To stay ahead in the content game, Reliance Jio has been making long strides to ensure that the users get only the best when it comes to experiencing video-on-demand. Now, bringing a small but important feature for today’s users Reliance Jio has upgraded its JioTV application. The company has brought picture-in-picture mode for JioTV. Notably, this new feature will allow the users of JioTV to continue with their work like texting, browsing, typing or anything else while continuing to watch the video, movie or TV show in the small hovering thumbnail.
Picture-in-Picture Mode Now Available on JioTV
When you open the JioTV app page on Google Play Store, you will find that Reliance Jio has listed the latest features of the app. On the top, we get to see the mention of the picture-in-picture mode which will allow the users to continue their chatting, browsing or anything else while the video plays in the thumbnail. This way, users will be able to exit the JioTV app while the video continues to play in the small hovering screen. However, JioTV has also noted that the picture-in-picture functionality will only work on phones with Android 8.0 and above. While you install the application, you also might have to allow the picture-in-picture functionality in the settings for the JioTV app. On doing that, you will be able to shrink the screen while playing a video next time to turn to picture-in-picture mode.

Users could keep chatting, while the video was playing.
