topic Samsung Internet web browser Video Assistant in Tech Talk https://r2.community.samsung.com/t5/Tech-Talk/Samsung-Internet-web-browser-Video-Assistant/m-p/5923119#M118039 <SPAN style="font-size: 9px;">The Video Assistant offers Samsung Internet Browser users easy access to full-screen mode and lets them play videos in a standalone popup player or view them directly on a TV. There are some limitations to the feature though, as popup play can be restricted by content providers.</SPAN> <BR /><BR /><SPAN style="font-size: 9px;">The update also introduces a new set of add-ons, the possibility to customize the toolbar, as well as tab manager renewal. Also,&nbsp;AndroidPolice&nbsp;reports that Samsung Internet Browser v11 is based on a newer Chromium 75 browser engine, which adds a few security enhancements like the fact that popups activated when closing a page will always be blocked.</SPAN> <BR /><BR /><SPAN style="font-size: 9px;">If you've been running the Internet Browser 10.2, then you should already be familiar with all the changes included in the new release. The only new feature for those who didn't install the previous beta is the upgraded Chromium browser engine.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><BR /><SPAN style="font-size: 11px;"><B>Pop-up video play now works only on websites that allow it</B></SPAN> <BR /><BR /><SPAN style="font-size: 9px;">The option to play videos in a pop-up window does still exist, but now, it will only work if a website or content provider allows it. And that means you can’t use the functionality on the YouTube website, which is a shame as Video Assistant originally allowed users to get around the YouTube app’s limitation of not playing videos when the app is minimized. It does make sense, however, as content providers need to be able to protect their content in a day and age where multiple streaming services and providers vie for the customer’s attention.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><BR /><DIV><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper" image-alt="image"><img src="https://r2.community.samsung.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/1294805i1ED5A0B7501E02FD/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;px=999" role="button" title="image" alt="image" /></span></DIV><!--/data/user/0/com.samsung.android.app.notes/files/clipdata/clipdata_object_201031_175436_094.sdocx--><BR /><BR /><SPAN style="font-size: 9px;">If you use Samsung Internet, you’ll simply have to try out the new beta and check which of your favorite websites allow you to run videos in a pop-up window.
