I haven't been able to get Picture-in-Picture working since I've been on Android 8 - DP2 all the way through DP4. I've been hoping that when Android Oreo officially released that it'd fix the issue but I just upgraded and still can't get it to work. Has anyone else found a work around for this?

Yeah, is a YouTube Red subscription (or whatever it's called right now) still necessary?

People on Reddit claims that it doesn't work on YouTube unless you have YouTube Red. That's a shame

Yes, and it's working for me
Maybe it has something to do with the fact that they don't have a reliable / user friendly way to make ads work well while in YouTube PIP mode. Too bad, especially because 1) it's a #$%@ move. 2) YouTube Red is only available in select countries.
I am still getting the forced reboot when you have PIP for YouTube playing and then toggling the screen off and on. Anyone seeing this too?

It works on Duo, so I would try that and if it works then you'll know it's a YouTube v YouTube Red thing. I have Red and it works fine so I can't test this for you.
I also have Youtube Red, but it forces reboot for me if my screen is turned back on after it had turned off or if I turn off the screen while Youtube is playing in PIP mode.

I can confirm this happens when I use PiP as well. Can't let the screen turn off....
Have submitted to Google.
I have it working fine on Youtube Red.
Everyone on this thread -- the PiP mode only works for certain apps that support it. Not all apps support it. Also, all the apps that do support it will request for your permission to use the mode.
If you go to Apps & notifications > Special app access, you will find a permission node for picture-in-picture.
Here is a list of apps on my phone supporting PiP

Out of curiosity, what does PIP do for WhatsApp? Is it also for videos only?

After getting the latest youtube update i noticed that there is an image in the middle of my screen. (I think its the screen mirroring image) and it will not go away and is annoying when watching videos
is there a way to get rid of it without having to uninstall the updates?

I think this might be the issue as well, I'm running the latest YouTube app and my screen mirroring icon is the proper location. Is there something preventing you from reinstalling the app? or perhaps clearing the it's cache and seeing if that fixes it.
I'm having this problem too.
It only occurs when using bluetooth speaker or headphones.
The icon is at the correct location when not using bluetooth though.
Any help?
Hello there people
I ve just up dated my 6p to Android Oreo
But the notification dots and the pic in pic mode are enabled they don't seem to work or may be i am not doing it right if somebody can help me. I ve checked the dots in each app but still no luck. Aside of this the software is working perfectly fine with alot of bugs gone and i even feel it smother
For picture in picture mode to work, you need to update the Youtube application, and I believe you have to be a Youtube Red/Google Play Music subscriber for it to work.

when subscribed in pic in pic it only worked there!
but not in any other App
The are few apps that implemented it yet, video calls on WhatsApp, YouTube only with red subscription, videos in chrome (not youtube) and VLC player I believe
Google Now Launcher doesn't support notification dots. Download the Pixel launcher or the Lawnchair launcher if you want them.
I tried this and it worked . Pic in pic mode https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ZwLwO7T5Bg

Android Picture in Picture will not work on our N6p because the System UI Tuner has been removed by Google. BUT! you can get PIP to work with “Custom Navigation Bar” all you have to do is to add a custom button and Manual input Keycode #171 to the button.
Custom Navigation Bar:

No. I know that's needed for pip to work.
I'm having the same issues. When watching YouTube in browser pip appears for a second before disappearing. On the YouTube app I don't even get that.

Same issue, i've read an article from android police that it's because of the latest update from youtube ?
Is there any way to make apps like: YouTube, WatchESPN, NBC Sports, Dish Anywhere, etc. display full screen video around the camera instead of being cut of. Due to the cut off up top YouTube video's are also cut off at the bottom of the screen slightly.
Really interested in this also! Maybe with root?
I can say that MX Player videos get cropped and I wish they didn't.

Youtube Apk
There is a YouTube modded apk that allows the pinch to zoom feature to work for irregular aspect ratios. Im not 100% sure if this will work on the Essential Phone however it works perfectly fine on the LG G6, it should just crop out some of the video so it can go full screen. Just download the MS Config file and the YouTube apk, dark theme is optional. Unfortunately I cannot post any links as I am a new user, but you can find a link on the LG G6 full screen YouTube thread.

Yep, me too. Will watch this thread and hope they fix it soon.
Amazon Prime full screen display for 21:9 movies
Saw "Arrival" with Amazon Prime app which utilizes the whole screen including the camera notch bar. Wow! what a sight. Hope Netflix, Hulu and some other video player app can do the same soon.
I'm really upset at the lack of immersive experience. Not a single video app takes advantage of this beautiful screen-- excepting Amazon which is hit or miss with full screen. It seems to differ from video to video...
Anyone know a tweak or a hack to get some immersive support?
Thanks

I don't know how (and would love to know) but custom ROMS (lineage for example) does the full screen mode.

Viewing in fullscreen is possible with the aforementioned app. The pinch to zoom doesn't work due to the notch fill in not being enabled. To use fullscreen download the app, enable developer options, and once you've enabled developer options go to essential notch settings, set per application, and choose the app. Then click always use notch area. Pinch to zoom will now allow video to fill the screen, and the YouTube app will make use of the new formatting.
Hi all,
Does anyone know why it is that we can't make all apps go full screen? Too many just cut a black bar at the top where the camera is.
I've heard it's because of Android 10 and devs have to enable but I've used other Android 10 devices that allow you to force proper full screen on all apps. The inbuilt full screen apps setting only shows a couple of apps.
I'd also love to know if this is possible... It's driving me insane with the huge black bar cutoff.
Install the G- Visual magisk module

Just use Netflix and Amazon prime older apks for full-screen
I have older versions of these two which let u full screen (even the cutout area ) if u install this version u can then select full-screen mode for these apps which drove me crazy with the same problem on my 1+7. Hope it helps all OnePlus 8 n 8 pro users
Just google Netflix 6.13.0 apk and Amazon prime video 3-0-246-15341 apk at least untill OnePlus fixes this issue u can find some peace with ur new device. And yes welcome to OnePlus :laugh:

Thanks for the hint - sounds very promising. I tried installing it, but no "Notchkiller" menu entry in developer settings. Do you have that working on an OP8P ?

Choose this one...
It appears like this..
I use the "None display cutout" module in the Magisk download section. Works just like the notchkiller by enabling in developer settings.
But seriously. My S10+ was able to do that natively. What is Oneplus doing

I'm on the standard OP8 and that G-vision module works but it pushes the clock so far left most of it is blocked by the camera. Is that normal? Is there a fix for that too?
If that doesn't work then at least I was able to push the status bar icons further up making the spacing look more even. So there's that.
