How to configure the "Picture-in-Picture" feature in Brave for convenient video viewing?

The "Picture-in-Picture" feature in the Brave browser allows you to detach the video player from a site tab into a separate floating window on top of all other applications. This makes it possible to continue watching broadcasts, lectures, or videos while working with documents, programming, or surfing other pages without having to switch between tabs.

To activate this capability, in most cases, you do not need to install third-party extensions, as the tool is deeply integrated into the Chromium engine on which the browser is built. Brave's built-in mechanisms automatically recognize the video stream on popular platforms such as YouTube, Twitch, and many other video hosting services, offering the user convenient control tools.

To launch a video in a floating window, follow these simple steps:

After activating the mode, a special quick-launch button also appears in the upper right corner of the video player, eliminating the need to use the context menu. To return the video back to the tab, simply click on the cross in the corner of the floating window or use the corresponding control button in the player itself.

You can configure the automatic behavior of the feature in the browser parameters by going to the advanced performance or media settings section. Using operating system hotkeys can also simplify playback control, allowing you to quickly pause or resume video viewing right on top of your working environment.
