Work is changing at lightning speeds, especially within the past year. What used to be a delicate relationship between our homes and our offices is now intermingled, where some of us split our time between the two and others work strictly remotely.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In today\u2019s workplace, we take our meetings with us wherever we go\u2014from our homes to our offices and even on the road. And as remote work (and the <\/span>work-from-anywhere<\/span><\/a> movement) continues to grow, our communications tools must support an increasingly mobile world.<\/span><\/p>\n

That\u2019s why we strive to find new ways to keep you connected and productive wherever you work from. To do this, we added a new feature to your RingCentral app for smartphones: <\/span>Picture-in-picture mode<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Picture-in-picture: Get more done on your mobile meetings<\/b><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Picture-in-picture mode is a new feature for RingCentral iOS and Android that allows you to minimize your meeting window in the app, giving you full access to your messages while still keeping an eye on the meeting.<\/span><\/p>\n

With a minimized meeting window, you can read and respond to messages, search for information, and use RingCentral as you normally would. If no one\u2019s sharing their screen, you can even collapse the window to get a bigger view of your messages. Also, the mute\/unmute button allows you to instantly rejoin the conversation if it\u2019s your turn to speak.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why this is useful<\/b><\/h2>\n

1. Respond to messages<\/b><\/h3>\n

Meetings won\u2019t stop messages from coming in, you sometimes can\u2019t ignore that urgent message from your boss or teammate.<\/span><\/p>\n

Picture-in-picture mode lets you respond to messages that require your attention without having to take your eyes off of the meeting.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Find the right context<\/b><\/p>\n

Say you\u2019re in a meeting and the speaker references a specific resource they shared in a group. With picture-in-picture, you can instantly search for relevant files or messages and jump back into the conversation.<\/span><\/p>\n
