Does Picture-in-Picture Work with All YouTube Videos?

Published in Technology 2 mins read

No, Picture-in-Picture (PiP) does not work with all YouTube videos.

YouTube restricts PiP functionality for certain videos based on licensing agreements or content restrictions. This means that some videos, especially those with copyrighted music or specific content, might not allow PiP.

You can usually tell if PiP is available for a particular video by checking the player controls. If the PiP icon (a small square with an arrow pointing to the top right) is present, then PiP is enabled for that video.

Here are some additional factors that might affect PiP availability:

* **Mobile device:** PiP is generally available on both Android and iOS devices, but might be restricted by specific app versions or device settings.
* **Browser:** PiP functionality can vary depending on the browser you are using.
* **YouTube Premium:** YouTube Premium subscribers often have access to additional features, including PiP, even for videos that might not have it otherwise.

If you are unable to use PiP for a specific video, it is likely due to content restrictions or licensing agreements. You can try contacting the video creator or YouTube directly for more information.
