About PiP-Tool

PiP tool is a software to use the Picture in Picture mode on Windows. This feature allows you to watch content (video for example) in thumbnail format on the screen while continuing to use any other software on Windows.
To use this tool, select a window and the region of the window, then validate. A new window (Always on the top) will appear with the selected region. The software does not work yet with minimized windows (If you're watching a video, and you minimize the window, the video in the Picture in Picture mode will stop)
