Floating is a very simple yet powerful app which lets you picture in picture (pin/stick/float) as many videos or photos on top of all windows. 

YouTube, Netflix, Vimeo, Twitch.TV, Bitchute links and photos are supported. YouTube playlists are also supported!

The idea for this app was heavily inspired by this Reddit post:

Simple steps:

- To float the link from the front most browser's tab, use shortcut: Control + Shift + Command + 9

This method relies on AppleScript to work and only supports Safari, Chrome, Brave and Opera. Firefox doesn't have proper AppleScript support. First time using this shortcut, MacOS will ask for permission to read browser's URL for privacy and security reasons. All this happens locally and is not logged anywhere from the app

OR drag video links or images into the menu bar icon or use the shortcut method:

- Copy as many video links or images or online image links to your clipboard. Alternatively you can take a screenshot or portion screenshot and put it in your clipboard using Control + Shift + Command + 4.

- Use the shortcut: Control + Shift + Command + 0
to float the items from clipboard always on top of all windows.

- You can scroll up or down on the floating windows to change transparency. Windows can be resized too and they maintain the image's aspect ratio.

- Use pinch to zoom (resize the window)

- Double tap the photo or top of a video window to zoom

Btw, if you aren't aware of MacOS shortcuts for screenshots, there are multiple ways to take them depending upon your workflow:

1. To take a screenshot of the full screen, press and hold these three keys together: Shift, Command and 3

2. To take a screenshot of a portion of the screen by selecting the area, press and hold these three keys together: Shift, Command and 4

3. To capture a window or menu, open the window or menu that you want to capture. Press and hold these keys together: Shift, Command, 4 and Space bar. The pointer changes to a camera icon

4. In any of the above methods, instead of saving the screenshot, if you want to copy the screenshot directly to the Clipboard, press and hold the Control key while you take the screenshot with the above steps.

I use Control + Shift + Command + 4 often in my workflow.
