How To Use Youtube Picture In Picture On Iphone And Ipad

How to enable YouTube Picture-in-picture on iPhone and iPad

To use YouTube’s PiP feature, you need to first allow your iPhone to use PiP automatically for apps that support it. After that, you need to go to the app, and make sure the app’s built-in option is enabled as well. Note: Do not close YouTube on your iPhone or iPad.

Control PiP window on iPhone

Once the YouTube video has entered PiP mode, there’s a set of actions you can perform. I have outlined them below.

Change position: You can drag the PiP overlay and place it in any corner of your iPhone screen. Hide video: When PiP is playing, simply drag the mini-screen to the left or right border of your screen to hide the visuals. The audio will continue to play in the background. To minimize or expand PiP, simply double-tap it. You can further pinch-in/pinch-out to resize the PiP window. To view the playback controls, tap the PiP overlay. You will see Play/Pause, forward, and backward buttons. To exit the video, tap the PiP window and select the “X” button. To return to the app, tap the expand button on the PiP player controls.
