Description
Control playback, speed, PiP (& more) of web videos in Safari - with this clever web extension.
Vidimote upgrades for your video watching experience:
• SPEEEED: watch videos at up to 2 x original speed, finely adjustable in 5% steps. Save time watching videos - without missing out on any content. Or watch a live stream's recorded part at increased speed - until you're "back to live".
• EXTENDED PICTURE IN PICTURE (PiP): Vidimote adds controls to the macOS PiP feature for Safari web videos: now you can jump ±10 seconds, adjust speed, see the time remaining and more. Use Vidimote to move web videos to PiP, then control them directly there and continue watching while using other apps.
• CONTROL: jump ±10 seconds, use the position slider and - of course - play and pause.
• SKIP: quickly skip to the end of a video you don't want to see
• ACTUAL TIME REMAINING: see how much _actual_ time remains to the end of the video - adjusted to the playback speed.
• LIVE STREAM CLOCK: see the approximate clock time for your current position in the live stream, making it really easy to find - for example - the beginning of a show.
• DEFAULT SPEED: in the app, pick a default speed in which you want web videos in Safari to be played back by default.
• VOLUME: precisely control the volume of web videos with Vidimote's large slider with built-in percentage display.
• MUTE/UNMUTE: mute and unmute web videos.
• SETTINGS: launch the app to change the default speed, jump intervals, minimum and maximum speeds.

Ratings and Reviews
Great but one must from me
It works brilliantly no complaints about functionality. The only issue is you need to press the extension icon in the top bar then click the PIP button I wish there was just a keyboard shortcut like the chrome extension - option + P.
Excellent
Wanted to speed up an ITVX live stream that I'd tuned into late, so that I could catch up. Knew it must technically be possible, so did a quick Google and found someone already solved it. Downloaded the extension, enabled it, and started using instantly without a single interruption in what I was watching! The extra PIP controls are super useful too.
Excellent Plug-in
This is really useful, especially for getting round YouTube’s shenanigans to block using Picture-in-picture. It even allows playback to continue if you lock your device. Definitely worth getting if you want to be able to easily get videos into PiP mode.
