Microsoft’s Groove is one of the few apps from Microsoft that has more features when compared to their iOS or Android counterparts. The size of the compact overlay windows can also be changed. The new mini-music player will show the album art along with three music playback options. This will allow users to do multitask and change the music without having to go to app or taskbar. And Today Microsoft has updated the Groove Music app of Windows 10 with the support of compact overlay that enables the app’s mini mode for music playback to be visible above any other window. The compact Overlay is an app window like picture-in-picture that is shown above other windows so that it not blocked. Microsoft has said that they would be bringing this in other apps as well and developers can also use it in their apps.
Icrosoft had introduced the Compact Overlay Windows feature for their Movies and TV app in the Windows 10 Creators Update build.
