Picture-in-Picture (PiP) is an OTT feature that allows users to watch a video in a small, resizable window while simultaneously using other apps on their mobile device.

Using PiP provides a strong benefit to the user experience: users can continue to watch videos while using other apps at the same time - gaining a flexibility that allows them to multitask while not missing any of the content they are watching. 

What types of content is Picture-in-Picture most useful for? 

While any user will benefit from this feature, Picture-in-Picture is particularly useful for - 

  • Live Sports: Allows users to watch live games while checking stats or browsing social media. 
  • News: Enables viewers to stay updated with live news broadcasts while reading related articles or performing other tasks. 

Overall, Picture-in-Picture mode enhances the viewing experience for any type of video content, allowing viewers to take control of their app usage without interrupting their viewing experience. 

How can I enable this feature? 

First of all, your apps need to use Brightcove Player in order to enable this feature. 

If you have Brightcove Player enabled, go to Configuration > Features > Video Player in Accedo One, and scroll down to activate the feature. And you’re done!
