Top Flutter Picture-in-picture packages

Last updated: December 4, 2024

Picture-in-picture or PiP is a special type of multi-window mode mostly used for video playback. It lets the user watch a video in a small window pinned to a corner of the screen while navigating between apps or browsing content on the main screen. PiP leverages the multi-window APIs to provide the pinned video overlay window. To add PiP to your app, you need to register your activities that support PiP, switch your activity to PiP mode as needed, and make sure UI elements are hidden and video playback continues when the activity is in PiP mode. The PiP window appears in the topmost layer of the screen, in a corner chosen by the user (default by system).

The complete list of Flutter packages that can be used to add Picture-in-picture or PiP mode to your Flutter app is provided below.
