This function works out of the box in the Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge browsers. But in Firefox you need to use an add-on called enable pip add-on. It's easy. Here's a very short video showing how to do that.
Safari's PiP button is hidden in the address bar
If a video is playing in Safari, go to the address bar at the top of the window, right-click the blue audio button to the right of the website URL in the address bar and click Enter Picture in Picture. The video will then automatically move to a floating window.
Apple iPad
