[Player Features](https://help.vidalytics.com/player-display-settings?hsLang=en#player-features) # Picture-in-Picture (PiP) Mode ## How to enable and use Picture-in-Picture mode so your video stays with viewers as they scroll your page. Picture-in-Picture (PiP) mode lets your viewers keep watching your video in a compact floating mini-player while they browse, read, shop, or fill out a form on the same page. The video moves with them — without ever leaving the page. **Note:** PiP is an in-page mini-player. It stays within the page where your video is embedded and does not pop out into a separate browser window or follow the viewer to other tabs or apps. **Availability & Restrictions** - Available on **all plans** - Works on both **desktop and mobile** browsers - Interface text ("Video is currently playing in small window," "Action required. Click to resume in full view.") is currently in **English only** #### **How to Enable PiP** 1. Go to your **Video Settings** 2. Click the **Style** tab 3. Locate the **Picture in Picture** section 4. Toggle on **Picture in Picture Mode** — this is the master switch that enables the feature and shows the PiP button on your player ![PIP RN 1.3](https://help.vidalytics.com/hs-fs/hubfs/PIP%20RN%201.3.gif?width=670&height=377&name=PIP%20RN%201.3.gif) Two additional toggles are available once PiP is enabled (both are off by default): - **Auto Enable on Scroll** — automatically opens PiP when the player scrolls out of the viewer's view, after it has already been visible on screen - **Auto Return to Player** — when an element requiring viewer interaction appears (such as a Play Gate or Smart Vid branch question), PiP automatically returns the viewer to the full player and scrolls them to it. #### **How it Works for Your Viewers** Once PiP is enabled on your video, here is what your viewers can do: - Click the **PiP button** in the player controls to pop the video into a floating mini-player — or, if Auto Enable on Scroll is on, simply scroll past the player and PiP opens automatically - **Drag** the mini-player anywhere on the page and **resize** it as needed - Control playback from the mini-player: play/pause, volume, seek bar, and captions - **Exit PiP** in one of two ways: - **Collapse** (PiP icon in the bottom-right of the control bar) — returns to the full player and keeps the video playing - **Close** (the × in the top-right corner) — returns to the full player and pauses the video **Note:** While PiP is active, the video's original position on the page will show a placeholder that reads "Video is currently playing in small window." **Tip:** Collapsing or closing PiP does not scroll the page — your viewer stays exactly where they are. #### **What Works Inside the Mini-Player** The following features work normally inside the PiP mini-player: - Smart Autoplay (click-to-unmute) - Resume Play - Countdown Timers - Rapid Engage Bar - Captions (including while the video is muted) The following features are **not available** inside the mini-player and will return the viewer to the full player: - Play Gates - Smart Vid branch questions - Clickable Areas - E-commerce elements When one of these elements appears, the viewer is returned to the full in-page player and scrolled to it automatically. If **Auto Return to Player** is enabled, this happens automatically. If it is off, the viewer will see an overlay with an **"Open Full View"** button they can click to return to the full player. #### **Multiple Videos on One Page** Only one video can be in PiP at a time. If a second video enters PiP, the first video's mini-player closes and it pauses in its original position on the page. #### **PiP and Fullscreen** If your video is in fullscreen, clicking the PiP button will exit fullscreen and switch to PiP mode. --- If you have any questions, feedback, or need assistance, feel free to reach out to our Customer Happiness Team at [hi@vidalytics.com](mailto:hi@vidalytics.com). 😊 -
