If you are having trouble getting Picture in Picture mode to work on your HBO Max app, this article is for you.

We’ll go through a bunch of things to do when Picture in Picture or PIP mode does not work on HBO Max on your device like the iPhone.

What Is Picture In Picture Mode On HBO Max?

Picture in Picture mode or PiP is a feature that lets you do other things while watching content on the HBO Max app.

The PiP mode is only available on the HBO Max app for iPhones and iPads.

With this feature, you can watch your favorite content on the platform while messaging your friends or reading emails simultaneously.

You will love the PiP feature on HBO Max if you are into multitasking to save time.

Sadly Picture in Picture mode is only available for iPhone and iPad users. But don’t worry, if you watch HBO Max on your PC, I got a workaround for watching content on PiP. Refer to the last section to find out how.

Fix HBO Max Picture In Picture Mode Not Working

There are several ways to fix the problem. Let’s go through them one by one to fix the PIP not working issue on the HBO Max app.

You can try the same troubleshooting steps if Netflix Picture in Picture not working or Disney PiP mode is not working as well.

Access PiP Mode The Right Way

Most people try to access Picture in Picture mode the wrong way. Only if you do it the right way you’ll be able to access PIP mode on HBO Max.

Opening the HBO Max, playing your content, and simply minimizing the app won’t enable PIP mode.

Here’s the right way of using picture in picture mode in HBO Max:

1. Open the HBO Max app on your iPhone or iPad
2. Search and find the show or content that you want to watch
3. Tap on it to start the video playback
4. Enter fullscreen
5. Swipe up from the bottom edge of the screen to enter PIP mode. As soon as you swipe, a small floating video player will appear.
6. Open any app of your choice that you want to use while watching content on HBO Max.
7. Finally, tap on the play button to continue watching content

This is the correct way to use PIP or Picture in Picture mode on HBO Max. Many people simply minimize the app why which the PIP mode does not work.

Also, remember that you need to start the video playback before swiping up. Only then will the PIP mode work on HBO Max.

Ensure You Have The Right Plan

Even after following the steps above, if Picture in Picture mode is not working for you, you need to double-check your plan.

For starters, the Picture in Picture mode is not available on all plans of HBO Max. Only a specific plan has the option. So you must ensure that you have one of the plans with PIP mode.

Picture in Picture mode is only available on the HBO Max Ad-Free plan.

There are two HBO Max plans. The first one is with-ads plan, and the other one is ad-free plan.

If you have the with-ad plan, the Picture in Picture option won’t work for you.

If you are unsure which plan you have, let me guide you on how to see your current HBO Max plan and upgrade if necessary.

• Open the HBO Max app on your smartphone or visit hbomax.com on your computer and log in to your account.
• On Smartphone: Tap on your profile icon from the top right corner and click on Settings. Scroll down and tap on Subscription. Here you will find the details of the plan you are currently subscribed to.
• On PC/Laptop: Login to your HBO Max account and go to hbomax.com/account. Under the subscription and billing section, it will show the plan info.
• On TV: Navigate to Settings and then Subscription. Find the plan name.

Under the Subscription section, you’ll find the plan name – Ad-Free or With Ads.

Only if you have the Ad-Free plan you’ll be able to access the PIP mode.

If you are on With Ads plan, then you’ll need to upgrade to the Ad-Free plan.

Below are the pricing details of the Ad-Free plan on HBO Max:

• Ad-Free Plan on HBO Max: $14.99/month or $149.99/year

See If Your Device Support PIP Mode

Not every device supports HBO Max Picture in Picture mode.

Your device must meet minimum requirements for the PiP mode to work.

Your iPhone should be running iOS 9.0 or above

Your iPad should be running iPadOS 14 or above.

If your device is not updated to the versions above, follow the steps to update iOS.

• Open Settings
• Go to General > Software Update
• Wait for a few seconds to see available updates
• Tap the Update button and wait for it to complete.

If your device is too old and newer updates are not applicable, then there’s no way for you to get HBO Max Picture in Picture mode working on your device.

Force Close And Open HBO Max App

Some glitches on the HBO Max app might make the PIP mode not work. The simple solution is to force-stop the app and reopen it.

And when I say this, don’t get me wrong. The thing is that most people do not close the HBO Max app before reopening it again.

Swiping up while on the app minimizes it. The app is still running in the background, meaning HBO Max is not fully closed.

If you did it the right way, skip this step.

So here is how to close the HBO Max app properly.

• While on the HBO Max app, swipe up from the bottom, hold at the center and then leave.
• Now you will see the HBO Max app window floating on the screen. Just swipe up to fully close the app.

Once closed, try to open it again by tapping the HBO Max icon, which should work this time.

Force closing HBO Max can help you fix other issues like the audio description not turning off or HBO Max being blurry.

Update HBO Max App To The Latest Version

If you are using a very old version of the HBO Max app on your device, then the Picture in Picture mode won’t work. You must ensure the HBO Max app is running the latest version.

A lot of new features and bug fixes will be missing in older versions of the HBO Max app, so it’s vital that you need to update the HBO Max app on your device.

• Open the App Store on your iPhone or iPad.
• Tap your profile icon from the top right corner of the screen
• Scroll down to find all the apps awaiting an update. Go through the list of apps and see if HBO Mac is present.
• Tap the Update button next to the HBO Max app name to update it immediately.

Once updated, open the HBO Max app and access PiP mode.

Restart Your Device

It might sound silly initially, but restarting your device can help you fix minor issues like this one where the Picture in Picture mode won’t work on the HBO Max app.

Whenever my device fails to work as expected, one of many steps that I initially do is restart the device.

Hold the power button on your device and restart it.

Once turned on, try opening HBO Max, play any content, and swipe from the bottom to see if Picture in Picture mode is working.

Update OS

Your device must be running the latest operating system version for the PiP mode to work. If your iPhone’s iOS version is below 9.0 or your iPad’s iPadOS version is below 14.0, then PiP mode won’t work.

So you need to update your device before you try to reaccess PiP mode.

• Open Settings
• Go to General > Software Update
• Wait for a few seconds to see available updates
• Tap the Update button and wait for it to complete.

Reinstall HBO Max

Yet another thing to do in an event where the Picture in Picture mode does not work on HBO Max is to uninstall and reinstall the app.

Find the HBO Max app icon from the app drawer to uninstall the HBO Max app.

Tap and hold the icon. Tap on the Remove App option.

On the pop-up that appears, tap on Delete App. Select Delete again, and you have successfully uninstalled HBO Max.

Now open App Store

Search for HBO Max and tap on the Get button to install your device. Authorize the installation.

Once installed, log in to your HBO Max account and try accessing the PiP mode.

Contact HBO Max Support

If none of the troubleshooting steps help you fix the Picture in Picture mode issue on HBO Max, then it’s finally time to connect with an HBO Max support specialist.

We are paying for a feature promised by HBO Max, and if that doesn’t work, it is their duty to sort the issue.

Enable HBO Max Picture in Picture on PC

As mentioned earlier, Picture in Picture mode is only available for iPhones and iPad. But that doesn’t mean you can’t access HBO Max PiP on your computer.

I got a little workaround for you to let you watch HBO Max content in Picture in Picture mode.

So let’s see how

Open Google Web Store, search for HBO Picture in Picture, or click here.

Click the Add to Chrome button to add the extension to your web browser.

Once added, open HBO Max and select a show you want to watch in PiP mode.

Start the video playback, and you’ll notice a new icon in the bottom right corner of the video player.

This is the easiest way to enable PIP mode in HBO Max for the time being. We can expect HBO Max to bring the PiP mode to the web version in the future.

Conclusion

It can be frustrating when the Picture in Picture mode on HBO Max does not work for you. You are paying for features like PiP offered by HBO Max’s top-tier plan so you can do multitasking.

Accessing PiP mode the right way, updating the app and iOS/iPadOS, checking the plan, and restarting the device are common things to do when Picture in Picture mode does not work on HBO Max.

Many people face this issue, and here are some of the most commonly encountered causes for the occurrence of this error in Omegle. Even if you don’t know the reason, don’t worry. I will help you find it below.

Fix Error Connecting to Server in Omegle

Depending on the underlying reason, there are different methods for fixing the issue. You may go through all the fixes mentioned below and execute them to quickly fix the server connection problem in Omegle.

Method 1: See if Omegle Server is Down

The very first thing that we need to make sure of is that there is no problem with Omegle servers. If Omegle servers are down, then there is nothing much we can do about it. You will have to wait till the server is back online.

Here’s a quick method to see if Omegle servers are down.

• First of all, go to Downdetector’s page of Omegle.
• As soon as you land on the webpage, it will tell you whether the Omegle server is down or not. See the graph and look for sudden spikes. If everything is normal and no server outages are reported, then there is no problem with the Omegle server.

• If you find many people have reported that Omegle servers are not online or working, then the problem might be with the Omegle server.

If the issue is with the Omegle server, wait until the team fixes the problem and brings the server back online.

Or, if there is no issue with Omegle servers, then follow the steps given below.

Method 2: Clear Browser Cache and Cookies

This is one of the basic troubleshooting that you need to do before moving to any other method. Sometimes cookies or cache files can cause issues like this. So, it is recommended that you clear Omegle cookies and caches before moving further.

Here’s how to clear Omefle cache and cookies:

• Visit Omegle.com and click on the padlock icon from the address bar.
• From the menu that appears, click on Cookies.

• Here, you will find all the cookies in use by Omegle. Just click on the omegle.com cookie and click on the remove button. (Also, make sure that Omegle cookies are not blocked)

To clear Omegle cache, just open your browser history and click on the clear history option.

Click on the Clear data button and wait for a few seconds. It will clear the cache files, and now try to access Omegle and see it solves the issue.

Methods 3: Use a VPN

You might have heard about VPN and proxy websites a lot. A VPN is basically an app/extension that lets you access any blocked or geo-restricted websites and content in your region. For example, if a YouTube video is not available in your region, you can easily bypass it with the help of a VPN. Similarly, you even access any blocked websites as well.

If you are on Android, you can refer to this list of the best VPN apps for Android.

Below given are some popular VPN services to use to reaccess Omegle on your device.

Surfshark

Surfshark is one of the best VPN in the market that you can use to unblock Omegle to access it. I am using Surfshark as my default VPN, and it works great without any issue. Not just Omegle, it will help you unblock a lot of other websites as well.

Get Surfshark

Method 4: Flush DNS to access Omegle

Flushing the DNS and resetting it might help you fix server connection issues in Omegle. Depending on the operating system you’re using, the method to flash the lens might differ a little bit. You need to run a few lines of commands in CMD or terminal to flush DNS.

If you are on Windows, open CMD or Command Prompt as admin and execute the below-given commands.

ipconfig /flushdns

ipconfig /registerdns

ipconfig /release

ipconfig /renew

netsh winsock reset

If you are on other operating systems like macOS or Linux then follow the guide on flushing DNS.

Method 5: Access Omegle with another device

To see this is a device-specific issue, we can try accessing Omegle with another device connected to the same or different network. For this, all you have to do is grab any other device like a smartphone, tablet, laptop, or even a smart TV (use a web browser if you are using Android TV). Open the web browser and go to omegle.com and see if it connects or not.

If the connection is established successfully, then that means something is wrong with your device. Sometimes, the firewall or antivirus might be blocking the site on your computer. If that is the case, open the firewall and add an exception for omegle.com.

If you cannot access omegle.com even on another device, then the issue has to be with your ISP or internet network.

Method 6: Use a different internet connection

Since it failed to open omegle.com on two devices connected to the same network, now let’s try connecting with a different internet source. As mentioned earlier, the ISP might have blocked the site in your region. To see if this is the case, all you have to do is just connect your computer/smartphone to a different network source.

For example, if your device is connected to Wi-Fi, try connecting to mobile data or a different wifi network. This way, you will be able to tell if it is an issue with ISP or not. You can even use both wifi and mobile data simultaneously as well.

If connecting through a different internet connection solves the issue, then the problem is with your ISP. This means they might have blocked Omegle in their entire network or in your region.

But don’t worry, there is a trick by which you can bypass this restriction and access Omegle.

Method 7: Restart modem/router

Sometimes restarting your modem or router might help you in fixing the issue. All you have to do is just turn off the modem or router for a minute or so and then turn it on again. If your ISP provides you with a dynamic IP address or Internet protocol, then a new one will be assigned to your modem/router after the restart. After the modem or router is turned on, try visiting Omegle again and see if you are able to access the website.

Method 8: Use an Omegle alternative

If you have tried all the methods mentioned above and still cannot access Omegle, then it is time to try out some Omegle alternatives. There is plenty of sites similar to Omegle, which you can use to video call or chat with random strangers on the Internet.

We have written a dedicated article on Omegle alternatives. So go check them out and find an excellent Omegle alternative to use right now.

What is Omegle?

Omegle is a website that you can use to talk with random strangers on the Internet. Omegle provides both video calling and text chat options. If you’re feeling lonely or bored at home, then you may try using Omegle for a few minutes to talk to random people. Similar to Omegle, tons of apps will let you connect with random strangers on the Internet as well.

Even after restarting the router, if the error still persists then next we need to reset our router.

Reset Router

Discord uses the IP address to find the system or device that you are using. In most cases, resetting the router will change the IP address as well. Most of the ISPs (Internet Service Provider) do not provide their users static IP. For the same reason, the IP address keeps changing.

Resetting the router might help us to fix the rate limited error on Discord.

For this all, you have to do is just long-press on the power button of your router. Holding it for some seconds will reset the router. Once reset, turn it on again and connect to it. Now open Discord try entering the channel by doing verification again. This time it should work.

Try a different Internet Connection

In most cases, changing the internet connection should solve the issue. The rate-limited Discord error is based on the users’ IP addresses. So, when you change your Internet source, the IP address changes too.

If you have multiple Internet connections in your home, then you may connect to them.

Otherwise, if you have mobile data in your smartphone then create a portable hotspot and connect to it. Now try to access Discord and complete the verification again. Once the verification process is done, you may disconnect from the secondary source and connect to the original Internet source.

Here’s how to enable hotspot on Android smartphone:

• Open Settings
• Tap on Connection and Sharing

• Tap on Portable Hotspot

• From here, configure things like the network SSID, password and turn on hotspot on the device

Now, connect to the hotspot from the device in which you use Discord.

This should work as Discord uniquely identifies your computer using the IP address.

Use a VPN

Since it is a network-related problem, VPNs can help you fix the issue temporarily. If your IP is not blacklisted by Discord then you use VPN to temporarily bypass the rate-limited error. Using a VPN and connecting to a different country’s server is all you need to do.

After connecting to a VPN server, try accessing Discord and see if the problem has solved

Use a Different Version of Discord

If you are using the original version of Discord then you may try using the Canary build or BetterDiscord. Using any of these might help you fix the problem.

Discord Canary and Discord PTB are beta versions of Discord that are not available to the general public yet. It might contain a lot of developmental features, new features, bugs, etc. You may try downloading and installing the same on your computer.
