Are you running Android version 8.0 or later on your device? If so, you can make use of the picture-in-picture or PiP feature. The feature lets users multitask. For example, enabling this feature will let you look for the best cafes in your town while you are video chatting with your friend or family member. You can even give directions by following Google Maps to someone while watching a comedy video.
If you jump from app to app and consider yourself a heavy multitasker, you will hugely benefit from the PiP feature. But if you are an Apple user, how to do picture in picture on Mac? Mac users will need the right tools to enable picture-in-picture on their Mac. But you can use the feature without any tools when using Safari and watching YouTube videos. Open the Safari browser > go to youtube.com > click on the video you want to watch > right-click on the video twice > choose Enter Picture in Picture.
With that settled, here’s how to use the PiP mode on your Android device.
PiP is an Android feature, and that’s why most of Google’s top applications support this feature, including YouTube, Google Chrome, and Google Maps.
However, to use PiP on YouTube, you need a subscription. You must be a YouTube Premium member. Moreover, the PiP mode works with YouTube TV, which is the company’s streaming TV service.
Other apps compatible with the PiP feature are Netflix, Instagram, Hulu, VLC, Pocket Casts, WhatsApp, and Facebook.
To use this feature, ensure all your apps are updated and compatible with the latest updated version. If the apps need to be updated, go to Google Play Store and check for updates. If there are any available, click Update and install the changes.
Open Settings > tap Apps & Notifications > tap Advanced > Special App Access > choose Picture-in-picture > select an app from the list > tap the Allow picture-in-picture toggle so that PiP is enabled.
Launching PiP mode will depend on the application you are using.
Once you have figured out how to launch the PiP mode in your favorite applications, you will see a window with the video and other content in your display’s lower-right corner.
You can access the controls by tapping the window. In most cases, you will see Fast Forward, Play, Maximize, or Full Screen and Rewind options. This will bring you back to the application in full screen.
Tap the Fast-forward icon in the playlists, and you can move to the next song on the list. Some videos will only have Full-screen and Exit icons.
You can drag the window anywhere on your screen and pull it to the screen’s bottom to exit it. If the app has a headphone icon, you can tap it to play the audio in the background with the video.
Now you know how to use the PiP mode on your Android devices. It will help you to multitask effortlessly so you can work on your apps while watching the video you want.
