YouTube tests the picture-in-picture mode for the browser version
AT YouTube, it seems, will soon add the " picture in picture " and for the browser version of video hosting. Now it is being tested, but only for a limited number of users.
What it is
"Picture Mode picture " allows you to " fold "the video and view other pages and sites. In this case, the " minimized " video is displayed by a small rectangle in right bottom corner of the screen and Playback while the rest of the monitor is busy with other tasks. The video is minimized if you click on any panel icon (only if it's not another video).
Them can be managed, like normal YouTube video: stop, restart, rewind, enable the next video or close. If you click on the title or not occupied by the buttons area of the player - the video is returned to the usual size on YouTube.
Such an opportunity has long existed in the mobile version, but that's up browser hands came only now.
It is not yet known when this regime will fully work.
