Using picture-in-picture in playback mode

If you see something that you want to investigate, but you don't want to stop observing the current situation, you can display live video using picture-in-picture (PiP) and play back video at the same time.

  1. Switch from live mode to playback mode by tapping MobC_Android_Playback_icon_I.png (Android) or MobC_iOS_Playback_icon_I.png (iOS).

  2. Depending on the operating system on your device:

    • Android - Tap MobC_Android_PiP_icon_I.png.

    • iOS - Tap MobC_iOS_PiP_icon_I.png.

    Note

    Incoming audio is not available in PiP when you use the feature while you view video recordings.

    Note

    To move the PiP window, tap and hold, and drag the PiP window to the preferred place on the screen.

Return to live video
