To check if a browser supports picture-in-picture mode, you can use the pictureInPictureEnabled property in the global document object in JavaScript.

Picture-in-picture mode is a modern feature in browsers where the user will be able to play a video in an inset window (or a small separate window) even if the user is working on some other programs.

This is how you can check for the availability,

// Check if browser supports picture-in-picture mode
const doesitSupport = document.pictureInPictureEnabled;

console.log(doesitSupport); // true

• The property returns a boolean true if it supports picture-in-picture mode and false if not

• The pictureInPictureEnabled is still in a progress state at the time of the writing of this blog. Be sure to check the pictureInPictureEnabled compatibility table in caniuse.com.

See the above code live in JSBin.
