This specification intends to provide APIs to allow websites to create a floating video window always on top of other windows so that users may continue consuming media while they interact with other content sites, or applications on their device.
id: picture-in-picture
issue: 72
position: defer
position: positive
rationale: |
We ship Picture-in-Picture (PiP) as a feature in Firefox, but without exposing a JavaScript API. We are evaluating if our PiP UI affordances are sufficient for users and web applications. In the future, we may reconsider exposing the API, which is why we have chosen to 'defer'.
Picture-in-Picture fills a real need: it lets users continue watching video while interacting with other content, and standardizing the JavaScript entry point allows websites to provide their own controls.
