With version 5, elementaryOS introduced a picture-in-picture feature, allowing one to select any screen area and confine it to a floating rectangle above other windows. (Demoed here)

Is it possible to get this feature in Ubuntu?

EDIT: Just to further specify: I'm not looking for a full-screen window or a separate workspace in a picture-in-picture. What I'm looking for is elementaryOS's implementation of picture-in-picture, which allows picking any area within a window.

  • I installed Elementary OS just to try the feature - yup, this is what I was hoping to get when I asked this question: https://askubuntu.com/questions/797614/can-i-have-a-window-showing-small-live-preview-of-another-workspace It does exactly what I needed. I hope someone can port that feature to Ubuntu 16.04/18.04. In the meantime, I'm ok with what @jacobvlijm provided. – AnthonyK Sep 12 '19 at 07:04
