-Found a Chrome Extension that allows you to resize video and overlay it on top of TGC2019. This allows TV to be playing ontop of TGC 2019 at the same time!
Like many of you, I've cut the cord and get my TV through internet now. I have YouTubeTV and was wanting to figure out a way to have it on while playing TGC 2019. Through some research I found a Chrome Extension that allows for you to resize the video and have it overlaid on top of the other open windows. I got all excited and hot and bothered but could never make it work for YouTube TV for some reason. Come to find out, Google disabled PIP in YouTubeTV for privacy and security concerns. BUT, there is a way around it and can be found here (https://www.reddit.com/r/youtubetv/c...tureinpicture/). I pasted the pertinent content below.:
So, the end result is the pic below! Live TV that can be resized and repositioned on top of TGC2019 (and likely other softwares as well). Hadn't seen this on here so wanted to share the strategy. Hope it helps someone else out there. This can be used for any network TV provider as long as you can access the TV through a browser (ie Netflix, Hulu, etc.).

- Download [Feature Policy Tester DevTools Extension (By Google)](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/d...cjaeednpbpacop)
- Download [Picture-in-Picture Extension (By Google)](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/d...aeopbecg?hl=en)
- Complete the following steps on each visit until somebody creates an extension that persists choices
- Visit tv.youtube.com
- Open DevTools (right click -> inspect, ctrl+shift+j, etc)
- Select Feature Policy tab
- Check persist checkbox on the left side
- Check picture-in-picture policy on the right side
- Close DevTools and start PiP by clicking the PiP extension icon or press alt+p to start
