Opera is updating the Opera One browser with several innovations that enhance the in-browser video streaming and conferencing experience. Here are the details.

Opera One Update Focused on Video

Today, Opera is updating the Opera One browser by adding YouTube and Twitch buttons to the sidebar. These buttons provide one-click access to these platforms.

According to Opera, this feature makes it easier for users to watch streams or videos without having to constantly switch tabs.

Opera One users can pin these panels for a side-by-side layout or quickly pop out the video into a floating window using the Video Popout feature.

The company states that the Video Popout feature has been "completely revamped to make multitasking during meetings smoother than ever." The features include:

  • Expanded application support: Opera now fully supports every video conferencing website with PiP support, meaning full compatibility with Zoom.
  • Site-specific customized control: Users now have site-specific control over Auto-PiP permissions for each conferencing website.
  • Enhanced aesthetics: The floating Video Popout window automatically adapts to the style of the Opera One Theme chosen by the user.

Another interesting feature added to Opera One is a native volume booster that allows users to increase the volume of a specific tab by up to 500%. This feature typically required third-party extensions.

This feature comes with tab-based audio control, meaning you can keep the background sound of one tab low while boosting a specific video in another tab.
