Abstract
This disclosure generally relates to systems and methods that facilitate transitioning a current playback of a video in a video application to a video widget when the video application is moved to a background of a multitasking operating system in which the video application is executing. The transition occurs seamlessly at a point of the current playback in the video application when the video application is moved to the background. Furthermore, upon the video application being moved to the foreground of the multitasking operating system, current playback of the video in the video widget is seamlessly transitioned to the video application.
