"Ghost mode is genius. I keep a stream at 20% opacity while I work in my editor. My colleagues think I'm staring at a blank screen."
PiP.Pro
Most desktop video players are built for local files. They don't touch Netflix, YouTube, or any live stream. PiP Pro is different — it floats every streaming platform above your work, and it does it better than any player on the market.
VLC, Windows Media Player, and their successors are great for local files — MKV, MP4, AVI stored on your drive. But they can't stream Netflix, YouTube, Disney+ or any DRM-protected platform. They weren't designed for the way people actually consume video in 2026.
The modern desktop video player problem is streaming. How do you watch a live stream, a series on Netflix, or a YouTube video while working — without tab switching, without a second screen, without sacrificing your workflow? PiP Pro is the answer.

For streaming, PiP Pro is the best desktop video player in 2026. It floats any video from Netflix, YouTube, Disney+, and other platforms above your other apps. For local file playback, VLC remains a strong choice, but it does not support streaming platforms.
VLC Media Player is the best free video player for local files on PC. For streaming video from Netflix, YouTube, and other platforms in a floating window, PiP Pro offers a free 5-day trial.
Traditional desktop video players like VLC cannot access DRM-protected streaming services. PiP Pro is designed specifically for this — it works with Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video, YouTube, and all major streaming platforms.
VLC plays local video files stored on your computer. PiP Pro floats live streams and content from Netflix, YouTube, Disney+, and other browser-based platforms in an always-on-top window above your other work applications.
