TikTok Adds Floating Player on Desktop To Facilitate Expanded Viewing

22 May 2024

Here’s a small, but handy update for TikTok users.

The platform has added a new floating player option, which enables you to keep watching TikTok videos on your desktop PC while switching to other tabs.

The new Floating Player option is in the bottom right of the playback window on desktop, and when tapped, you can then drag the player to wherever you want on screen.

As noted, it’s a handy option, which will give you more flexibility in watching TikTok clips. And with TikTok continually pushing users to upload longer video, it could also be good for watching long-form clips in the app.
