Add Floating Window Feature in Your Flutter Calling App
Tencent RTC provides Tencent RTC Call (TUICallKit) for developers with the Floating Window feature, which allows you to perform concurrent multithreading, improve efficiency, and add convenience and flexibility. It also enhances your gaming experience by enabling you to have conversations with other players without leaving the game interface. Let's dive into how this feature can revolutionize your audio and video call experience.

Why We Need Floating Window Feature
Imagine being in the middle of an online conference or an intense gaming session, and suddenly, an incoming call forces you to switch screens. It's a common frustration that many of us face daily. But what if there was a solution? Implement the Floating Window feature!
This innovative feature is designed to solve the problem of screen-switching during voice or video calls. Whether you're participating in an online conference, viewing shared slides, browsing social media, or even playing games, the Floating Window feature allows you to handle incoming calls without interrupting your current activity — no more switching between apps to check messages during a call.
