Note
This feature isn't available to all users because it's still in development.
If you switch to a different app when viewing a fullscreen video, the video will appear in a small window on top of the other app. If you tap the window, you'll get back to viewing the video in Yandex Start. You can drag the video window anywhere on your smartphone screen.
To enable this feature:
-
Go to
(profile picture) → App settings. - Turn on these options:
- Show video on top of other apps: When you exit the fullscreen mode and switch to another app, the video continues in a separate window.
- Show video when leaving the tab: When you switch to another tab or another app, the video continues in a separate window.
