Can PIP support the hidden operation bar?

[ericjiajia]

In the requirements I need to do, I need to hide the operation bar, but the current API cannot meet it

Having that bar always hidden is not feasible for security reasons (the user needs to know what origin the content is coming from and needs the ability to close the window). However, we have internally had some discussions around having the bar hide when the window is unfocused and unhovered. Would that solve your issue? Note that this isn't something that's definitely going to happen (or necessarily happen soon if it does happen), but it'd be good to know if that work would be solving your use case to help us prioritize

Currently, I have a high-priority requirement, which is to display pip as a floating window with real-time subtitles. However, the current header will affect the display effect. For example, when the ppt is playing, it will interfere with the ppt content. If this feature can be supported as soon as possible, I will be very grateful!

My suggestion for implementers, is to provide the information about origin in the context menu, this will leave PiP instantiated window(s) as clear as possible.

Testing PiP on the basis of Placard.js-light.

• Demo, in order to reproduce the GUI being transferred to PiP window instance, please double click on it with pointer (e.g. mouse)

As a web developer I understand possible implications of Chromium-based security model, its measures and trade-offs, however as a user I want to see more customizability, also ability to have multiple PiP windows with respect to top level opener. Good example is one PiP window for variable bindings (current screenshot), and at least one more for Canvas (Layer) manager, which currently due to PiP API limitations I cannot have and forced to fall back by using Electron.js

Perhaps their Majesty Nooglers @beaufortfrancois @tomayac could give some viable insight regarding the issue originally raised by @ericjiajia as I strongly bielieve it remains relevant.

Thank you.
