Enable YouTube+ Features on YouTube Desktop
So it’s fairly easy to do. All you need is a browser extension. I am using chrome so I will show you how to do it on chrome and it’s also one of the most popular and widely used web browsers. So go ahead, install the Extension according to the web browser you use. This is basically a script manager extension and using this extension, we will be running a custom script to enable Hidden YouTube features.
- Chrome: Tampermonkey or Violentmonkey
- Firefox: Greasemonkey, Tampermonkey, or Violentmonkey
- Safari: Tampermonkey
- Microsoft Edge: Tampermonkey
- Opera: Tampermonkey or Violentmonkey
- Maxthon: Violentmonkey
- Dolphin: Tampermonkey
- UC: Tampermonkey
- Qupzilla: (no additional software required)
So I am installing Tampermonkey, it’s fairly nice, Firefox users might be aware of Greasemonkey which i’ve discussed in my post, How to Download Documents from Scribd for free. So it’s a fairly popular extension to run custom scripts.
Once you have installed the extension, make sure it is activated. Then use this link, it’s the universal link for all browsers. 
and hit install Script button when the page opens.
This will install the Youtube+ Script and it will automatically run whenever you open the YouTube website again. No need to restart the browser. So now when you open up the YouTube browser and browse or play any video, you will notice that some new buttons appearing just below the YouTube player.
Conclusion
You can use these buttons to Take screenshots, enable cinema mode in which everything in the back goes black, download the video thumbnail at full resolution, and the best feature, play youtube video in a floating window automatically.
