Pro Tip: Play a web video with Picture in Picture on Mac

lotusadmin1 • July 19, 2021


 

With Picture in Picture, you can play a video in a movable window that “floats” on top of everything else, so you can always see it, no matter what you’re doing. With AirPlay, you can play web videos on any HDTV with Apple TV—without showing everything else on your desktop.
