How Picture in Picture works:

  1. Find the video and run it.
  2. Click the extension icon to reduce the video player on YouTube and other sites.
  3. Select the “Floating Picture in Picture” (PIP) mode, and you're done.

There is one thing worth noting: while you can freely browse other sites while playing a video in a pop-up window, you should keep the original tab open. Floating picture in picture is a powerful tool for watching videos on a mini-video player for all sites.

The Picture in Picture floating panel is a lightweight addon that gives you access to videos on the entire site with one click.
