Of late, Chromebook has been getting tons of features to make it a competitive alternative against Windows laptops. Just recently, Chrome OS got support for a built-in video recorder, Picture-in-Picture mode, clipboard manager, dark mode, and more. Among these features, Picture-in-Picture is an interesting addition as it allows you to watch video content from any website in a separate, resizable, floating window. So if you want to learn how to enable Picture-in-Picture mode on Chromebook then follow our guide below.
Here, we have mentioned three ways to turn on PiP mode on Chromebook. You can either use YouTube’s built-in mini-player option or install an extension or turn on a Chrome flag for system-wide Picture-in-Picture support. So on that note, let’s go through the steps.
Finally, play video on any website and then click on the extension.
Finally, a Picture-in-Picture window will open up and you can drag it anywhere on the screen, resize it and float it over the desktop. That’s quite handy, right?
Our tutorial will work with all of the following Chromebooks. It is not an exhaustive list and is only here to serve as an example.
Create PiP Window on Any Website on Chrome OS
So that is how you can enable the PiP feature on your Chromebook and create a separate floating window on top of other apps and tabs. As I mentioned above, if you just want PiP on YouTube then the built-in button works pretty well. However, if you want PiP support on all tabs and windows then getting the extension or enabling the flag would be much better.
