This has been requested before, but there still hasn’t been any feature implementation. On youtube and netflix hitting the home button, the video keeps playing in a small window in the bottom right corner. Would love to have something like this.

@joey121215 Lol I totally get your frustration… the Plex devs actually just posted that a beta release is coming very, very soon with PiP (Picture in Picture) and tons of other improvements!!
