Re: Pop-out video.

According to François Beaufort, editor of the Picture-in-Picture Web API, browsers are allowed to implement multiple pip windows.

@kened Thanks for adding it here. It's is really useful.
Firefox has finally added support for multiple, concurrent Picture-in-Picture windows.
I was waiting for this feature for a long time.

@kened Yes, everyone is waiting for this feature.
Because we don't want to leave Opera, but it will take time.
A bit long time.

@kened Seriously, for what it would be useful? The only thing I can imagine is have something like a mosaic with several <insert an sport here> matches so you can (pretend to) watch them at the same time.

@leocg Seriously, think about peep-holes into, no, not into Dames restrooms (Urban Dictionary), but handy view of latest news from several sources (e.g. TVs), US 2020 Pres. Elections, important local/world events etc

What about making from Opera desktop sorta Opara Commander, nice alternative to Total Commander or Midnight Commander?

Multiple streaming views. Streaming content (Twitch, podcasts, sports, camgirls, e.t.c.) has unique characteristics: It's not edited nor produced, it's real time, and as a result, most of it is boring and not worth the attention.

It may have interesting spots here and there. So it makes sense to watch multiple streamings at the same time from various sources, while doing something else with your time, and when you notice something interesting happening in one of them, you can zoom in and switch your attention at any time. That's where multiple PiP windows would make life 100 times easier.

It is useful when you have to watch two or more important live events simulanoulsy like a live event and a twitch stream that you dont want to miss either, it is an essential part of multitasking no restriction should be enforced over media pip, in the contrary it should be assisted and made easy to be reorganized and magnet locked to eachother and to screen border and any other option that makes each stream be fully controllable in this mode like full screen or put it on audio focus if you have too many videos to control etc... heck they should put the whole browser in pip mode so you can browse while watching other media simultanouly, pip mode should be the foundation of the whole browser design, new tab becomes new pip window or open link in pip mode... the best browser is the one that handles media the best and multiple media for that matter, if you have multiple tabs open it is more likely that there are one media in each one of them ready to be played so helping the user organze them in a pip mode would be the best thing he would hope for...
