Picture-in-picture (or PiP) is available for iPad users since iOS 9 and Apple has enabled it on iPhone this year with iOS 14. However, YouTube has never supported this feature, which allows users to watch videos while using other apps. This might change now as YouTube has started testing the native picture-in-picture feature in its iOS app. According to some reports on Twitter, picture-in-picture is slowly being rolled out to some users with the latest version of the YouTube app for iOS.

Insynapse Entertainment, in conjunction with Vacaville Firefighters Association Local 3501, will hold a dance fundraiser Friday night for those impacted by the LNU Lightning Complex Fires. However, with the shelter-at-home order still in effect, the party will be hosted online so participants will be able to jam to current and classic grooves without even leaving their homes. Dancers are encouraged to put on their dancing shoes, grab some cocktails and turn their homes into a dance club for one night. DJs Ed Combong and Chriztian will be spinning two hours of dance favorites from the ’70s to today. Combong said the playlist would be an eclectic mix of hip-hop, country, Latin pop, Top 40 hits and a whole lot more. “It’s just upbeat, fun, uplifting stuff,” he said. Combong is a member of Young Professionals of Vacaville, a group of Millennials in the local business world who come together to empower the next generation of business leaders. The day after the fires, the group had talked about doing something to benefit the victims. “They were just mentioning the devastation that they had already learned (of) from the day before,” he said. “To hear of people that were affected, it really concerned me. I have two friends that I heard they lost their homes completely.” Since then, Combong has been volunteering in Solano County where he can. He talked with his social media team about doing a benefit concert. Combong has done fundraisers in the past. When a security guard at Rockin’ Jump Trampoline Park — where Insynapse are resident DJs — lost his wife in an accident, a smaller-scale benefit was held. “We donated our time,” Combong said. In addition to tunes, there will also be opportunities to donate to those in need. Vacaville Firefighters 3501 has set up a…

In July 2019, Alaphia Zoyab was on a video call with Facebook employees in India, discussing some 180 posts by users in the country that Avaaz, the watchdog group where she worked, said violated Facebook’s hate speech rules. But half way through the hour-long meeting, Shivnath Thukral, the most senior Facebook official on the call, got up and walked out of the room, Zoyab says, saying he had other important things to do. Among the posts was one by Shiladitya Dev, a lawmaker in the state of Assam for Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). He had shared a news report about a girl being allegedly drugged and raped by a Muslim man, and added his own comment: “This is how Bangladeshi Muslims target our in 2019.” But rather than removing it, Facebook allowed the post to remain online for more than a year after the meeting, until TIME contacted Facebook to ask about it on Aug. 21. “We looked into this when Avaaz first flagged it to us, and our records show that we assessed it as a hate speech violation,” Facebook said in a statement to TIME. “We failed to remove upon initial review, which was a mistake on our part.” Thukral was Facebook’s public policy director for India and South Asia at the time. Part of his job was lobbying the Indian government, but he was also involved in discussions about how to act when posts by politicians were flagged as hate speech by moderators, former employees tell TIME. Facebook acknowledges that Thukral left the meeting, but says he never intended to stay for its entirety, and joined only to introduce Zoyab, whom he knew from a past job, to his team. “Shivnath did not leave because the issues were not…

When K-pop stans aren’t using their powers of massive online coordination to troll the Trump campaign or flood police hashtags in support of Black Lives Matter, they devote that energy to, well, stanning their favorite K-pop acts. BTS ‘fandom, known as Armys, sent their beloved seven-piece straight to the top of YouTube trending on Friday when the Korean idol group dropped the video for “Dynamite,” their first ever single sung entirely in English. The rainbow-pastel daydream visuals racked up an official count of over 101 million views in the first 24 hours the video was live, YouTube confirmed to Variety on Sunday. The video smashed the previous 24-hour record holder, BLACKPINK’s “How You Like That.” The K-pop girl group set that milestone all the way back in * checks notes * June 2020, with 86.3 million views in 24 hours – but “Dynamite” had beaten that by 9 p.m. ET. We have 4 hours left and 15.3 MILLION views to achieve our goal of 100 million views on YouTube in the first day. WE CAN DO IT ARMY 💜💪 – The genre is BTS ✰ ⁷ (@BTSBAGS) August 22, 2020 “How You Like That” also set a new record upon its release for the shortest time to 100 million views, at 32 hours – meaning “Dynamite” and its 24 hours of power set a new new record. YouTube made the 24-hour stats harder for record companies to game by excising paid promotional views from the count in September last year. (The existing record holder was also a BTS song, Halsey collaboration “Boy With Luv.”) But artists with massive online followings, from K-pop acts to Taylor Swift, don’t necessarily need labels juicing the numbers when the fans’ streaming game is this focused. Of the top 10 most-viewed-in-24-hours videos on YouTube, five…
