Examples
Given a <button> and a <video>, clicking the button will make the video enter the picture-in-picture mode; we then attach an event to print the floating video window dimensions to the console.
const button = document.querySelector("button");
const video = document.querySelector("video");
function printPipWindowDimensions(evt) {
const pipWindow = evt.target;
console.log(
`The floating window dimensions are: ${pipWindow.width}x${pipWindow.height}px`,
);
// will print:
// The floating window dimensions are: 640x360px
}
button.onclick = () => {
video.requestPictureInPicture().then((pictureInPictureWindow) => {
pictureInPictureWindow.onresize = printPipWindowDimensions;
});
};
