Wayland doesn't allow us to do that (by design, IIUC), you need to right-click on the window and keep it always-on-top. See bug 1536747.

In fact there's some ongoing work in https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/wayland-protocols/-/merge_requests/132 / bug 1621261 now - a dedicated protocol, similar to what other OSs have today for PiP.

Resolution: INVALID → DUPLICATE
