The HTMLVideoElement method requestPictureInPicture() issues an asynchronous request to display the video in picture-in-picture mode.

It's not guaranteed that the video will be put into picture-in-picture. If permission to enter that mode is granted, the returned Promise will resolve and the video will receive a enterpictureinpicture event to let it know that it's now in picture-in-picture.

None.

A Promise that will resolve to a PictureInPictureWindow object that can be used to listen when a user will resize that floating window.
