Running Android app in PiP mode

Is it possible to put Google TV Android app in PiP mode (not full screen)? I think this would be a nice feature.

Does PiP work for all apps?

Using PiP on Android, iOS, and iPadOS Android, iOS, and iPadOS support picture-in-picture, but not every app does. For the feature to work, you need to be running a video app that offers built-in PiP capabilities. Most video apps do, including Disney Plus, Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and Apple TV.

Why does picture-in-picture not work?

The picture-in-picture issue could be a result of a temporary glitch of the YouTube account. The glitch can be overcomed by switching to another YouTube account. Launch the YouTube application and tap on the user profile icon. Now relaunch the YouTube application and check if it is working fine.

Currently, the only app that is able to run in PiP mode on Google TV is the "Live TV" app. We've passed the feature request on to the Google TV product development team, and we'll definitely let the dev community know if/when it's part of a release!

EDIT

There's a feature request opened for this at:

If this is an important feature to you, add a star!
