Using of Pop Up Play in Android 4.4 Samsung Galaxy S4

 

Video player app is a media-related app that is available in the Samsung Galaxy SIV. You can use this app for watching all saved videos in your phone, either those you took with the phone camera or those you got/downloaded from other sources.


While you're watching a video in the video player app, you'll be given with some useful options, one of which is the picture in picture (pip) view icon that you can use to reduce the screen size and display the player in the small window so that you can use your phone for other purposes without closing the video.



How to use pop-up play?
Below are the steps to do so:

1. Open the Video Player app.
2. Tap the required video to play it.
3. Tap the PIP (Picture in picture) view icon to view the video in a small window. If you can't see this icon, tap the screen to view the playback controls. The player will remain on top while you're using the phone for other purposes.
4. While the video player is displayed in the small window, you can do the following actions:
• Move: you can move the video window to any part of the screen by dragging it to another location.
• Zoom in or zoom out: spread two fingers apart on the video window to enlarge it or pinch the video window to reduce it.
• Pause and resume: single tap the video window to pause or resume the playback.
• Multitask: you can watch the video while using your phone for other purposes(e.g: browsing the webpages, sending text messages, etc). You can use and navigate your phone normally and the player will remain on top.
• Exit from PIP view: double tap the video window to return to the video player app.
• Close: when the playback is paused, you can close the player by tapping the close button
  at the top right corner of the video window. If you didn't activate the auto next video option, the video window will be closed automatically once the playback is over.

By default, if you play a video in the normal view, the video will be stopped if you use your phone for other activities. But, by using the popup video player or the pip view now you can do other activities(multitask) while you're watching the video.

Fixing of  Can't Find Capture Icon in the Video Player App in Galaxy S4

 

While you're playing a video in the video player app, you'll be presented with some options that you can use to control the playback, such as rewind or forward the playback, adjust the volume, etc. Even you'll be given with a take-a-screenshot button or capture icon to make you easier to take a screenshot while playing a video.

A few days ago, an insider told me that she can't find the capture icon while she was playing a video in the video player app. As a note, the option to display the capture icon is enabled by default therefore if you can't find the capture icon make sure that the capture option in the settings menu while playing a video is not disabled.


 

Fixing of  can't find the capture icon while playing a video in the video player app
To get this option, make sure the capture option is enabled. You can enable this option by using the following steps:

1. Open the Video Player app.
2. Tap the required video to play it.
3. Tap the Menu key and then select Settings.
4. Mark the checkbox next to Capture to enable this option.
5. Tap Close button.
6. Now you should see the capture icon is displayed at the top of the screen while playing a video.

Basically, you can take a screenshot of the playback by using the palm motion or using combination of the Power button and the Home button, but using the capture button to take a screenshot while playing a video is much easier to do. Other advantage when you use the capture icon is this option will give you a full screen screenshot no matter how you hold (horizontally or vertically) the phone while playing a video.
