What is the Picture-in-Picture API?
The Picture-in-Picture API is a powerful feature that allows you to overlay one video on top of another, enabling developers to create engaging multimedia content effortlessly. This API supports various customization options, including position, scale, and audio source.
- Overlay one video on another effortlessly.

How to Use the Picture-in-Picture API
To use the Picture-in-Picture API, you'll send a POST request to the endpoint '/api/picture_in_picture'. This request requires the main video URL and the overlay video URL, along with optional parameters for position, scale, and audio source.
- Main video URL: The URL of your background video.
- Overlay video URL: The URL of the video you want to overlay.
- Position: Choose from options like top-left, top-right, bottom-left, bottom-right, or center.
