Pages and media

Media and Picture in Picture

Control audio and video from any tab, and float a video in ArxPiP while you work.

This page is a first draft. It may change before the public beta.

Recording planned

Start a video, switch tabs: it floats into ArxPiP. Pinch to resize it, drag it to a corner, then click Return to Tab.

Media Controls

Open Window → Media Controls, or the Media section of the Library. It lists what's playing in your tabs. For each one you can:

  • Play or pause.
  • Open ArxPiP, or Return Video to Page.
  • Return to Tab.
  • Turn on Open PiP automatically when this video becomes hidden for that site.

Private windows aren't listed.

ArxPiP

ArxPiP is Arx's floating video window. It shows one video at a time.

  • Drag it with two fingers to move it, and pinch to resize it.
  • Video calls that use the browser's own Picture in Picture, such as Google Meet, open there too.
