Overview
If you’re watching Fubo on a mobile device (phone or tablet) and want to use other apps but stay tuned in to what you’re watching, use Picture-In-Picture (PiP) to make sure you don’t miss a moment while you’re completing other tasks.
Check out this guide for how to use PiP.
The experiences shown in this article are from an account in the United States. Available channels and programming may vary.

- Depending on your device, do this by swiping up from the bottom of the screen while holding your finger down, or by pressing the home button on your device
- Your video will shrink to a PiP window on your device home screen
- Touch and drag the PiP window to move it and access other apps as needed
How to Exit PiP
- To exit PiP, tap anywhere on the mini-player video to access your player controls:

Exit Video
- Tap the X to close your video
