Picture in Picture for offline video #method 2


Hello..This is the second method for viewing local / offline videos stored in internal memory using Picture in Picture. Note This method works for any video file that google chrome has read access to.
Also make sure to enable Picture in Picture for Google Chrome Browser.
You must install ES File Explorer from Google Play Store to complete this tutorial.
I have also linked a video below. Check it out !

Picture in picture is a feature available in Android Oreo. I'm currently using the device Asus Zenfone 3 but this method should be common for any mobile.
The method involves copy and pasting the complete Video file along with its actual locations to Google Chrome.
So let's begin.
First of all open any app that helps you to take notes.
By default my phone comes with Note 'Do it later ' app.

So I am going to use this app for creating the video URL.
Open the Note App and type
file://

Go to ES File Explorer and locate the video that you would like to play

Long press on the video and Now go to option > properties
Then 'Copy the full Path'

Go to the note app and paste it after file://

So the complete URL looks like this
file:///sdcard/ {location} / video_filename
Copy the complete URL and
Paste and run it on Google Chrome..
Open Google Chrome..
and paste the URL

Play the video and press the full screen button then go to home. Picture in Picture window is now
Activated.

Enjoy.
