About this plugin
Tino631 Floating Video floats a playing video into a corner when its original position scrolls above the viewport. Scroll back and it returns to the page. The original video element stays in place in the document: Tino631 Floating Video does not clone it, reparent it, or change its source when docking.
- HTML5 videos with controls, including WordPress Video blocks and standard MediaElement players.
- Optional YouTube, YouTube privacy-enhanced, and Vimeo integrations.
- Four screen corners, adjustable width and spacing, and opt-in mobile support.
- A single floating player at a time, with the most recently started eligible video taking priority.
- Keyboard-accessible Back to video and Close controls. Escape closes when focus is inside the floating player or its controls.
- Closing pauses playback and disables floating for that video for the rest of the page visit.
- No autoplay, analytics, advertising, accounts, or paid service required by Tino631 Floating Video.
- Dynamic HTML5 videos and supported API-ready embeds can be discovered after page load.
HTML5 support is enabled on activation. Mobile, YouTube and Vimeo support are off until enabled in Settings > Tino631 Floating Video.
