Overlay

The overlay shrinks ORQWA to just your HUD, small and on top of other windows, so you can watch a video or stream while you ride. The ride carries on and is saved as usual.

The overlay: the HUD and the workout's targets on a see-through window

To… Do this
Open it Overlay button or O during a ride, or Start as overlay on the Workouts tab
Go back Full view, or O / Esc
Pause Pause, or P / space
Move it Drag the top bar
Resize it A+ / A−, + / −, or drag the bottom-right corner

It reopens where and as large as you left it, for each rider. Clicks beside the HUD go to the window below.

Limits: it stays on top of normal windows, but not of full-screen apps — use a maximised browser window rather than full-screen video. The 3D world is paused while the overlay shows. On Wayland (Linux), staying on top depends on the compositor.

On Android

On an Android tablet the overlay is picture-in-picture: ORQWA becomes a small window of your figures on top of other apps, as a video app does. Android looks after that window:

To… Do this
Open it Overlay button during a ride
Go back Tap the window, then Android's full-screen button
Move it Drag it
Resize it Pinch it, or drag its edge

There is no top bar: Android keeps taps on the window for its own buttons. Pause from the full view.
