Overview
The pip package is a Flutter plugin that enables Picture in Picture (PiP) functionality on Android and iOS devices. It allows users to continue viewing video content in a small floating window while navigating other apps. The plugin integrates seamlessly with Flutter's media playback capabilities, providing a smooth user experience for video applications. It supports both landscape and portrait PiP modes and handles lifecycle events appropriately. Developers can easily implement PiP with minimal configuration. This package is ideal for streaming apps, video conferencing tools, or any app requiring continuous video playback.
