What Is Picture-in-Picture Video?
Picture-in-picture video shows one video inside another, usually a webcam feed in a small window over a screen recording.
Picture-in-Picture Video
Picture-in-picture video puts a smaller video on top of a larger one, most often a speaker’s webcam over their screen. Viewers watch the screen while still seeing the presenter’s face in the corner.
It matters for videos where a personal presence helps, like walkthroughs and updates, without hiding the screen.
For example, a tutorial shows the software full screen with the presenter’s webcam tucked into a corner.
