Picture-in-Picture (PiP) lets you keep a small floating window of your meeting on top of other applications. This way, you can stay engaged while working on something else. With PiP, you can:
- Keep the meeting visible while switching tabs or applications
- Follow participant video while taking notes or checking documents
- Access key in-meeting controls (mute, camera, chat, etc.)
- See notifications like chat messages or join requests
PiP is only available on Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge and the Desktop App*

- Click or tap the layout button in the top right.
