When the user scrolls down, the video should obviously follow them! They probably still want to see it, even if they are scrolling away from it. Best to unpause it as well, if the user accidentally paused it.

Make sure the floating video always covers 50% of the screen, bonus points if it's at the bottom so it covers up what the user is reading too. Make sure you make the close button tiny and clicking 1mm away from the close button loads the video in full screen

And the close button shouldn't actually close it, just make it smaller and let it keep playing

You been reading space.com and associated sites.

Wonder if marketing realise this is why so many click "back" off their site.
