Hello!
I know this is not related to Windows 11, that's why I posted it in the Chillout Room section. Thank you in advance for your time and your help.
Situation: My friend sends my some humorous TikTok videos links in Viber. Until recently, I would tap on the video and open the URL in Google Chrome and watch the video without having to install the TikTok app. This now changed for some reason, when I tap on the video it opens in Google Chrome but doesn't play automatically. If I tap the Play button I go to Google Play Store to install the TikTok app. I don't want to install the app. Is there any workaround to just watch the video? I am not a TikTok user.
Thank you in advance.
PS: From Viber for Windows, when I click on the same video it opens in a new tab in my default browser (Microsoft Edge) and I can watch it. But it is certainly more convenient if I could watch it on my smartphone anytime without having to return home and sit in front of my PC.
PS2: A little Google search suggest to long tap (aka right-click) on the video and select Picture-in-Picture and watch it on a window (which of course can be maximized). Nope, it doesn't work for some reason. When I long tap the video there is no list to select Picture-in-Picture or any other function. Any other ideas?
