Description from store
Picture-in-Picture Shortcut adds a keyboard shortcut and toolbar button for switching video players to the Picture-in-Picture mode in web browsers. The default keyboard shortcut is Ctrl+Period (Command+Period on Mac), but it can be changed from the browser settings. The Picture-in-Picture Shortcut extension button in the browser's toolbar can be used to toggle PiP mode.
Google Chrome and other Chromium browsers have a built-in Picture-in-Picture button in the default media controls, but it isn't always available and requires multiple mouse clicks. Picture-in-Picture Shortcut also overrides sites that don't normally allow Picture-in-Picture mode, and attempts to add a play/pause button to the PiP popup. However, this may not always work for sites and players not originally built for PiP mode.
This extension is open-source under the GPLv3 license, the code is available on GitHub: https://github.com/corbindavenport/pip-shortcut

- (2022-07-16) Owen: Works well. There's also the extension: [ wipeyy - Controllable "picture in picture". ] In addition to setting a keyboard shortcut to toggle PiP, this extension also allows you to set another 3 keyboard shortcuts to toggle play/pause, and to skip forward / back 10 seconds, which even work outside of Chrome (if you individually set the keyboard shortcuts to "Global" rather than "In Chrome" in "chrome://extensions/shortcuts").

I am not able to use this on websites that are not Youtube. When I try to give the extension access to a website, I am not able to. - (2022-10-14, v:1.1) Brandon Rice: Alt+P Shortcut Does Not Seem To Be Working Anymore
Hi, using alt+p does not trigger the picture in picture mode anymore. I can use it by clicking the extension but the shortcut doesn't work. I am using a Pixelbook Go i5, 8gb, 128. Hope there is a fix for this!
