"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."
Netflix's native PiP is broken on desktop. But there's a reliable fix that takes under 60 seconds to set up. This guide shows you exactly how to get a floating Netflix window above any app on your screen.
Netflix disabled its desktop Picture-in-Picture support due to DRM (digital rights management) restrictions. Unlike mobile devices where Netflix officially supports PiP, desktop browsers are locked out. The browser's right-click PiP option is blocked, Chrome's built-in button is disabled on Netflix domains, and third-party workarounds get patched regularly.
The only consistent solution is PiP Pro — a dedicated desktop application that captures the Netflix window at the OS level, bypassing browser restrictions entirely.

Netflix has disabled native PiP on desktop browsers. To use Picture-in-Picture with Netflix on desktop, install PiP Pro. Open Netflix in Chrome, play any title, and click the PiP button to float it above your other apps.
Netflix blocks Chrome's built-in Picture-in-Picture API on its streaming pages. This is enforced through DRM restrictions. PiP Pro works around this by using a desktop window capture approach rather than the browser API.
Netflix does not natively support Picture-in-Picture on PC or desktop browsers. It is only officially supported on iOS and Android. PiP Pro restores this functionality for desktop users.
PiP Pro offers a free 5-day trial with full access to every feature. After the trial it is $5 per month billed annually. Cancel anytime.
