EDIT: Found what I was looking for, scroll down for my next reply to check it out!! Enjoy.

It struck me while playing Path of Exile... farming another 100s of hours could be much more pleasant if I would be able to watch Youtube videos in a small-sized window.

Although I'm not 100% sure, probably some bright-minded fella already came up with some kind of method to do this, I tried googling for something like this but I'm getting weird results.

Does anyone know of a software/method which would allow to have a small sized window (movable) on top of a game so that I could watch YouTube while playing?

I guess the closest thing to this that comes into mind is the Skype mini-window that pops up if you alt+tab out of Skype while talking to someone, so that You can still see him in a small window...

Hopefully i was able to narrow it down...

This is definitely possible but may cause issues because video games are programmed to stay on top and this will interfere and cause a CPU leak.

My suggestion is to play your game windowed and watch them side by side.
