For firefox the following config works for me:

[[on-window-detected]]
if.app-id = 'org.mozilla.firefox'
if.window-title-regex-substring = 'Picture-in-Picture'
run = 'layout floating'

For firefox the following config works for me:

[[on-window-detected]]
if.app-id = 'org.mozilla.firefox'
if.window-title-regex-substring = 'Picture-in-Picture'
run = 'layout floating'

This one works for Chrome:

[[on-window-detected]]
if.app-id = 'com.google.Chrome'
if.window-title-regex-substring = 'Picture in Picture'
run = 'layout floating'
check-further-callbacks = true

[[on-window-detected]]
if.app-id = 'com.google.Chrome'
run = "move-node-to-workspace W"

Make sure you're ordering those correctly – detecting Picture in Picture should come first, then move to the workspace rule.

This workaround tailored for a specific workspace (W in my case) allows me to keep my PiP window on top of other browser windows. However, most users might be more interested in achieving persistent PiP functionality, as discussed here: #2.

exsesx · 2024-08-15T19:53:41Z

Interesting observation: Arc browser floating PiP works out of the box and is always on top, no matter which workspace is selected.

They might've implemented PiP differently because aerospace list-windows doesn't show a separate window like it does for Firefox or Chrome.

danfbfern · 2024-08-21T14:59:58Z

@exsesx I noticed that on the Arc browser, the PiP only triggers if the PiP opens in the workspace that Arc is.
Meaning that if I have a video playing and change workspaces, PiP won't trigger and it won't show in other workspaces, but if I change tabs in Arc, it triggers PiP and it then shows on top of all workspaces.
So if I don't change tab to trigger the PiP, simply changing workspaces won't trigger the PiP.

Do you have the same behaviour ?

Yes, @danfbfern, and AFAIK, this is how PiP works in Arc. Simply changing focus doesn't trigger entering PiP.

Yes, @danfbfern, and AFAIK, this is how PiP works in Arc. Simply changing focus doesn't trigger entering PiP.

@exsesx Okok, so it doesn't only happen to me
But when changing desktops or simply alt-tabbing to another app, Arc automatically changes to PiP even without changing tabs on the browser.
When using Yabai, this behavior stays the same because it uses the default Apple desktops, and Aerospace doesn't use it.

@nikitabobko is there a way to fake the same behavior to trick the Arc browser (or the OS itself) into thinking the desktop was changed?
It's probably the main behavior difference that I now miss after converting from Yabai to Aerospace.

This is a quirk that I've run into with MS Teams, too. Usually when in a meeting, if the window wasn't on the active desktop, it would show a mini floating window. Now that it's always technically on the active desktop it doesn't show. However minimizing teams also shows this window. It's an extra step but perhaps this will also work for Arc?

Minimising actually does not trigger, but changing tabs in the browser (to trigger the PiP in the other tab) and then switching to the intended workspace is the workaround that works.

However I wonder if there is anything on the Aerospace side to mitigate this limitation, since its specifically related to the way it handles its own workspaces.

I doubt it, given that it's specific to Arc and when it chooses to show the PiP window. From the sounds of it Arc detects when it's not on the active mac os workspace. But with Aerospace, it's always on the active mac os workspace.
