Avoid stealing focus when switching tab

[arnesten]

Hi,

I'm using the documentPictureInPicture feature to show a small stopwatch timer when switching to a different tab. However, the new PiP window always steals the focus when switching tab.

For example if I press CTRL+T to add a new tab in the browser, I expect to be able to type directly in the browser address field. But the PiP window takes over the focus. Would be great if that didn't happen, or at least was configurable like window.documentPictureInPicture.requestWindow({ focus: false }) or similar.

If using navigator.mediaSession.setActionHandler('enterpictureinpicture', handler) it doesn't appear to steal focus when the PiP is opened, but in my use case I'm not playing a video/audio.

Thoughts?

@arnesten hello! Did you find some workaround about this?

In my case I used navigator.mediaSession.setActionHandler('enterpictureinpicture', handler) and it worked nicely.
