The benefits of PiP mode on Smart TVs

  • Multitasking made easy: Picture-in-Picture allows you to watch two types of content at the same time. You can catch a live cricket match while browsing social media or watch a movie while streaming news updates. This feature saves time and provides entertainment without interruptions.
  • Flexibility in screen positioning: PiP gives users the ability to adjust the smaller screen window’s size and position. This means you can customise the viewing experience according to your preferences. It works well for those who want a clutter-free yet effective multitasking setup.
  • Effortless switching between content: With PiP, switching between primary and secondary content becomes seamless. You can pause, resume, or swap the content in the main screen and inset window with just a few clicks. This makes navigation user-friendly and stress-free.
  • Improved productivity: PiP is not just for entertainment – it is a productivity booster too. Professionals can use it for virtual meetings while checking presentations or documents on the larger screen. Students can watch online lectures while taking notes on another app.
  • Enhanced viewing control: With PiP, you have complete control over what you watch. Easily minimise the inset window if it is obstructing the view or reposition it without pausing your programme. This ensures a tailored viewing experience every time.

Adjusting picture size and position in PiP mode

Adjusting the inset screen in PiP mode is both intuitive and customisable. Most Smart TVs allow users to resize the smaller screen to avoid blocking important content on the main display. This resizing can be done through the settings or dedicated buttons on the remote. You can also drag and drop the inset window to any corner of the screen. This feature is particularly useful when watching fast-paced content like sports, where the main action needs to remain unobstructed. Furthermore, users can adjust the transparency of the inset screen on certain TVs to create a semi-transparent viewing experience. This allows for better focus without distractions.

Frequently asked questions

How do I turn on Picture-in-Picture (PiP) on my Smart TV?
To activate PiP, navigate to the Picture or Display settings on your Smart TV. Each brand has its specific steps, but the option is usually located under the advanced settings menu. Some TVs may also have a dedicated button on the remote control for PiP activation. If you cannot locate the option, refer to your TV’s user manual for detailed instructions. Additionally, ensure that the primary content source and secondary input are compatible with the PiP feature. Once enabled, you can adjust the size and position of the secondary window for a more customised viewing experience.

Does PiP work with all TV apps and content?
No, PiP is supported by select apps and input sources only. It generally works well with live TV channels, HDMI inputs, and streaming apps that are compatible with the feature. Popular apps like YouTube and Netflix may support PiP, but availability depends on your TV’s brand and operating system. Check the app settings or your TV’s manual to confirm PiP compatibility. If the app or channel does not support PiP, the feature may not function as expected. For a seamless experience, ensure that both the primary and secondary content sources are PiP-enabled.

Can I watch two live channels at the same time with PiP?
Yes, you can watch two live channels simultaneously if your TV is equipped with dual tuners. This feature allows the TV to process signals from two separate sources at the same time. Without dual tuners, PiP mode may not work for live channels but could still function with other input sources like HDMI. To enjoy this feature, check your TV’s specifications or consult the user manual. Make sure that both channels are configured correctly, and your antenna or cable setup supports multiple tuners. It is an excellent way to stay updated on live sports while catching up on your favourite show.

What should I do if PiP is not working on my Smart TV?
If PiP mode is not working, start by ensuring that your TV’s firmware is up to date, as software updates often fix bugs and improve functionality. Next, confirm that the PiP feature is enabled in the settings menu. If the issue persists, consult your TV’s user manual for troubleshooting steps or visit the manufacturer’s website for guidance. Ensure that the input sources you are trying to use are compatible with PiP. For unresolved problems, contact customer support for your TV brand. They can assist with advanced troubleshooting or recommend repair services if required.

Is PiP available on all Smart TV models?
No, PiP mode is not a universal feature on all Smart TVs. It is typically available on higher-end models or TVs with advanced multitasking capabilities. Before purchasing a TV, check the specifications to see if PiP is listed as a feature. Some brands may offer PiP as a premium function, requiring specific hardware or software support. If your current TV does not support PiP, consider upgrading to a newer model that includes this functionality. Understanding your TV’s capabilities will help you make the most of its features and enhance your viewing experience.
