Overview
- The in‑development feature would shrink active audio or video into a floating player when users move to a different Chrome tab on Android.
- The mini‑player operates inside Chrome only, distinguishing it from Android’s system‑level PiP that overlays other apps.
- Dataconomy reports that a Chromium commit has added a new Android flag to activate the behavior, signaling ongoing work.
- Site‑specific controls are anticipated, echoing desktop options to enable, block, or allow automatic PiP one time.
- Google has not confirmed the feature publicly or provided any release timing.
