Picture in Picture stopped working on Microsoft Edge on mobile

I've tried literally every troubleshooting option that I can find on the web, it's enabled it in settings, I've tried resetting my phone, I've tried clearing the cache, I've tried everything. I tried making sure my phone is up to date, that Edge is updated.

But just randomly one day, picture in picture stopped working on Microsoft Edge on my phone, and I have no idea how to fix it.

    Hi, RedneckSoup

    Welcome to the Microsoft community.

    We tested the related issue, and on video websites that support the floating window feature, we can normally use the picture-in-picture function (you might need to switch to the desktop version of the webpage, but this doesn’t work for YouTube. YouTube’s floating window feature seems to require using the app and being in the US or having a YouTube Premium).

    You can first check if the floating window feature in your phone’s special permissions allows Edge to use it(In android settings) If it is enabled and still doesn’t work on the video websites you used before, you can try using a Canary version of Edge to see if the issue persists. If the problem still exists, you can use Edge’s feedback feature to report the issue to the Edge development team and wait for them to fix the feature.

    Best regards
