The concept of second screen AVKit playback is closely related to the "Explore multiview video playback in visionOS" session from WWDC 2024. In this session, AVKit introduces a feature called Multiview, which allows for simultaneous viewing of multiple video screens. This feature is particularly useful for scenarios where you might want to watch different camera angles or multiple streams at once, such as watching several sports games or different perspectives of the same event.
Multiview is integrated into the AVPlayerViewController, providing a familiar user interface and system features. It includes a Multiview button that reveals a content browser, allowing users to select additional content to view side by side with the main video. The original video remains the primary focus, with a slightly more prominent look and audio playback.
For more details, you can refer to the session Explore multiview video playback in visionOS (00:01:55).
