Here's the answer:

https://ctrlq.org/youtube/pip/

Bookmark it. It lets you take a URL from a video off of the YouTube app and paste it for a video that allows you to use Picture-in-Picture.

So you can continue to work and play with YouTube floating in its own window!

F**k you Google, and your attempts to ruin the iOS experience... and Thank you awesome developer of this workaround!

Enjoy

To be honest, I find the use of the genuine app for account tasks, search and exploring etc more convenient and pasting it over, but each to their own!

Any decent YouTube apps that support PIP? I saw previously that was pulled and don't recall seeing any others.
