We all like to multitask because we feel it gets more done. Plus it makes the journey much more enjoyable.
If you're someone who likes to watch things and browse at the same time, then this tip might be for you.
On TikTok, Tech Hack Guy shares a simple hack on TikTok that can help you multitask much easier.

The tech expert demonstrates that by going onto YouTube, you can simply double-click on the video, and double-click again.
Users will then be granted a few options, one of which is 'Picture in Picture' which they can click.
Doing so makes the video shrinks to a smaller, floating video at the side of the screen which then hovers on top of your other browsing windows.

So, you can freely watch your YouTube content whilst going about your daily Internet stuff. You can also move this window to wherever is best for you on the screen.
Some are amazed at how well and effectively this hack works, and have been showing their gratitude, saying: 'Omg thanks for this ! I always be asking why I can’t do something else why watching YouTube! But now I can !'.
Another viewer replied: 'a genius in this' whilst another wrote: 'I'm so grateful'.
One TikTok user requested that the creator should make another video but for the iPhone.

Other seemingly know-it-all's aren't so thankful for the advice. One comment read: 'It’s a well known feature, hardly a phenomenon. Even having the YouTube enhancer extension would’ve been a better choice and that not a hack either'.
Picture in Picture (PiP) is a feature that shrinks a video to a thumbnail size at a corner of your computer screen. You can resize it and move it around, even if you're juggling multiple desktops.
The tech expert shows the simplicity of doing this hack on an Apple MacBook, however, the same thing is available on Windows PC too.

If you want to perform the same action on Windows, all you need to do is go onto the YouTube video you want to watch, then right-click twice, (or double-right click) and this takes you to similar options see on the Apple device. Then, you can select 'Picture in Picture'.
What's more, if you're savvy with multitasking and able to do so whilst watching movies and TV shows, you can do this same trick on streaming platforms like Netflix and Hulu.
