Description
You can use firefox's picture-in-picture feature to pop out a video element or e.g. the promoted video element.
The main issue is we don't reuse the element, and so everytime someone else starts speaking the window is dismissed.
If we would reuse the same video element, and just change all parameters, it could remain popped out:
| Normal | PIP |
|---|---|

Research direction
Start by locating the promoted video element handling and the Firefox picture-in-picture flow in the JavaScript code. Trace how the element changes when a different speaker starts talking, then verify that reusing it preserves the popped-out window while updating the displayed speaker and other parameters.
