@felipebochehin87 I considered that during development – and I personally think the application should not presume the user only wants to watch one playing video at a time.

Two reasons for that:

1. I can think of many use cases for having two videos playing at the same time: one in PiP and the other on a page. Imagine there is a live broadcast of a soccer game. I'm waiting for a match to start, so I keep that stream playing muted in PiP and just check it from time to time while watching another video as my main content while I'm waiting.
2. For learning purposes, I think it's useful for any developers to be able to test out and see that PiP video can play alongside any other video on a web page.

Chatted with @felipebochehin87 and we decided to close this issue.
