Picture-in-Picture (PiP) Feature

Well it would seem that this feature has been requested for years and so far no progress. Hope they can do something about it in the near future!

Any updates on PIP support? Wyze Team: we all might just switch to a different camera product that gets our use case!

Just keeping it he topic alive that I would live to see PIP support for both iOS and Android platforms without having to use the Android split screen option. I think this would be so valuable for use to monitor a camera for arriving deliveries or for when ppl are dropping by to pickup items.

PiP - Picture In Picture IOS - Apple

Picture in Picture (like YouTube and other apps have implemented) would be so amazing!!! This helps me keep an eye on my sleeping baby from afar while working from my phone. This is such a key feature that would make such a difference!!!

Please implement PIP!!! All the streaming/video apps are doing this… why not Wyze???

[Mod Edit] Merged with an existing wishlist topic. Give it a vote to help it along!

This was exactly how I used tiny cam pro on my android. It supported Picture in Picture on android and could be configured for Wyze cameras.

I’m really missing the ability to do this on my iPhone

I hear ya, but don’t hold your breath. Not a lot of interest here for app features that are exclusive to iPhone/iPad. Heck, I’m still waiting for proper implementation of app-wide (i.e. main menu) landscape orientation for my iPad. I first requested it back in early 2018.

Picture in picture not what i was hoping

Hi i am posting because i really hoped the picture in picture feature was going to be different than it is. Where the feature might be useful in some situations i thought it would be a smaller window that can be viewed while continuing with other apps on your phone. I used to use the Yi brand cameras which used that feature and it was the most used of all features. Please if it is possible can you add this on an update soon!

Commenting because I am surprised that Wyze doesn’t have this feature. Pretty disappointing as their equipment and applications seems so good in every other respect.

Please update this sorely needed function Wyze!

You can pip Wyze cam on Wyze web view

I use my wyze camera for monitoring manufacturing equipment in my den. Given this is a wifi camera. It would be pretty helpful to have the option to place a picture in picture of the cameras feed on my TV so I can monitor it without draining my phone.

The status of this wish has been updated to in-progress as the test for the first camera (Floodlight Pro) is now in beta testing.

I have been testing this feature on the Flood Light Pro in Beta and it worked great! It was just released today in the Production 2.44 App for the Flood Light Pro.

It places an always on top movable Live Stream window of the Flood Light Pro so that you can watch the stream while cruising around in other apps.

This is progress! I’m hoping this will quickly lead to integrating it into the rest of the cams!

Yeah! It looks like they have already added this for the new Battery Cam Pro they just launched too according to the latest app release notes:

Added support for Picture-in-Picture for Wyze Cam Floodlight Pro and Wyze Battery Cam Pro

Still waiting for this in even the v3.

Not to discourage the continued development of this feature, but not for how well they work or if they would. In playsuit for Android is apps called"floating apps" tried one before I could watch YouTube in a floating window while executing other functions and operations simultaneously. Was a bit sluggish but that could be on account of my historic device lol. A different app might work to a tolerable level. Until Wyze implements their own function. Of course.

Welcome to the Wyze User Community Forum @spiffymoo! :raising_hand_man:

I tested the Android Free version of the Floating Apps app. It has the ability to float only a very limited list of select apps in an overlay window. It would float a Wyze Widget icon, however I was unsuccessful in getting the app to float the Wyze App or any Live Stream of any Cam since the Wyze App is not one of the selected apps programmed to float in an overlay window.

Ya I came back to update that I had tried it and it’s was a no go wyze doesn’t like multi window either at least on my dated phone lol thanks for letting everyone know. Sorry took me so long to get back.

Picture in Picture feature

That allows people to continue to watch cameras after leaving the app

Still waiting on this to happen! Ring does it, so many apps do it. Why don’t you do it Wyze??? Please add this feature!

Is there any update when this will be coming to the Pan Cam V3?
