Support for picture-in-picture mode is offered by streaming applications such as HBO Max, Disney+ or Netflix, as well as the premium version of the YouTube application. With the arrival of the iOS 14 operating system two years ago, a number of applications, mainly applications of streaming services, began to support the transition to picture-in-picture mode. The picture-in-picture feature should be enabled by default on iOS devices, which you can confirm by running it Settings -> General, where you tap Picture in Picture to activate the item Automatic Picture in Picture.

You can then activate the Picture-in-Picture mode itself for individual applications by either clicking on the corresponding icon found next to the video - it is usually a symbol of two rectangles with an arrow - or by making a gesture to return to the desktop. You can exit the picture-in-picture mode either by clicking on the above-mentioned icon, or by double-clicking the window with the video being played. If you want to start picture-in-picture, for example, with a video played in Safari (beware, not all websites allow this), first go to fullscreen view and then either click on the Picture-in-Picture icon or perform a gesture to return to the desktop.

If you're playing the video in Safari or Google Chrome on your Mac, right-click it once and then right-click it twice. Then select an option in the context menu Run picture-in-picture. For the Google Chrome browser, there are also various extensions, which will allow you to make this transition. Once the video switches to this view, you can move it around your Mac's screen and, in many cases, resize it. If you have come across a page that does not support this mode for videos, you can use an extension to help - for Chrome, for example, there is Picture-in-picture, then for Safari PiPier.
