User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:68.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/68.0
Firefox for Android

Steps to reproduce:

The Pop Out Video feature, also known as Picture-in-picture (PiP), allows you to display HTML5 videos in a floating window so that you can continue watching the video while scrolling down a page or changing tabs.

This feature can help students like me a lot. Browsing tutorial videos from Youtube, Udemy, Cousera, etc and at the same time implement the code in IDE. This saves a lot of time.

Not having to switch to the browser, again and again, saves times and pressure.

Opera is pretty popular because of this lifehack. They have introduced this feature back in 2016. I wonder why Firefox devs don't even bother by this. When something is really cool, and many people are staying with Opera only because of this then why not implement this in Firefox too.

Really, when this will be out in beta and in the normal build? Is it a week, a whole month far?
