With Picture-in-Picture, you simply pop the video out from its website in Firefox. Then, move its floating window where you\u2019d like it on your screen.<\/p>\n<p>This enables you to multitask, write your essay, or complete that report for your meeting while the video plays in the corner of your display or wherever you park it.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Enable_the_Picture-in-Picture_Control_in_Firefox\"><\/span>Enable the Picture-in-Picture Control in Firefox<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Because Picture-in-Picture is built into the desktop version of Firefox, the only setting you need to worry about is whether or not you want to see the video control. This is the Picture-in-Picture toggle that sits on top of the video on the website.<\/p>\n<p>Enabling the toggle enabls you to put almost any video into PiP mode with a click. While we\u2019ll also show you how to use the context menu with a right-click, some sites override Firefox\u2019s context menu with their own. This may leave you without a Picture-in-Picture mode option.<\/p>\n<p>To enable the Picture-in-Picture control, open \u201cFirefox\u201d and access the \u201cSettings\u201d menu.<\/p>\n<p>On Windows, click the three-line menu button in the top-right of the toolbar and pick \u201cOptions\u201d or Tools &gt; Options from the menu.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-706936\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/xFirefoxMenuOptions-Windows.png.pagespeed.gp+jp+jw+pj+ws+js+rj+rp+rw+ri+cp+md.ic.GAkyxJQqMQ.png\" alt=\"Click Menu, Options on Windows\" width=\"349\" height=\"505\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>On Mac, click the three-line menu button in the top-right of the toolbar and pick \u201cPreferences\u201d or Firefox &gt; Preferences from your menu bar.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-706935\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/xFirefoxMenuPreferences-Mac.png.pagespeed.gp+jp+jw+pj+ws+js+rj+rp+rw+ri+cp+md.ic.wqgb0Cxjht.png\" alt=\"Click Menu, Preferences on Mac\" width=\"402\" height=\"534\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>On either platform, select \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">General<\/a>\u201d on the left and scroll down the page to \u201cBrowsing.\u201d Check the box for \u201cEnable Picture-in-Picture Video Controls.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-706937\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/xFirefoxGeneralBrowsing-EnablePiPControl.png.pagespeed.gp+jp+jw+pj+ws+js+rj+rp+rw+ri+cp+md.ic.bIH2mV1z7C.png\" alt=\"Check to Enable the PiP Control\" width=\"650\" height=\"308\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Enter_Picture-in-Picture_Mode_with_the_Toggle\"><\/span>Enter Picture-in-Picture Mode with the Toggle<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you follow the steps above to enable the toggle, using Picture-in-Picture is a breeze.
