iPad Announcing "PiP-it!": picture-in-picture straight from the YouTube App

[sherwinzadeh]

Hey guys, I'm Sherwin, an indie developer, and I just wanted to announce PiP-it!

iOS 14 brought a lot of attention by bringing picture-in-picture, a feature that's existed on iPad since iOS 9, to the iPhone. But many apps, like the YouTube app, do not enable this feature. With PiP-it! you can use the Share extension to launch a video picture-in-picture straight from the YouTube. PiP-it! also works with videos in Photos and in Files and many websites in Safari that also block picture-in-picture.

Download PiP-it! here

Try it for free and if you like it, just pay just $1.99 one-time.

Great for:
• Watching a video uninterrupted when you want to check emails or messages
• Taking notes while watching a video
• Listening to music videos while working

PiP-it is available for iPad in iOS 13 and will add iPhone support when iOS 14 is released.

You might consider editing the sound on the video. It is very loud and distracts from paying attention to the video.

Good thing my sound is always off!

Is there a chance that a YouTube coding change will break this functionality?

Wanted to announce that PiP-it 2.0 is out now for iOS 14 with support for the iPhone. Now you can watch ad-free picture in picture from the YouTube app.

Another new feature in 2.0 is the ability to create playlists so you watch a set of videos picture in picture without interaction and without ads! This is a great feature for watching music videos.

The iPad version's also been updated with a new iPadOS 14 sidebar UI.
