Explainer https://github.com/steimelchrome/document-pip-explainer/blob/main/explainer.md Specification Summary Document PiP adds a new API to open an always-on-top window that can be populated with arbitrary HTMLElements. This is an expansion upon the existing HTMLVideoElement API that only allows for an HTMLVideoElement to be put into a PiP window. This allows web developers to provide a better PiP experience to users. Blink componentBlink>Media>PictureInPicture <https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/list?q=component:Blink%3EMedia%3EPictureInPicture> Motivation There currently exists a Web API for putting an HTMLVideoElement into a Picture-in-Picture window (videoElement.requestPictureInPicture()). If a website wants to have something as simple as custom media controls icons or as complex as a full scrollable playlist in the PiP window, they can’t currently provide it in the existing HTMLVideoElement experience. We want to expand upon that functionality with a new method on the Window object (window.requestPictureInPictureWindow()) which opens a picture-in-picture (i.e. always-on-top) window with a blank document that can be populated with arbitrary HTMLElements instead of only a single HTMLVideoElement. Initial public proposal https://discourse.wicg.io/t/proposal-document-picture-in-picture/5736 TAG review TAG review statusPending Risks Interoperability and Compatibility Gecko: No signal WebKit: No signal Web developers: Positive ( https://discourse.wicg.io/t/proposal-document-picture-in-picture/5736/2?u=steimel) In addition to the linked comment, we have some signals from partners that this would be valuable, and are checking to see if they are OK making that public Other signals: Debuggability The new methods and properties proposed in this spec will show up in autocomplete functionality (e.g. window.requestPictureInPictureWindow()). The enterpictureinpicture and leavepictureinpicture events will support event listener breakpoints in the "Picture-in-Picture" category.
