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.
my bad the flag also will work on
Mac, Windows, Linux, as well as Chrome OS
