Picture-in-Picture mode is now available for Google Meet (Google Chrome browser only).

With picture-in-picture, you can now see up to four video tiles of meeting attendees in a floating window on top of other applications.

This allows you to navigate away from the Meet tab to multitask on another application like Gmail, and still be able to see you attendees.

Additionally, you can now pin multiple video feeds. This will provide greater flexibility in how you combine people and content, allowing you to adjust the view in a way that best serves your meeting.
