PiP (Picture-in-Picture)

What is it?

Picture-in-picture is showing a smaller video window inside a bigger one — two things at once, with a clear hierarchy: the big picture is the subject, the small one is the companion.

Practical example

The most familiar version: a tutorial streamer shares their screen full-size while their webcam floats as a small rectangle in the corner — the audience follows the screen but never loses the human. Flip it for reaction content: the video being reacted to plays big, the creator's face small. News uses it too: anchor big, live correspondent feed small, then swap when the correspondent takes over.

Key things to know (non-technical)

• The size relationship is the storytelling: big = "look at this," small = "I'm still here with you."
• Swapping which window is big mid-show is a basic but powerful directing move.
• Corner choice matters — the small window must never cover the action in the big one (or platform UI like chat).
• It's really a special case of layout; most studio tools offer it as a preset.

In Tupic Live

PiP presets in Tupic Live — face-over-screen for tutorials, content-over-face for reactions, one-tap swap between them — cover two of the most common live formats with zero manual arranging.
