Like someone else below mentioned, MacOS has built in native PIP support for videos at the OS level. Browser-wise it only works in Safari though.

It's also a little hidden in YouTube's site because YouTube hijacks the first right-click. Try this if you have MacOS and want to see how it works with YouTube:

1. Open Safari

2. Go on YouTube

3. Go to any video

5. Right-click then right-click again immediately

6. Select "Enter picture in picture"

It should be available in the right-click menu in the native MacOS video player that most apps build on top of (unless said services hijack the right-click like YouTube). Works well with Netflix, Vimeo, VLC, you name it.

It's one of my favorite things.
