We've determined this is using document pip, which we probably don't have a webcompat meta on yet.

Dropping Android as an affected platform, Google meet just redirects to the app/play store on Android

This is still an issue on the latest Nightly (v148).

The PiP option is still missing from the menu but the browser's PiP works now on the videos (both Release 147 and Nightly 149), should we keep this open or it can be closed?

Google meet uses document PiP (bug 2012979) which is slightly different from the browser's media PiP. We expect to ship Document PiP in 151, it's already in Nightly. On Nightly with Chrome user agent, the PiP option works as expected though Google Meet is buggy due to the wrong user agent.

Its unfortunate that they enable this feature based on the UA and not on whether window.documentPictureInPicture exists... But this bug is still valid.

Removing the webcompat:platform-bug as the platform bug is resolved. The site will still need to drop UA sniffing.

Playing around with DPIP for Meet in Chrome, I notice the permissions are shared between opener and PIP. Afaik that's not specified to happen and isn't what Firefox does. I'm not 100% sure how permission prompts are specified though. But I can't test DPIP for Meet in Firefox yet as UA spoofing breaks Meet.
