Support and Feedback:
We value your feedback! If you have any questions or suggestions, please don’t hesitate to contact us through the support page.
Note: Chrome security policies only allow one Auto PiP result per each user interaction. This means when you first play a video and click off the tab it will go to auto picture in picture. If you then go back to the video and click off the tab a second time it will not go into PiP automatically. Either the video will need to be paused and played to register a user interaction or the PiP button on the video player must be used.
