Hello! I adopted Picture-in-Picture support for my video calls inside my app. However, when a user goes into background, his video stream freezes. From iOS 16 we can user a new [property](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/avfoundation/avcapturesession/4013227-ismultitaskingcameraaccessenable) to enable camera support while configuring video session. As far as I know ZoomSDK is responsible for configuring video sessions. So I updated my VideoSDK up to the latest version. But still my local video freezes. How can I enable local video during PiP mode? Looking forward to your reply! **Which iOS Video SDK version?** 1.11.2 **To Reproduce(If applicable)** Steps to reproduce the behavior: 1. Subscribe to a local user video 2. Go into PiP mode **Smartphone (please complete the following information):** - OS: iOS 16 ---

@chunsiong.zoom can you help answer (or find someone to answer) this question? So many PiP and multitasking camera questions go completely unanswered here. ---

Here is a blog post for you to try out - [Adding Picture-in-Picture to Zoom Video SDK iOS apps](https://developers.zoom.us/blog/video-sdk-ios-picture-in-picture/) The tutorial will need to be updated after the next release, but should resolve the freezing issues. ---
