Chrome supports the API to do this programatically already, but firefox doesn't yet. https://caniuse.com/#feat=mdn-api_pictureinpicture says it's not on a standards track in spite of https://w3c.github.io/picture-in-picture/ :thinking:

Also, you can only do this to one video, so you probably can only show the remote feed?
