picture-in-picture
Floating video overlay
Picture-in-picture is a display feature that shows a smaller video window within a larger one, allowing viewers to watch two sources simultaneously.
It originated with televisions, letting users monitor one channel while watching another, and has since spread to computers and mobile devices.
I use picture-in-picture to keep an eye on the game while browsing.
The feature is often abbreviated PiP or PIP.
