This is for (at least) the Mac version on Wyze Camera App
Please add a “Float on Top“ option so we can keep the Mac window on top.
The implementation should be similar to Open Source Mac VLC App for Videos: VLC –> Video –> Float on Top
I’m using the iOS/Mac Wyze App and it is pretty good, but I can see some improvements.
Thanks

Welcome to the Forum, @yngliu! 
What you’re suggesting seems almost like a Wishlist request, but it’s not something I’d expect Wyze to implement (at least not any time soon) for at least two reasons:
When I run VLC on Ubuntu Linux (with GNOME as the DE), I do see an “Always on top” option beneath “View” in the menu, but if I right-click the application’s title bar I see that I can also select “Always on Top” from that pop-up menu, and that’s a function of the DE. I’d look to see if your macOS version has a similar feature, because if I do a Web search for macOS keep app on top, then I get results that link to pages with advice like this:
One of the simplest ways to keep a window on top of others on your Mac is to use built-in features that are already available in macOS. While these features may not offer as much customization or flexibility as third-party applications, they can be useful for basic tasks and scenarios.
One such feature is the “Float on Top” option, which allows you to keep a specific window on top of all other windows on your Mac. To enable this feature, simply open the window you want to keep on top, click on the window’s title bar, and select “Float on Top” from the drop-down menu.
I’m not a Mac user, so I can’t vouch for that advice, but I’m also seeing suggestions for third-party apps to achieve this effect, so in your case I’d probably be looking for a built-in OS feature or a third-party utility to manage the app window rather than wait for Wyze to implement something like this.
Yeah, it seems right now MacOS Wyze is a iOS Wyze app.
We should wishlist a native MacOS Wyze app that implements a “Float on Top“ feature, as well as other native features.
For example, its not possible to enlarge the picture window, unless you select full screen.
Can do other trackings/analytics like “license plate” handling across multiple Wyze cameras…
But important Wishlists items

That jibes with what I’ve read, including in Bring the Wyze iOS app to macOS.
You can create the topic. It’s important to read How to Use the Wishlist first.
Wyze specifically requested feedback about this several months ago.
Regarding other things you’d like to do with the app specific to macOS, I wonder if @habib might have any advice. I think he uses the Wyze app on a Mac quite a bit. Regarding the floating bit, though, I’d still wonder if you’d be better off looking within the OS itself or trying a third-party solution to manage that feature for you.
Actually I don’t, I only use it occasionally and mostly to demonstrate to others that it works on a Mac. I use the phone and the iPad mainly. As for floating window, not sure if it works, I might try it on the weekend as I need to update it first to the latest iPad version.
My bad. I was thinking I’d read that you did this fairly regularly when monitoring some things.
Thanks for responding and offering to check! 
Oh yeah, can you make the iOS app available to Apple Vision Pro? I think its just a checkmark in the App store.

That’s not up to me, as I don’t work for Wyze. That’s certainly something you could include in a Wishlist request, though.
Why would anyone want to do that? How many people that buy $40 cameras can afford $3,500 glasses?
It should be just checkmarking iOS for Apple Vision Pro. No extra code! And people would have $3,500 glasses for other reasons. Although for two camera and, little code, can build a 3D stereoscopic viewer.

There is no financial gain for Wyze…
NP, I just updated the Wyze app on my Mac and tried PIP. It’s not working for me, works fine on my iPad and iPhone.
