Marketing styles it as macOS nowadays, but anyway the modern way is when you are watching a video, click on the button that makes it pop out.
For example this clip on Vimeo https://vimeo.com/channels/staffpicks/361821058 https://vimeo.com/channels/staffpicks/361821058
in the bottom-right, one-to-last button is the popout button. The clip will now hover over all other windows. Other websites have other buttons, or have this in the generic right-click menu. And some simply don't offer this.
If you're asking for a way to keep any window on top in macOS, there isn't a way. The above also works in Safari, but not in Firefox.

- cerberusss 7y agoOh yeah, tell me about it. I used Linux for many years on the desktop, until I changed career into iOS development. I really missed it. One redeeming grace is that macOS does support virtual desktops quite well. That, combined with a nice 32" monitor, means I no longer need it as often. But it's a miss, to be sure. Edit: if the "popout video" button isn't there for a video on a website, then it's in the right-click menu. Of course, some (most?) websites including Youtube have a custom right-click menu. To get it back, there is an extension, but boy what a hassle.
