If you’re using Picture-in-Picture (PiP) mode in Google Chrome, an experimental flag may give you the ability to quickly mute a video. Here’s how to turn on and use the mute feature in picture-in-picture mode.
When you turn on any of chrome://flags you are using experimental features that have not been tested on all devices and may not work correctly. You may run into a few bugs along the way, so be careful when playing with some of the available flags.
The experiment flag works with both the native browser feature and the Chrome extension, but we’ll be using the extension in this tutorial for our examples.

You need to restart Chrome for the changes to take effect. Click the blue Restart Now button at the bottom of the page.
