Live Streams
Twelve international news channels via official YouTube nocookie embeds with Picture-in-Picture support.
What It Does
The Live Streams page shows a 3×2 grid of international news broadcasts. All channels use official YouTube nocookie embeds — this keeps streams stable, respects broadcaster terms of service, and avoids scraper-driven sources that frequently go dark.
You can monitor up to 6 broadcasts simultaneously, swap any screen to a different channel at any time, and pop the entire grid out as a floating Picture-in-Picture window that persists while you navigate other NeoLexx pages.
Channels
Currently configured channels (in default order):
Channel availability depends on whether the broadcaster is actively live on YouTube. Channels that are not live show a fallback link to the broadcaster’s site.
Controls
| Control | What it does |
|---|---|
| Channel dropdown (per screen) | Switch that screen to any of the 12 configured channels. A ✓ mark indicates the channel is currently live and available. |
| Fullscreen button (per screen) | Expands that single stream to fill the browser window. |
| PiP button | Launches the entire grid as a Picture-in-Picture floating window (see below). |
Picture-in-Picture
Clicking the PiP button attempts to open the stream grid as a separate floating window using the Document Picture-in-Picture API (Chrome 116+). If that fails, it falls back to a regular new browser window.
The PiP window supports:
- Size presets: S / M / L
- Screen count: 1 – 6 streams visible
- Layout modes: Quad (2×2) or Linear (horizontal strip)
- Fullscreen toggle: F key inside the popup
- Drag to reposition, resize handles on all edges
- State saved to sessionStorage — selections persist across page navigations
Limits
- Some channels may be unavailable when the broadcaster is not actively streaming on YouTube
- YouTube nocookie iframes do not expose mute controls to the parent page — adjust audio in the embed itself
- PiP popup mode requires Chrome 116 or later for the Document PiP API; other browsers open a standard new window
