"I cancelled YouTube Premium after a week with PiP.Pro. The desktop PiP in Premium was useless — it kept disappearing. PiP.Pro stays exactly where I put it."
PiP.Pro
YouTube Premium charges $13.99/month and still doesn't give you a proper desktop PiP experience. PiP.Pro delivers everything YouTube Premium can't — true always-on-top floating, Ghost Mode, Smart Playlists, and built-in search — for $5/month.
YouTube Premium is excellent on mobile — background play, no ads, offline downloads. On desktop it is a different story. The browser PiP it provides loses position when you click other windows, has no transparency control, no playlist management, and no dedicated search. It is the browser's generic PiP API with a YouTube logo on it.
PiP.Pro was built specifically for desktop — a proper OS-level floating window that stays exactly where you put it, never loses focus, and adds the features YouTube's own desktop experience has always been missing.
Not the browser's PiP API. A real OS-level desktop window that stays on top of every application — never flickers, never hides.
Dial YouTube's opacity from 100% to nearly invisible. Watch through your spreadsheet. Not a feature that exists in any YouTube subscription tier.
Queue, reorder, and loop videos inside the player. YouTube Premium on desktop still sends you back to the browser to manage your queue.
Search YouTube directly in PiP.Pro without opening a browser tab. A feature YouTube's own desktop experience still doesn't offer.
Sign in with Google at pip.pro. 5-day free trial, full access from the first second.
Download PiP.Pro and install the Chrome extension. Lightweight and fast.
Click PiP on any YouTube video. Your floating window stays on top of everything, forever.

"Ghost Mode alone is worth the $5. I watch YouTube reference videos at 25% opacity while I edit. YouTube Premium has nothing like this."
"Built-in search is the killer feature for me. I find and play videos without ever touching my browser. Premium just can't do that on desktop."
5 days free, full access. Then $5/month — less than a single streaming subscription.

YouTube Premium does not provide a dedicated desktop Picture-in-Picture application. It uses the browser's built-in PiP API which loses position, has no transparency control, and offers no playlist or search features. PiP.Pro provides a true OS-level always-on-top YouTube PiP window on desktop.
For desktop Picture-in-Picture specifically, PiP.Pro offers significantly more functionality than YouTube Premium. PiP.Pro includes Ghost Mode transparency, Smart Playlists, built-in search, and a true always-on-top window. YouTube Premium on desktop relies on the browser PiP API which lacks all of these features.
YouTube Premium costs $13.99 per month. PiP.Pro costs $5 per month billed annually. PiP.Pro is 64% cheaper and provides a better desktop PiP experience.
Yes. PiP.Pro works with both free YouTube accounts and YouTube Premium accounts. If you have Premium, PiP.Pro adds the desktop floating window features that Premium lacks.
Browser PiP uses the browser's native API, which YouTube limits and which loses window position when you click other apps. PiP.Pro creates an OS-level desktop window that is truly always-on-top, freely resizable, and includes Ghost Mode, Smart Playlists, and built-in search.
