- Rated 5 out of 5by M4D_MAXX_, 13 days agoTop! Thanks, the recent changes broke my old Extension I was using!
Thanks for the Update! <3
Also a Fullscreen Option would be neat, if possible.
For the Background Audio, I already did the about:config fix with turning "media.block-autoplay-until-in-foreground" to false.
But, on Question: In your Screenshots we see three positions for the Volume Control, one in the upper right, one on lower right, and one for Storys? How did you change that?
Or does it depend on the Video you open? Like when the Reel is full open, or just the preview? Especially for the Reels I would like to have it both on lower right.
For the Storys, its fine.
Edit: Thanks for the Reply. I see what you mean with Volume Control. And Im excited for the Updates ^^ Fullscreen was always a Thing, I did not understand on the Desktop Instagram Site, since there is a Reason I having FHD Monitors :PDeveloper response

To answer your question about the volume control position: it actually depends on where you're watching the video. On the homepage feed, the volume control appears in the lower right. On Reels (fullscreen), it sits in the upper right alongside the playback bar. On Stories, the controls are at the top. So the position isn't something you change manually, it just adapts to the current view automatically.
Fullscreen support is noted and on the radar for a future update! - Rated 5 out of 5by uzaylul, 15 days ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by wavingdragon, 16 days agoInstagram changed something recently and many addons for adding time playback bar and volume control no longer work. Glad I find this addon!
Is it possible we get a "full screen" function too?Developer response

1. Enable / Disable Loop.
2. Enable / Disable Background Play (Currently, the video pauses when tab is switched).Developer response
posted 16 days agoHi John, thank you for the detailed suggestions! Loop and background play toggles are both really nice ideas for the options panel. These are noted and worth looking into for future updates. Appreciate the feedback! - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14269227, 18 days ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by mlt90, 9 months agoI tested other 'controls for instagram videos' and this one worked the best. Sound button to the top with hovering volume bar, subtle video progress bar at the botton. Nailed it.
