JS Document Picture-in-Picture
The Document Picture-in-Picture API is designed to allow the users to view a webpage in a floating, resizable window that stays on top of other windows. This can be useful for multitasking, as it allows users to keep an eye on important content while working on other tasks.
Unlike the traditional video-only Picture-in-Picture API, the Document Picture-in-Picture API allows you to display any HTML content in the floating window. This means you can show interactive elements like buttons, forms, videos, animations, or even entire mini-applications in a separate always-on-top window.
Use Cases
- Video Players: Keep watching a video while browsing other tabs or applications
- Video Conferencing: See participants in a floating window during multitasking
- Productivity Tools: Keep a timer, notes, or calculator always visible
- Live Updates: Monitor live scores, stock prices, or notifications
- Media Controls: Quick access to playback controls while working
