Auto Picture-in-Picture must be enabled individually for each website you visit - such as YouTube, Reddit, Facebook, Twitter (X), Twitch, Kick, Netflix, Udemy, Vimeo, and others.
This gives you full control over where PIPX activates automatically. If you don’t see the “Auto Picture-in-Picture” option right away, open the site’s Permissions in your browser settings. From there, you can view and manage all available permissions, including Auto PiP.
