Hello Guys,

Today we will learn the structure of picture in picture with you.

If you’re ready, let’s get started 😁

What is the Picture in Picture (PiP) ? 🤔

  • Picture in Picture (PiP) playback was introduced in iOS 9.
  • It lets iPad users play video in a moveable, resizable window that floats over the apps onscreen.
  • It brings a new level of multitasking capabilities to the iPad, enabling users to continue playback while performing other activities on their devices.
  • This feature is found in Apple’s built-in video playback apps, and is available to your apps through the AVKit framework.

Note : PiP used only in iPAD applications.

Applications that support PiP playback present a small button in the lower-right corner of the video playback window. Tapping this button minimizes the video display to a small floating window, letting the user perform other activities in the primary application or even in another application.

After learning the pip structure, let’s make an example.
