This feature can be used during playback of supported video types via either the Gallery, Play Videos, or Video player on Samsung Galaxy Note 2.

Note: Some applications might not allow this video to remain active in the foreground (ex: Camera/Camcorder screen).

This feature allows you to continue to view your video as a background operation while you multi-task and do other things, such as surf the Internet, access your Contacts list, look for a picture, etc..

From the Home screen, tap Apps icon.
Tap the desired video playback application.
Tap the desired video to begin playback.

Note: The Picture-In-Picture feature only works when using the Video player application. Other video players (ex: YouTube), do not support this feature.

As playback is initiated, locate and tap Picture-in-Picture icon from the bottom-right of the playback screen. Your current video is then sent to foreground of any new page and most application screens.
The video disappears from the screen once it ends.
