WhatsApp Web already has Picture in Picture to watch videos in chats

The version 0.3.2041 of WhatsApp Web is now available In case you still don't know what it is, WhatsApp Web offers you the opportunity to enjoy the WhatsApp service on your computer. Of course, unlike the PC version of Telegram, you will need your mobile phone to have the WhatsApp application installed and working regularly in order to use it correctly. In this new version we can find, in addition to the typical patches to correct errors and superficial improvements, the new PiP option.

Watch YouTube videos on WhatsApp in any chat window

What does this mean? If you have noticed, for some time now in WhatsApp we can watch YouTube videos, shared directly in the application, in a separate window, and continue having a normal conversation in the chat window. Well, from this version we can do the same in WhatsApp Web. We can watch videos in Picture in Picture (PiP) mode from YouTube, Instagram, Facebook and Streamable.

To try this new feature of WhatsApp Web you must receive a message that contains a video link that belongs to one of the aforementioned services. If you have already activated the function, WhatsApp will offer you a preview of the video in a bubble with a playback option. If you press it, it will start playing in Picture in Picture mode.Even in the WhatsApp Web version, you can close the chat window and the video will continue playing as before. You can also resize the window and place it anywhere you want.

To force the update to WhatsApp 0.3.2041 (in the event that you still do not have the Picture in Picture mode available) you must restart the web browser or delete the cache of the same To carry out this operation you must press the CTRL + F5 key at the same time. Then try asking someone to send you a video and now you can try the new PiP feature on WhatsApp Web.
