fullscreen in PIP

[TsunamiZ]

In the PIP player, please add a button to toggle fullscreen, and the ability to toggle fullscreen by double clicking.

[bug reported VB-76975]

@verysimplenick That code is unrelated to Picture-in-picture.

• https://help.vivaldi.com/desktop/media/pop-out-video/ is entirely unhelpful on this matter
• looking thru v's settings, i rediscovered a keyboard shortcut that i never use, & so had forgotten; F11 to send a v window into fullscreen mode. excited, i focused my active PiP windowlet, pressed F11, & discovered yet more disappointment, coz ofc it did absolutely nothing. sigh.

i've now upvoted those existing [open] requests, but their numbers are minuscule, so linear extrapolation implies to me that we might have this missing feature [which, btw, works perfectly & is highly appreciated in firefox, just sayin'] by about the time that Old Sol goes to red dwarf status.

mutters irritably in soliloquy to herself

damnation, exactly why did i decide to spend time again in v snappie since t'other night, despite my firefox-nightly continuing to be magnificent? in addition to my decision thus causing me to forego nested tree tabs, great cookie management, multiple PiPs, & autoplay-block that actually works (gasp), i now find unfullscreenable PiPs? how silly am i?

@ybjrepnfr I don't get it. The whole point of PIP is so that you can continue browsing while keeping a video on screen. If you want fullscreen video, then you don't need to use PIP.

[matiasmovie]

such a button is useful when you want to quickly preview something in full screen, for example, something interesting is happening on live and then you can quickly return to PiP with same button without changing tabs

[ybjrepnfr]

@matiasmovie just like already in firefox.

[bluetimes]

support it.

@bluetimes Vote for the first post if you haven't already done so. (Voting again will remove your vote).

[bluetimes]

it is still any no change.unfortunately vivaldi team not work good for feedbacks

[Pesala]

@bluetimes It is a small team, and there are about 5,000 feature requests. They rarely reply in the forums. I do what I can to keep the top requests visible, but this one is well down the list of things to do.

Easy to Implement Feature Requests.

It is a useful feature for people with a two-monitor setup too. I can just put a video on PiP, drag it to my second monitor and put it in fullscreen.
