About uView
uView Player is a Windows application that opens supported online video and local media in a small window that stays on top of other apps. The window can be moved, resized and made partly transparent, so a video can remain visible while other work continues underneath it. It is distributed through the Microsoft Store and is listed for Windows 10 and 11. A browser extension is also available for supported video pages. The homepage does not state pricing.
The source describes playback only for supported online video, so the range of sites and formats covered is limited to what the product supports. The source does not list those sites or formats.
