Summary
User request: allow entering pop-up (PiP) mode directly from the portrait player. Today the only way to reach pop-up mode is to rotate to landscape, trigger the pop-up, and then switch apps — which is awkward for a portrait-first workflow.
User's words
please add this pop up mode option in the portrait mode, as it's a little unpleasant to go to landscape then do the pop up and then switch apps.
Proposed
- Expose the existing pop-up / PiP action in the portrait player controls (and/or the portrait Shorts chrome), so the user can enter PiP without rotating.
Notes
- Reported alongside the "Save to playlist" portrait panel work.
- Related but distinct bug: pop-up shows the channel page instead of the video after visiting a channel (filed separately).
