MultiView vs Video Wall vs GridPlayer vs Video Mosaic, compared

For most people who want to watch multiple videos at once in Chrome — a few streams, matches or tutorials on one screen — the best extension is Video Mosaic. It takes the video tabs you already have open, on almost any site, and puts them in one grid in a single tab, without restarting anything or pulling your tabs out of the browser. MultiView is the better pick for ten or more videos spread across several monitors, Video Wall if you would rather have each tab in its own window, and GridPlayer for a saved line-up of links.

We build Video Mosaic. The facts about the other three come from their own store listings and websites as of October 2026 — check a listing before you install, because these tools change quickly.

The short version

? = not stated on the store listing. — = doesn't apply: the extension opens links rather than using your tabs.

None of them can show Netflix, Disney+ or Prime Video. Those services protect their video with DRM, and Chrome will not hand that picture to any extension, whichever way the extension works.

Video Mosaic — best for one grid on one screen

How it works. Open your videos in tabs as usual. Right-click each tab and choose Add this tab to Video Mosaic. Video Mosaic mirrors what each tab is already showing into one grid in a single tab. The videos keep playing in their own tabs, exactly where they were, and the wall shows them side by side.

Why it is the one to try first.

• It works on the video you are actually watching. No link to copy, no restart from zero. A race at lap 40 stays at lap 40.
• It works where link-based tools cannot. Because it mirrors the tab instead of embedding a link, it handles videos with embedding switched off, streams behind a login or a subscription, and players that have no embed at all — a club's own stream, a broadcaster's web player, a self-hosted file.
• It is one tab, not a pile of windows. Nothing else on your desktop can slip between the screens, and the whole wall moves to a second monitor or goes fullscreen as one piece.
• Every screen is a real player. Its own play and pause, its own timeline with −10s / +10s, and a Play all button for the whole wall.
• Sound goes where you want it. Pin it to one screen, or let it follow your mouse — point at a screen and you hear that one.
• You arrange it. Columns, screen shape, zoom inside a screen, edge-to-edge, fit to window, fullscreen.
• Portrait and landscape mix. Shorts, TikTok and Reels keep their shape next to landscape video, with nothing stretched or cropped.

What to know. Chrome makes you grant access tab by tab, so there is one right-click per video — no extension can skip that. Video Mosaic is built for Chrome; Edge and other Chromium browsers generally work but are not officially supported yet.

Price. Free for up to 3 screens, with every feature. €10 once for unlimited screens — no subscription, no account, and the licence restores by email on a new computer.

MultiView — best for 10+ videos across several monitors

How it works. Right-click a video link and choose Add to MultiView, or paste a URL. Then click Tile Windows: each video opens in its own browser window and the windows are arranged in a grid across your screen.

Good at. Big walls. The paid version goes up to 32 streams, and because each video is a real window, you can spread them over several monitors.

The limit you will hit. It works from links, so it is bound by what a site lets other pages embed. MultiView's own site says publicly embeddable sites such as YouTube, Twitch, Vimeo and Dailymotion work, and that Netflix, HBO and most subscription services do not. Each video opens fresh from its link, and every window keeps its own title bar, which eats screen space at four videos and more.

Price. Free for 4 simultaneous streams. $9.99 one-time for up to 32.

Video Wall — best if you want each tab in its own window

How it works. It takes the video tabs you already have open, moves each one out of your browser into its own borderless popup window, and tiles those windows on the monitor you choose. Playback carries on where it was.

Good at. Keeping your place on any video site. Each window gets its own play, pause, volume and seek bar, and a solo-sound mode mutes everything except the window you are focused on.

The limit you will hit. Your tabs leave your browser window, and the videos become separate operating-system windows. Clicking another app can put it on top of the wall, and the listing notes that keeping the windows always on top needs a third-party tool such as Windows PowerToys. There is no single wall to resize, rearrange or send fullscreen as one.

Price. Not stated on the listing.

GridPlayer (listed as "Multi View") — best for saved line-ups

How it works. Open Chrome's side panel, paste a video URL, and it plays in a grid of up to 25 frames — 2×2, 3×3, 4×4 or 5×5. You can save a set of videos as a named group and reload it with one click.

Good at. Saved line-ups. If you watch the same five channels every evening, a named group is quicker than opening five tabs.

The limit you will hit. Everything goes through a pasted link, so it cannot add a video you are already watching without starting it again, and — like any link-based tool — it depends on the site letting the video play outside its own page. The side panel also shares the browser window with whatever page is open next to it.

Price. Not stated on the listing.

Which one should you pick?

• A few videos on one screen, from any site: Video Mosaic. It is also the one to try when a video "can't be embedded" or sits behind a login.
• 10+ streams across several monitors: MultiView.
• Each tab moved into its own window: Video Wall.
• The same channels every day from saved links: GridPlayer.
• Netflix, Disney+ or Prime Video side by side: none of them. DRM blocks every extension; use the service's own multiview where it has one.

Do any of them record or upload the video?

Video Mosaic draws each frame to your screen and discards it — nothing is recorded, uploaded or written to disk, and there is no account. MultiView and Video Wall both say on their listings that they collect no browsing data; GridPlayer's listing describes itself as ad-free but says less. Whichever you pick, read the permissions list on the store page before installing.

When you buy an upgrade, Video Mosaic and MultiView both take payment through ExtensionPay (Stripe), which keeps the email address you paid with so your licence can be restored.

Is there a free way to do this without an extension?

Yes — tile browser windows yourself, or use picture-in-picture. Both work for two videos and get awkward at four. The trade-offs are in multiview alternatives compared, and if you are still choosing between link-based and tab-based tools in general, Chrome extensions for watching multiple videos explains how to tell them apart from the store listing alone.
