Details

On Windows, desktop notifications pop out at the same location as the default PiP window, i.e. lower right corner on the main monitor (see bug 1545752). Notifications, as well as those pop-outs from Windows notification area, obstruct the popped-out video.

Is it better to have PiP window popped out at the top or middle part on the right edge?

I planned to suggest remembering the last opened PiP position. But things may get complicated when monitor resolution or number of monitors change.

I think we should try to remember the last opened PiP position, as suggested in the comment 1.

Adding an endorsement for this feature request. I would see an option to "Remember last PIP position" with a "Reset" button. Then of course storing it each time it is moved / resized. I use PIP a lot however the default size is smaller than I'd like and I resize the window up many times a day.

It would be pretty helpful if it just remembered the previous position and continue.

Yeah this would be amazing

Summary: Change default Picture-in-Picture opened location → Change default Picture-in-Picture location / remember previous position/size

This would be great, i tend to use the PiP window on my second monitor and would save me having to move it manually with win+shift+<arrowkey>

One of the MSU students doing a capstone project is taking a stab at remembering the positioning in bug 1578985, so I'm going to dupe this over.
