How to watch Picture-in-Picture on Mac

If you’re using MacOS, you can enable Picture-in-Picture, allowing you to watch videos in another small window while doing something else.  This can be very handy especially when you have to know the outcome of a soap opera or sporting event.

Here’s how:

1. Open Safari or another app that supports PiP.
2. Open a window containing a video.
3. In the video playback controls, click the PiP button (it looks like a small opaque square, and an arrow within a larger transparent square behind it).
4. If you don’t see it, right-click inside the video.
5. A pop-up menu appears.
6. Choose Enter Picture-in-Picture (if available).
7. You can move the window to any corner of the screen.
8. When you’re finished, click the circled X icon in the lower corner.
9. The window becomes full screen.
10. That’s it.
