Android O introduces new feature, now watch videos while using another app

The Developer Preview for Android’s latest version is in the market now— with an exciting new feature which was previously available on just Android TV: picture-in-picture support.

According to the press reports, the update will allow users to continue watching a video on a corner of the screen while simultaneously using another app. For instance, now you can continue watching YouTube while also using Google Maps.

The feature is similar to the Samsung’s multi-window support, but Android O will let users set their own aspect ratios, and you’ll get custom interaction buttons like play/pause to directly support video display.

“Other new windowing features include a new app overlay window for apps to use instead of system alert window, and multi-display support for launching an activity on a remote display,” Google informed.
