Fire TV Picture in Picture on Home Screen

I tried PIP, but never found it to be very useful even if it worked better. The way it is now, you need extra steps to completely exit Channels to close the PIP window. Not sure I would ever use it even if it worked better.

Could we have an update from the development team on this please? It would be useful to know if it’s on the roadmap, or if not if we need to submit a feature we could request for the near future.

I'd be shocked if anyone from dev team chimes in on this and if they do I doubt it will be anything positive in regards to getting this in. I guess they are satisfied with their hacky implementation.

This is among my family's biggest gripes with Channels. We're stuck with it, but there has to be a way to at least reduce how often it happens.

Excellent. I will try this soon.

One question though, I've switched one of my boxes to an Onn box. This is a Google TV device. Is PiP available for Google TV? I did not see the option to use it in the settings but maybe I overlooked.

We use the official APIs offered by google for PiP

For some reason they have not enabled these on Google TV.
