ytdl _HSylqgVYQI --print-url | open-pip

Using the twitch-url-cli module, you can stream a Twitch channel (you need a Twitch client ID though)

Requirements

As the native picture-in-picture player is only available in macOS Sierra (10.12) and above, this module will also only work with those versions.
