This may have been around for awhile and I've never noticed it. Had a Firefox update and a notice about easily running a wee visual in the corner while the rest of the desktop is available for other thing such as work. Could watch a sporting event I suppose or a lecture. The lecture would be good as you could take notes during the lecture easily.

Anyone actually used a variation of this?

I saw something about it for Chrome but I haven't used it. I used something like it in Elementary OS. They let you actually take a video out of the browser and put it anywhere you want. For my desktop, I don't really need it as I have dual monitors. On the courses I've taken in programming, I will watch the lecture in one monitor while doing the exercise in the other.
