Picture in Picture option in FileBox video playback settings

What you can do

Keep watching in a system floating window after leaving FileBox, with an option to enable Picture in Picture by default.

How to use it

  1. Choose the default video Picture in Picture preference in Settings → General Settings. You can also adjust it in the current task’s playback options.
  2. Enable Picture in Picture for a supported video task, then send FileBox to the background to show the floating window.
  3. Return to FileBox to close the floating window and continue in the player.

Before you start

Availability depends on the device, source and task state. A default preference does not make every video eligible. Some subtitle combinations cannot appear in the floating window; video-only output may be used instead.
