A new way to PIP
Just head over to
chrome://flags/#global-media-controls-picture-in-picture
flip the flag to ‘enabled’, click that blue restart button and the next time you pull up a video that supports PIP (YouTube is the obvious choice, but many services use it), you can now look in your notifications tray for a new PIP button.
Chromebooks only
sidenote: I'd keep the Google PIP extension installed also 😉 just in case
Over the top of your settings over in your system tray, you should see a persistent rich media player control. In that playback card, you’ll now have a new button that will quickly call up a PIP window
Even better, the ability to put the PIP window back into the tab from where it originated is also part of this media card.
