Frndly TV is a live TV streaming service that specializes in family-friendly programming for live, on-demand and recorded content.

The service starts at just $5.99 a month and is a great way to stream Hallmark’s 2020 Countdown to Christmas movies live and when you want to as well. We have a review of the service as well.

With that said, for those who are always doing multiple things at once on their Mac but want to get into the Christmas spirit at the same time, there is a way to do so on the Mac thanks to Picture-In-Picture.

Picture-In-Picture is not natively supported on Frndly TV, but there is a Safari extension that makes this possible. It is PiPifier, which is a free extension and app available in the Mac App Store.

Once installed on your Mac, open Safari, go to Frndly TV, sign into your account and start streaming a channel. When your movie has begun, click on the PiPifier icon on Safari’s toolbar and it should move the content into a window you can move around while working on other tasks.

In other good news, this feature works for live, on-demand and recorded content on the service.

This feature at this time only works on the Mac and only with the PiPifier extension. Frndly TV does not have Picture-In-Picture or SplitView support on its iOS or iPadOS apps.

Is this a feature you are to use if you’re a Frndly TV subscriber? Let us know on Twitter at @appleosophy.
