Picture-in-Picture (PiP) lets you keep watching Sparkk TV in a small floating window while you use other apps or browse elsewhere on your device.
Availability depends on your device, browser, and operating system.
What Picture-in-Picture does
Watch while multitasking.
When PiP is supported, you can:
Continue watching while switching apps or tabs
Keep video visible while checking messages or browsing
Move the PiP window around your screen
This is especially useful on mobile devices and desktops with multitasking support.
Using Picture-in-Picture
How to enable it.
If PiP is available on your device:
Look for the Picture-in-Picture icon in the video player
Or use your browser’s built-in PiP option (varies by browser)
Once enabled, the video will continue playing in a small overlay window.
Supported devices and browsers
What to expect.
Picture-in-Picture support varies by platform:
Many modern desktop browsers support PiP
Most recent mobile operating systems support PiP in compatible browsers
Some devices or browsers may pause playback when you switch apps
If PiP isn’t available, this behavior is controlled by your operating system — not Sparkk TV.
When playback pauses
Why it can happen.
On some devices, video playback may stop when you:
Switch apps
Lock your screen
Leave the browser entirely
This is often done to conserve battery life and data usage. If your device supports PiP, enabling it before switching apps usually prevents playback from stopping.
Tips for the best PiP experience
Small adjustments that help.
To improve multitasking playback:
Use an up-to-date browser or OS
Enable PiP before switching apps
Keep Sparkk TV active in the foreground briefly before multitasking
Behavior may vary depending on system settings.
What Picture-in-Picture does not do
Clear expectations.
PiP does not:
Change streaming quality
Override device-level restrictions
Work on all devices
Support depends entirely on your device and software environment.
