Google is planning to expand its Picture-in-Picture (PiP) feature in the Chrome browser to video conferencing, which will enable users to take part in calls without leaving the browser.

This is according to a report from Techtsp, which claimed to have seen design documents for the feature compiled by Google engineer Tommy Steimel.

“We want to make it (PiP) more useful for video conferencing platforms,” said Steimel. “To accomplish this, we will add new actions to the MediaSession API and let websites declare handlers for those actions,” he said.
