Are there measures to prevent this feature from being abused in conjunction with autoplay? The news is starting to trickle out, and people hate it already.
I've held the opinion (idea) that PiP should be a global thing to a ChromeOS/Android device in that PiP videos from all sites (globally) should be queue-able into a PiP queue. Having the ability to queue videos from multiple sources/sites could turn a Chromebook/Android device into a smart TV inasmuch that a user could browse the web/apps and queue videos from just about anywhere into their own local TV/PiP station! Of course, there would need to be an additional OS-level way to manage (re-order/delete/view) videos in the PiP queue. Not sure if this idea would be better off in a new ticket -or- here.
Closing as primary work for PiP is completed. Please refer to individual bugs in component:Blink>Media>PictureInPicture for open issues and feature requests.
