The mini-player can be activated by clicking an icon in the YouTube video they are watching. The video then moves to a small window on the bottom right of the screen, after which users can continue to browse YouTube.
In the small window it possible to play, pause and go to the next video. By clicking the title of the video in the small window, the video is shown in its regular size.
