  2. If you are running an Android Oreo or later version on your Android device, chances are you have used many apps which support picture-in-picture(PiP) mode. When you close the app, a floating screen pops up on the screen so you can use multiple apps at the sametime. In case you don’t know, Picture-in-picture is a multi-window feature for apps that remain open on-screen without covering the whole screen, such as video calls, media player, and navigation. You can watch your favorite video on a small window at the corner of the screen while going through content or apps on the main display. The PIP window opens in the top corner of the screen and you can drag it to anyplace.

  3. Basically, the Picture-in-Picture mode is enabled on Android devices by default (all you need to have is Android 8 or a later version on your device). You can also check yourself and ensure it is enabled for each app by going to settings. Here are the detailed steps– First of all, open the Settingsapp. Go to Picture-in-Picture under Apps & Notifications > Special app access Find and select the app that you want to allow for this feature from the list of apps supportingPicture-in-picture Switch the “on” toggle button to enable thisfeature Now you can use this feature whenever you need it. Whenever you minimize amedia player app, it will simply show up on the corner of the screen. YouTube is the only exception to this feature. As you may know, YouTube’s free version doesn’t support background video playback. It asks for a YouTube Premium subscription for using thisfeature. TurnonPiPModeonAndroid10

If you are playing video and other media on some of the most common apps like YouTubePremium,Rocks Player, Chrome, and others, it should support this feature.
