Does Picture-in-Picture mode support Oreo?

I am working on Chat application in which you can share YouTube links. I want to play YouTube videos in my app like WhatsApp does. I do think they play video in PIP mode.

  1. How do they play YouTube videos in app by using links?

  2. Is it supported in Android Oreo?

I tried this example, but it does not work with Android Oreo.

  1. Picture-in-picture allows to app run when the user switch to another app. The video popup on the WhastsApp is visible only in the app. It is not PIP. It's just a floating view which plays video in it.
  2. Picture-in-Picture requires Android 8.0 (API level 26) and above.
