  • Control: Users can adjust the PiP window size and location, pause and play the video, and return to the original video tab for advanced controls like video speed and rewind.

Availability:

The PiP functionality is available to all HubSpot users across all hubs and tiers.

Key Quotes:

  • "Take multitasking to a whole new level with our new Picture-in-Picture (PiP) functionality."
  • "You can continue watching important instructions or inspiration in real time while you work, without having to switch tabs or lose focus on the task at hand."

Luna LogicLuna Logic

Alright. So this week, I wanted to dive into something that really caught my eye over on HubSpot.

Ben BinaryBen Binary

Okay.

Luna LogicLuna Logic

It's their, it's actually for HubSpot Academy.

Ben BinaryBen Binary

Right.

Luna LogicLuna Logic

And it's this new picture in picture feature they've rolled out.

Ben BinaryBen Binary

Interesting. Have

Luna LogicLuna Logic

you have you seen this at all?

Ben BinaryBen Binary

I have. Yeah. I'm I'm really intrigued by it, especially thinking about, like you know, when you're in the middle of a task. Right? Right. And you just need that that quick refresher on how to, like, do that one specific thing in HubSpot

Luna LogicLuna Logic

Oh, 100%. You know? All the time.

Ben BinaryBen Binary

Instead of completely derailing your whole workflow

Luna LogicLuna Logic

Mhmm.

Ben BinaryBen Binary

You know, having to stop and open a new tab and try to find that HubSpot Academy video.

Luna LogicLuna Logic

Exactly.

Ben BinaryBen Binary

Yeah.

Luna LogicLuna Logic

So this is I mean, it's picture in picture, so it's exactly what it's gonna be like. Right? You can have the HubSpot Academy videos playing right alongside whatever else you're working on.

Ben BinaryBen Binary

Yeah. I mean, talk about, like, just elegant in its simplicity. You know what I mean?

Luna LogicLuna Logic

Right.

Ben BinaryBen Binary

It's it's something that it seems so obvious. Like, oh, I don't see should've thought of this a long time ago, but HubSpot's really addressing a pain point that I don't think a lot of us even realize we were experiencing. You know?

Luna LogicLuna Logic

Exactly. And I'm curious, for you I mean, reading through, like, the update on it and everything, what what to you is the, I don't know, the most interesting aspect of this?

Ben BinaryBen Binary

I think what's fascinating is how this will impact users on, like, a subconscious level almost. Okay. You know, because it's it's removing that barrier, that little bit of friction that keeps us from seeking out information when we need it most.

Luna LogicLuna Logic

Right.

Ben BinaryBen Binary

We might not even realize how much that context switching, like you were saying Yeah. That actually disrupts our flow.

Luna LogicLuna Logic

Absolutely.

Ben BinaryBen Binary

But by having those resources readily available right there in our peripheral vision, it just makes it that much easier to stay on track and really absorb the information.

Luna LogicLuna Logic

And it's available for everyone. That's what I think is so cool too. Like, it doesn't matter what hubs you're using or even your subscription level. Picture in picture is there for everyone, and I think that speaks volumes about HubSpot's commitment to, like, user experience Absolutely. Yeah. And just making sure that everyone has the tools they need to be successful. It's it's democratizing access to information in

Ben BinaryBen Binary

a way, wouldn't you say? 100%. Yeah.

Luna LogicLuna Logic

And then just to add to that, they've made the PP window resizable, movable. So you can customize it however it works best for your workflow.

Ben BinaryBen Binary

I think that's really smart. It's not a one size fits all solution.

Luna LogicLuna Logic

Right.

Ben BinaryBen Binary

They recognize that everyone works a little differently, and they've built that path of your

Luna LogicLuna Logic

screen if you really wanna focus on a video. Yeah. And, you know, I think what impresses me most is how this ties into that bigger picture of HubSpot's commitment to making its platform as intuitive and user friendly as possible.

Ben BinaryBen Binary

Oh, totally.

Luna LogicLuna Logic

It's it's like they're constantly looking for ways to streamline the user experience. You know?

Ben BinaryBen Binary

Yeah. And this this picture and picture update, it might seem small on the surface, but it really speaks to that larger trend of integrating learning seamlessly into our work lives. Don't you think?

Luna LogicLuna Logic

Oh, absolutely. And it makes you wonder what other clever integrations or features they might have up their sleeve. Like, what's next?

Ben BinaryBen Binary

I don't know. It's an exciting time. What if like, you know how AI is becoming more prevalent. Yeah. What if AI could actually anticipate what you needed to learn within HubSpot and, like, proactively serve you those micro lessons right when you need them. Oh. Like, imagine you're struggling with a specific automation and a campaign, and a little pop up appears with a picture in picture video perfectly tailored to that exact problem.

Luna LogicLuna Logic

Right. That'd be incredible.

Ben BinaryBen Binary

Mind blowing. Right.

Luna LogicLuna Logic

Yeah. It's like the future of, like, in app learning and support right there.

Ben BinaryBen Binary

He really is.

Luna LogicLuna Logic

It'd be amazing.

Ben BinaryBen Binary

Yeah. Wow. Exciting stuff.

Luna LogicLuna Logic

Well, this has been a fun one to kind of dig into even if it's a small update.

Luna LogicLuna Logic

But I think it has big implications.

Ben BinaryBen Binary

Big impact for sure.
