'''Picture-in-picture''' ('''PiP''') is a feature that can be found in [[television]] receivers, [[personal computer]]s, and [[smartphone]]s. It consists of a video stream playing within an inset window, freeing the rest of the screen for other tasks.

For televisions, picture-in-picture requires two independent [[Tuner (radio)|tuner]]s or signal sources to supply the large and the small picture. Two-tuner PiP TVs have a second tuner built in, but a single-tuner PiP TV requires an external signal source, which may be an external tuner, [[videocassette recorder]], [[DVD player]], or [[cable converter box|cable box]]. Picture-in-picture is often used to watch one program while waiting for another to start or [[advertisement]]s to finish.
