Picture-in-Picture

When your application moves to the background or the user switches to another app, the Picture-in-Picture (PiP) feature in Video SDK keeps the current video visible as a floating overlay window on screen. This lets users multitask without interrupting an ongoing call or viewing session, improving the multitasking experience and user retention.

PiP is useful in the following scenarios:

Use case	Description
Video calling	Keeps the call visible when the user switches apps or returns to the home screen. Useful for social calls, remote meetings, and online customer service.
Online education	Lets students watch a teacher's video explanation while reviewing study materials, taking notes, or using other apps.
Interactive live streaming	Lets viewers browse products, chat, or use other apps while the stream continues in the background. Useful for e-commerce and content live streaming.
Screen sharing	Keeps shared content visible when the user switches apps during remote collaboration or a presentation. Useful for remote work, technical support, and product demos.
