AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
Floating Video is a mixed-rating WordPress app with a limited review volume. It is listed in the Video category on WordPress Plugin Directory, which AppRanks treats as the canonical taxonomy node for ranking and competitor comparison. 2 reviews put it in the early-traction tier — useful for early-stage stores willing to be on the leading edge. Early-traction review counts are sensitive to single launch periods or feature events, so a 30-day re-check before bigger commitments often resolves whether the trend is sustained. Paid-only pricing means evaluating fit on the marketplace listing or via the developer's documentation before installing. AppRanks tracks rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position daily — the figures on this page reflect the most recent scrape from the canonical WordPress Plugin Directory listing.

How Floating Video works
This plugin allows you to embed an ogg, mp4 file or YouTube or Vimeo video into your page. As the user of your website scrolls down the page to read the rest of your article and they can’t see the video any more, the video will automatically move and stick to one of the corners of the window so they can watch the video and read the page at the same time. This creates an effect like the one that can be seen on the videos of CNN, Daily Mail, and the new material design version of YouTube.
This is very useful if you have lots of articles or pages which have accompanying videos, which the user may want to watch while also reading the rest of the article or page.
The plugin will insert a video into a post or page using a shortcode.
The plugin also adds a button to the visual editor so that you can easily intergrate the floating video into all of your pages.
