TL;DR Google TV is finally introducing picture-in-picture mode in Android 14 for TV after previously being supported on phones since Android 8.0. However, it won’t be enabled for media content. This feature allows you to view a video in a small window overlaying other apps. Google TV is based on Android TV OS, but not all Android TV devices support PiP due to low RAM. With the upcoming Android 14 for TV update, PiP will be available on select Google TV devices that meet hardware compatibility criteria. Google has specified four categories of content allowed in PiP mode on TV: communications, smart home integrations, health, and tickers. App developers need to declare the corresponding categories in their apps’ manifest files to enable PiP mode. Google has set guidelines for apps supporting PiP mode on Android TV to ensure a quality user experience and functionality. Developers interested in adding PiP support in their Android TV apps can refer to Google’s documentation for specific TV-related features.
There’s a catch, but Picture-in-picture mode is finally coming to Google TV
