PIP Picture in Picture Error Troubleshooting

Posted on 3 May 2024 21:20:25 by 2

I am trying out a trial subscription for premium and am testing out picture in picture functionality. It seems to work in that it pulls up a separate window in the background. However, when trying to run a desktop flow, the flow doesn't seem to start and give the attached error message saying, "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item." Since I am working on my corporate computer, am thinking that my IT department may need to update my settings. 

 

Has anyone else ran into this issue and know what to do? If I can get picture in picture (PIP)to work, that would be a game changer!

    I was able to connect with my IT department and they sorted out the permissions and did get it to work. Now that my premium trial license is expired I no longer have the ability to use the PiP functionality.

    Hey  @mhanson Previously I have also tried to use PIP mode in my corporate laptop, but it needs some permission for that it needs permission from the IT team.
