Is Picture-In-Picture supported in BlazorWebView?
You see i tried to implement a PIP that similar to video calls (Ex. Skype,Messenger,Instagram).
if i missing some declaration and implement please correct me or atleast give documentation for blazor hybrid thank you!
```
@_iceStatus
@code{
private async Task EnabledPIP()
{
await JSRuntime.InvokeVoidAsync("enablePiP");
}
}
```
I would like to execute a remote video at very least (it should be both but it seems pip only trigger one video).
```
async function enablePiP() {
const video = document.getElementById("remoteVideo");
if (video !== null && video.readyState >= 3) {
if (video.requestPictureInPicture) {
await video.requestPictureInPicture().catch(error => {
console.log('PiP failed:', error);
});
}
}
}
```
Added SupportPictureInPicture = true, ResizeableActivity = true in MainActivity.cs
```
[Activity(Theme = "@style/Maui.SplashTheme", MainLauncher = true, LaunchMode = LaunchMode.SingleTop, SupportsPictureInPicture = true, ResizeableActivity = true, ConfigurationChanges = ConfigChanges.ScreenSize | ConfigChanges.Orientation | ConfigChanges.UiMode | ConfigChanges.ScreenLayout | ConfigChanges.SmallestScreenSize | ConfigChanges.Density)]
public class MainActivity : MauiAppCompatActivity
```
but unfortunately it still throws Not SupportedError

I already posted the same question in community no one answer so i posted here as well.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the NotSupportedError on Android API 35 using the BlazorWebView markup, the enablePiP JavaScript function, and the MainActivity.cs attributes shown in the issue. Check whether requestPictureInPicture is supported in this setup and whether one or both video elements can participate. Done means a verified supported path or clear documentation of the limitation and required configuration.
