Initially limited to only Premium users, YouTube's picture-in-picture (PiP) mode is now rolling out to non-Premium subscribers outside the US. YouTube's PiP mode is currently rolling to non-Premium users in Italy, and is likely to be introduced to other countries gradually.
You can use picture-in-picture (PiP) to watch content across YouTube, with a YouTube Premium membership. If you don't have YouTube Premium and are in the United States, you can still use PiP, but you can't watch certain content, like music videos.
