#35906 — non-modal chrome-less popup video

I seen a few video sites which allows you to select a button and an 
associated video opens in a new non-modal chrome-less popup window. The 
popup always seems to stay on top yet is separate from the "parent" 
window - the popup can go beyond the edges of the parent window.

I've done a google search and all I've found is variations of window.open.

Could someone please explain how a video can be opened in a non-modal 
chrome-less popup window? Is there a js library that does it that I can use?

Is the video displayed in fullscreen mode then?  Because AFAIK that is only
possible with plugins like Flash.

Maybe.  It would be helpful if you cited the “few video sites”.

Maybe.  I am not aware of any.

Here's a page with a video over which a button than appears:
<https://cdn.skoften.net/video/content113532134/201218-5c1bf5bf790f8.mp4>

Oddly enough, during testing, the button only seems to appear in Opera 
(and not in Chrome, Edge, or Firefox).

WinLister, a Windows utility that displays a list of open windows, says 
that the video is Opera's and of class Chrome_WidgetWin_2 (if that helps).

That is Opera's own video pop-out feature.

Dang, I like it a lot and I was thinking about using it in a current 
project.
