If you’re using Google Chrome’s Picture-in-Picture (PiP) mode, an experimental flag can give you the ability to mute the video quickly. Here’s how to enable and use the mute feature for Picture-in-Picture mode.
When you enable anything from chrome://flags
, you’re using experimental features that haven’t been tested on all devices and could misbehave. You can potentially run into a few bugs along the way, so be careful when playing around with some of the available flags.
The experimental flag works on both the browser’s built-in feature and the Chrome extension, but we’ll be using the extension in this guide for our examples.

Fire up Chrome, type chrome://flags
into the Omnibox, hit Enter, and then type “Experimental web platform” into the search bar.
Alternatively, paste chrome://flags/#enable-experimental-web-platform-features
into the Omnibox, and then hit Enter to go directly to the flag.
Click the drop-down box next to “Experimental Wen Platform” flag and then click “Enabled.”
