The Android 6.0 Muffin concept is unlike most of the operating system's traditional video platforms. This is thanks to its [multiple window capabilities](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/duckfloat) that make more than one stream possible for users. This sophisticated app is still in its creative concept stage but gives [Android users](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nex-computing-nexphone) a taste of the convenience and capabilities it would offer.

Illustrating a user's navigation through multiple windows, this [mobile video concept](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/android-emergency-live-video) doesn't only make multiple window viewing a reality but also lets users watch a video while messaging contacts and even features a quick reply setting that doesn't interrupt one's viewing session in the middle of a video stream.

While Android's traditional video platforms may include many more limitations, this app concept breaks barriers and is functional for users.
