21 Exciting Things the Surface Pro Can Do

Multitask with Picture-in-Picture

You can watch movies and television shows while doing other things on your Surface Pro using Picture-in-Picture.

Picture-in-Picture shrinks the size of a video app and drops that app in the top-right corner of your screen. You’re free to move the app around or resize it, but it will always sit on top of whatever else you have open. It’s an ideal way to continue working in Microsoft Word while winding down for lunch with an episode of your favorite TV show in Microsoft Movies & TV, for example.

Picture-in-Picture is still a new feature, so not many music and video apps have it. Besides Microsoft Movies & TV, the feature also works with MyTube for YouTube and Groove Music.
