Today's Quick Tip....
Do you ever wish you could watch a YouTube video in the corner of your screen while you're also using the computer for another task?
Well, you can by enabling a feature called "Picture In Picture".

1 - Open YouTube in a web browser on your laptop or desktop computer.
2 - Find a video you want to watch and click the Play button.
3 - Click the right mouse button twice and then select Picture in picture from the menu.
