How to Use Picture-in-Picture Mode

As you know, Picture-in-Picture mode is one of the most notable features on Android Oreo, allowing users to run multitasking efficiently and perform many tasks at the same time.

In YouTube, when you watch a video and press the back button to find another video, the video being played will be moved to a small corner at the bottom right of the screen. On Android Oreo operating system, this feature is similar. However, instead of having only a small video window limited to a single app, you can use it anywhere in the operating system. It is a new step in Android's split screen layout.

Suppose you are watching the NF video of Green Lights, but you also need to check Google Feed. You just need to press the Home button. This video will become a minimized window in the bottom right corner of the screen and you can perform tasks other than this app. You can even drag miniaturized tasks to anywhere on the screen and do many things at once.

To expand or close the video, just select it to display the options. The square button in the middle of the small screen displays it in the app (the example in the picture is YouTube), and the headset icon will close the preview mode and play the sound in the background (if you have registered YouTube Red).

Currently, Picture-in-Picture mode only works in some Google apps: Chrome (all versions), Duo, Play Movies, Maps and YouTube. However, make sure that when Oreo becomes famous, many other apps will have this feature.
