Quick tip
When is picture-in-picture most useful during lesson planning?
Picture-in-picture is especially helpful when you want to review a video while searching for related resources, adding the video to playlists, or preparing activities. Keeping the video visible while navigating ClickView helps you stay focused and saves time switching between screens.
What is picture-in-picture mode?
Picture-in-picture (PiP) mode allows you to watch videos in a floating window that stays on top of other screen content, letting you continue exploring ClickView or reading supplementary information while your video remains visible.
Enable picture-in-picture mode
- Play any video in ClickView.
- On the video player, click the picture-in-picture icon.
- The video will display in a smaller floating window. You can now navigate ClickView and interact with other resources while the video continues to play.
Note: If you play another ClickView video, it will take control of the picture-in-picture feature.
Exit picture-in-picture mode
- To close the picture-in-picture window, click the ‘X’ in the bottom right-hand corner of the PiP window.
- To make the video the focus again, click the maximise button.
