How to remove this lower part in picture-in picture


Description of the issue:
How to remove this lower part in picture-in picture


I’m not sure it only happen in Youtube or not.
We open picture-in picture mode to hover some video on our screen but do not want their detail
How can this issue be reproduced?

  1. Open Youtube
  2. Open picture-in picture mode

Expected result:

Brave Version( check About Brave):
Brave is up to date

Brave 1.80.124 (Official Build) (64-bit)

Chromium: 138.0.7204.168
Additional Information:

@slitchaser you’re seeing this on Win11?

On my end I do not see any of the UI you’re seeing (tested on macOS and Win11) in the PIP window:

Yes on window11 sorry did not inform earlier

i think it is same with my youtube but this is not looking bad

@slitchaser can you share a short recording of what it looks like on your end when you go from watching a video normally in Brave and then setting it to display in PIP mode

@slitchaser just to touch base, from my testing the issue is whether you’re using Brave’s picture-in-picture or if you use YouTube’s miniplayer.

Let me clarify the difference. I went to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jfKfPfyJRdk which is the link to what you were listening to.

If I click the miniplayer button that appears on the YouTube video:

It opens like you showed:

However, if I use the browser option that appears in the Media icon, image that appears on the upper right part of the browser, it opens up a menu like below. From there you can click on the Picture-In-Picture button:

Doing this will open in the way @Mattches was seeing things, where that bar isn’t there.

@Saoiray great catch, I honestly forgot that was even an option. Typically when I enter PIP mode I just double right-click and select Picture in Picture mode from the context menu.

@slitchaser does this make sense/resolve the issue for you?

Did not work for me both Youtube mini player and PIP mode. Here from my view

This is your method

reason of this is u are using window 11 if we do the same in window 10 it will be fine

@kashan_devworks that’s not true at all. I’m on Windows 11. Said they and I are using the same operating system but having different outcomes. So there’s something else at play

@slitchaser interesting. I’m wondering if one of your extensions might be causing the difference? If you tried it in a private window or in a new browser profile does it do the same thing?

It has to be an extension or something because I there isn’t any way to specify this behavior in YT settings (or the browser). I am seeing the same behavior as @Saoiray. The view that you’re seeing @slitchaser is the view you get when you launch the mini-player. It’s the only way I can get the PIP to display that bottom info bar – enabling PIP any other way shows the PIP player without the bar as expected.

Seems like the PIP window is “stuck” in that view for you somehow. Have you tried testing this in a fresh/guest profile (Menu --> More tools -- Guest profile) to see if the YT PIP displays the same way?

Yeah after open in guest mode it finally show what should it be. There must be some extension that cause this i will find out.

Thanks @Saoiray @Mattches .
