Play web videos in Safari on Mac

With Picture in Picture, you can play a video in a movable window that “floats” on top of everything else, so you can always see it, no matter what you’re doing. With AirPlay, you can play web videos on any HDTV with Apple TV 4K — without showing everything else on your desktop.
