Xfinity TV stream APP PIP?

[nc84]

Wouldn't it be normal for such an app to be possible to stream in a window on top of other open apps? Such a thing exists for other streaming apps like TUBI for example. Can xfinity ever be capable of this?

The Rogers Xfinity Stream app on iOS can do that.  Tap on the playing video to reveal the controls, then tap on the "two squares" PiP icon to the right of the "X" on the upper left of the screen.

That will "detach" the playing video.  You can then switch apps and the small video window will remain playing on top of the active app.

I guess I have a different version of the app since I have no such two boxes icon when I tap a playing video. I see a left back arrow in upper left. In upper right is cast icon and full screen toggle icon. That's it.

What device are you using?  How old is it, and is it running iOS or Android?

I am not an Android user so I have no idea whether or not the Xfinity Stream app supports PiP mode on that platform.

Works fine on my iPad Air.

OK i just confirmed that it doesnt have that PIP option on either of my android devices (which indicate the OS is up to date). However, as you note the option DOES appear on my IPAD. So will just accept it doesnt support Android OS for now. Thanks all.

I'm sure you probably looked, but the icon may not be identical or have the same placement...  Good Luck.
