uses the native browser Picture-in-Picture support.

@saghul I tested it with macOS 15.7 and there the always-on-top / new pip does not work. Other than that, please fix the one nit from the linter, and I would still merge it anyway. If the pip is not working, I would accept that for the time being

[csett86]

See inline

@saghul could you please fix this linter nit?

[saghul]

Will do!

What server did you test? If self-hosted, are you running the latest stable?

Good hint, now retested on latest jitsi-meet stable, but still no luck. I also checked the devtools console from electron, unfortunately nothing visible there

[csett86]

I just noticed, latest stable is from 24th November (https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet/releases/tag/stable%2Fjitsi-meet_10655), so it does not include jitsi/jitsi-meet#16704, and thus probably cannot work...

With alpha.jitsi.net everything works as expected.

(note to self for the release notes once I cut a release that includes this: Electron 38 (and with that also 39) drops support for macOS 11, and for linux, wayland is now used by default if running with wayland (ozone-platform-hint changing to auto): https://www.electronjs.org/blog/electron-38-0#breaking-changes)

Incorporated

Thank you!
