If there is an app that got highly popular fast, then it has to be TikTok. This video sharing platform has been the top most app for setting out trends that has reached all across the world. Especially, during the COVID-19 pandemic, when everyone was looking for different forms of entertainment in quarantine, TikTok kept us all busy, and somewhat distracted from the horrors that were going on in the world. It kept all of us united by taking part in different challenges and trends and in some way became our companion to go through with our stay at home phase. Launched in September of 2016, TikTok in China is actually known as Douyin, and is a video sharing social media platform owned by the Chinese company ByteDance. The app allows users to make short videos with a duration of 15 seconds to 1 minute. The content on the platform is related to different types of genre; from dance to education and of course comedy.

TikTok has introduced the PIP (picture in picture) feature for its users in live streaming! The picture in picture feature is a type of a multi window mode which lets the users who are viewing that content view a video or image on a small window pinned to that content on somewhere on the screen while also allowing them to use other apps and content on the main screen.
