Video streaming multi-taskers: listen up.
Some Android users now have access to picture-in-picture mode on YouTube, according to Android Police. Picture-in-picture is the ability to watch a video in a floating window while still browsing YouTube.
Up until this point, the feature has only been available to Android users who subscribe to Red, YouTube’s subscription service. But for Android 8.0 Oreo users, it looks like PiP might become more widespread.

After a flurry of backlash, YouTube has finally taken action against disgraced vlogger Logan Paul.
The company announced on Wednesday that it will remove Logan Paul’s YouTube channel from Google’s preferred ad program, which means less ad money in Paul’s pocket from his channel with over 15 million subscribers.
Additionally, YouTube seems to be cutting as many ties as possible with the vlogger, canning the YouTube Red movie The Thinning: New World Order, which was slated to star Paul. The film was a sequel to the 2016 YouTube Red Movie, The Thinning, according to Polygon.
