Picture in Picture Assistant

Picture in Picture Assistant is a Safari extension and companion application that allows you to switch the current webpage video to picture-in-picture mode with a single click, maintaining continuous floating playback in multitasking scenarios.

This software lets you watch the video on the current webpage in a floating window while browsing the web, taking notes, or handling other tasks. It allows for quick switching between picture-in-picture and non-picture-in-picture modes via Safari toolbar operations and is adapted to the page structures of common video websites, minimizing additional steps.
