\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Starting with macOS Sierra, Apple provided a convenient Picture in Picture (PiP) feature that allows you to \u201cfloat\u201d a video window from Safari, YouTube, Apple TV+, and other apps atop your desktop and open apps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you\u2019re watching a video in the Safari web browser, you can now make it \u201cjump off” the webpage into a separate window of its own. This separate window allows the video to persist on top of all other windows and apps in macOS. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Entering PiP in Safari<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With a video playing in the Safari browser, you should see a blue sound icon in the address bar of the page you’re visiting. Click and hold this sound icon in the navigation bar and a menu will pop up.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Select Enter Picture in Picture and the video appears in its own window. You can resize and\/or snap it to an edge of the screen. Let\u2019s look at an example with a YouTube video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Entering PiP in YouTube<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re playing a YouTube video in Safari on your Mac, if you right-click (Control click) on the video that\u2019s being played, you\u2019ll see options to \u201cloop\u201d, \u201ccopy video URL\u201d, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, if you right-click<\/strong> on a video twice, you\u2019ll see the option to \u201cEnter Picture in Picture,\u201d as well as \u201cShow Controls,\u201d \u201cEnter Full Screen,\u201d and \u201cInspect Element.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using PiP in Apple TV+<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To use PiP in Apple TV+ launch the Apple TV+ app and start watch a movie or show. Hover the mouse over the name of the movie or TV show episode and the PiP icon will appear. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It should also appear if you move the cursor to the top left side of the video screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using PiP in QuickTime Player<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Apple has added support for PiP to QuickTime Player. You can play video in a resizable window that isn\u2019t blocked by other windows. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To do this launch QuickTime Player. Use the playback controls to play the video file. Click the picture-in-picture button  in the playback controls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can click and drag the picture-in-picture window to anywhere on the screen, or click and drag any edge of the window to resize it. Click the full screen button  or the close button to close the picture-in-picture window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moving, resizing, and closing PiP windows<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You can resize a PiP-playing video by dragging the corners of the window. You can also move this video to any of the four corners on your screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To exit PiP, click on the close window icon (the X button) in the upper left corner of the video pop-up window. Alternately, you can click and hold on the Audio icon in the URL box and select Exit Picture in Picture.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
