Picture-in-Picture (PIP) doesn't work in Android app (with jitsi-meet-sdk) after screen sharing

[xpst]

Description:

It is not possible to switch to PIP mode after screen sharing - when screen sharing is stopped.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Connect to a room
2. Click Start screen sharing
3. Click Stop screen sharing
4. Try to switch to PIP mode

Expected behavior:

App is switched to PIP mode

Actual behavior:

No reaction on PIP button click.

It looks like PIP is disabled during screen sharing and it is not enabled after screen sharing is stopped.

Hi @xpst, thanks for pointing this to us. It is valid and will have a look at it.

I have the same problem with version 3.8.0

Got a trick 😊

I just commented out the line which disables Pip during screen share.

react/features/base/conference/middleware.native.js

line no : 56

// setPictureInPicture(true)

Same issue on iOS.

Same issue on iOS.

iOS doesn't really implement PiP, the app needs to upon receiving the corresponding event. Do you not get the event?

[saibotma]

The button to minimize Jitsi into “fake” PiP in iOS does not work either, after screen sharing. That's what I wanted to say.

Gotcha.
