Innovative Browsing Strategies with Picture-In-Picture Mode
Picture-in-Picture is an important feature on Windows and Android computers. It allows you to watch videos while they float on the screen of your desktop or smartphone. Microsoft Edge has PIP on Android and all other platforms to enable you to float videos on your screen on mini mode. And you can watch them as you perform other tasks on different apps and programs.
Part 1. How to Enable and Disable Picture in Picture in Edge
To exploit the PIP mode on your desktop computer, there are simple steps to follow to achieve this. And once you are in PIP mode, you can turn it off at your convenience.
Turn on PIP
You can turn on PIP on Microsoft Edge using four different methods.
- Using PIP Button
- By Using Global Media Control
- By installing Picture in Picture Extension on Microsoft Edge
- Right-click on a playing video
