Hi Team, I don't know if this has been requested before... Is there a way to send the Youtube video to a second screen or at least to trigger the video to start inside Youtube when the song is started in Chordify ?... I'm thinking for example if we have a desktop computer connected with a lcd projector and the audience could see only de youtube video while the musician sees the chords information, this would be great to make a great party !.

Thanks, your product is awesome.

    Hi Carlos,

    Thanks for your feedback and kind words! We don't offer this functionality currently, sorry for any inconvenience. The YouTube video is required as part of the songpage where we display the chords. But maybe this is something we could look into in the future, there's certainly some nice benefits to the idea!

    Please contact support@chordify.net if we can help with anything else for now.

    A workaround (but only once the video is started) is to click on the "picture-in-picture" icon in the video (edit: only visible after starting or pausing the video playback!) which opens the video in a separate window that you can move around (eg. into the 2nd screen) and resize.

    If you pause or restart the song the position and size of the PiP video is the same so you can prepare your video for the lcd projector before starting your "performance" :-)

    Yes, it does still work (just checked it using Firefox on Linux), you just have to move the mouse over the video picture to see the symbol for "picture-in-picture" at the right side of the video (and the video must be playing or paused - that's most probably the problem in your case):

    Does anybody know if Guisatar's workaround still works? I don't see an option for picture-in-picture, the Youtube player I'm seeing has very limited functionality (see attached images)

    Wow, the answer was really as simple as switching to firefox!! I genuinely spent an hour yesterday trying to rig up some custom chrome extension to make this work, and could have just tried firefox lol.

    Thanks Guisatar!!!
