How to turn off the automatic video pop-out in Opera browser
At first look, it seems, the feature has been added for convenience so that a user can easily reach out and continue watching the video without interruption. However, after some time, the same feature becomes a source of major annoyance. Here’s how you can disable it. You can easily put an end to the video auto-play by hovering the mouse cursor over the video pop-up and clicking the Close button in the upper right corner. But, if you are looking for a more comprehensive fix, we’ve got this tip for you. Launch the Opera browser. Make sure it is updated to the latest version.
Next, select Settings from the side panel on the left. When the Settings screen appears, hit the Advanced drop-down menu, just below the Basic heading, and choose the Features option. Switch to the right and continue scrolling down to locate the Video pop-out section.
When seen, simply turn off the Enable video pop-out option by sliding the toggle to the Off position. The action when confirmed will disable the Automatic Video Pop-Out feature in the Opera browser, permanently. That’s all there is to it!
