Windows 10 is getting one of the best features from
Android and iOS: picture-in-picture support. Microsoft is introducing
the new feature as part of the Creators Update, which is expected to be
made available to existing PCs in April. Microsoft is calling its
picture-in-picture feature “Compact Overlay,” and it will be available
for all app developers creating Universal Windows apps. Built-in apps
like Movies & TV or Skype will support picture-in-picture, allowing
you to watch a TV show or watch a Skype video call in a window while
navigating away to another app.
Microsoft is testing the feature as part of the latest Windows 10 build 15031, available for fast ring insiders today. Dynamic Lock
is also included in this build, allowing you to pair a Bluetooth phone
to have Windows automatically lock your PC when the phone isn’t found
nearby your PC. It’s a nice feature, but it’s disappointing not to see
Microsoft make use of the Windows Hello camera on desktop PCs to
automatically detect whether someone is nearby their PC.
Microsoft also revealed today that Windows 10 Creators
Update is feature complete. That means all of the features are set for
its April release, and Microsoft will now start to finish them off and
remove any bugs in the update before it’s shipped in April.
