PIP mode - desktop

Help Studio

Hi,
When I select Desktop mode when I try to run in PIP, it is taking the entire desktop.
I just have the PIP take over. Is this how it should work? I thought I can continue to do my work on desktop while PIP runs in background.

Thank you,

Hi @A_Learner

Go to project panel → Click on settings → Enable the PIP mode by enabling the toggle option.

Hope it helps!!

Hi @A_Learner ,

Running a process in Picture-in-Picture (PiP) mode in UiPath allows you to execute an automation in an isolated session without interfering with your main desktop session. Here are the steps to ensure that PiP runs in the background while you continue to use your desktop:

  1. Ensure PiP is Enabled:
  • First, ensure that PiP is enabled in your UiPath settings.
  • Go to Home > Settings > Picture in Picture and enable it.
  1. Running Process in PiP:
  • When you run a process, select the option to run in PiP.
  • The process should start in a separate PiP window, and you should be able to continue working on your main desktop.
  1. Use Background Processes:
  • Make sure the activities used in your automation are compatible with background execution. Activities that require UI interaction might take control of the PiP window, but your main desktop should remain usable.
  1. Configure Robot Settings:
  • If PiP is taking over your entire desktop, ensure your robot settings are configured correctly.
  • Check the robot settings to ensure that the PiP mode is not configured to take over the entire desktop.

Here is how to run a process in PiP mode:

  1. Select Process to Run:
  • Choose the process you want to run from the UiPath Assistant.
  1. Run in PiP:
  • Click on the “…” (three dots) next to the Run button and select “Run in PiP”.
  1. Switch to Background:
  • The process will start in a small window (PiP mode). You can minimize this window if it’s not already minimized, and continue working on your main desktop.

Sandy

Check the robot settings to ensure that the PiP mode is not configured to take over the entire desktop.

Please advise on robot settings how to do that?

Thank you,
