“An error occurred while we tried to start the process in Picture in Picture”

I am trying to use the experimental Picture-in-picture (PiP) feature. Everytime I try to use it, the Picture-in-Picture window opens up, but is blank and throws an error after a moment. I’ve tried starting PiP in debug mode, through UiPath Robot, and through UiPath Assistant.

Version Info:
Studio Pro 2020.8.0-beta.278
Community License
Windows 10 Home 64-bit
Orchestrator is connected

Error message:
An error occurred while we tried to start the process in Picture in Picture.

Hi @Sachdeva_Divyanshu

Please update to the latest 2021.10 version, it has many improvements and will most likely fix the issue for you.

Hi @loginerror

Should I update only the studio license where the attended bot is running or update studio as well as orchestrator license and upgrade it to 2021. Will there be any issue to our current processes if we update the version.?

Best,
Div

Are you using your Community Studio with an on-premise Enterprise installation of Orchestrator?

Normally, the Community edition should be used together with the cloud.uipath.com Orchestrator, which is always on the latest version.

As to the upgrade considerations, please have a look at the documentation:
