The capability to overlay a video stream onto another application presents a multitasking advantage for users of the short-form video platform’s live content. This functionality allows individuals to watch live broadcasts while simultaneously utilizing other applications on their mobile devices, such as browsing the web or responding to messages. The miniature video window remains visible and active, typically positioned in a corner of the screen, ensuring continuous access to the ongoing live event.
This feature enhances the user experience by providing greater flexibility and convenience. Individuals no longer need to dedicate their entire screen to the live broadcast, facilitating concurrent usage of multiple applications. Previously, users were limited to either watching the broadcast or using other mobile functionalities; now, both can occur seamlessly. This addresses a common user need for improved multitasking capabilities within the mobile environment.
