and i am very happy with the app , but today i discovered i cannot do picture in picture, i went to YouTube, choose a video, pressed the home button and it just wasn’t working anymore:-/
This is also happening for me. And ive done the same re cache and tampered with some phone and Youtube settings.
Ive noticed that, for me, PIP works when Youtube is viewed in desktop mode without the m.youtube web address.
The team is aware of this issue and looking into it presently:
This rly helped me!!! Thankyu!
Just FYI, as a temporary workaround you can switch to desktop mode and navigate to youtube.com (not m.youtube.com) and PIP should work.
This Problem is so Annoying…
Use YouTube lite website, copy & paste the youtube video link in the search bar and play the video in full screen mode and then you will see that pip video Pop out mode is working.
Doesn’t work, unfortunately.
The “team” apparently sucks. According to them they’ve been aware of this for 11 days. Good one! Now maybe do something about it
Turns out that painstakingly digging through thousands of lines of code takes considerable time, effort and skill. Further, in the case of this issue, the code involved in causing the issue was particularly complex due to the way Google implemented the code blocking the feature in the Chromium engine.
That said, it looks like a solution has already been found and they are working on it’s implementation presently.
대체 언제쯤이면 고쳐지나요 불편합니다
This temporary Desktop View workaround does work. I hope they can fix the Mobile view soon. Thanks.
Yes hoping for the fix by next update 
Hmm, it’s interesting that PIP for YouTube still works fine on iOS Brave.
But we know that this is a site specific issue because PiP works fine on every other site irrespective of the OS.
This has piqued my curiosity and I’d love to understand this issue more. Can someone tell me about the technical aspects on how youtube managed to break PiP on one OS but not the other?
when will the problem finally be solved?? 2040?
Hi all, thanks for your patience. A fix is on the way! Will update here when it’s out.
