I'm new to android guys so please do bare with me
I have a note 3 and I remember watching the keynote liking in particular the multi window feature especially as the note 3 can have the same app open twice eg two browsers.

The issue is I cannot get two YouTube apps working although this is supported!! As soon as I drag the second window in the first one pauses and imitates whatever is on one but rather than playing the video it shows a black screen

I cannot get any joy despite all my google-ing any suggestions or can someone please try it with their note 3. I am not rooted and got a brand new replacement yesterday

Please check my screen shots

Thanks

Hmm that is bizarre, I have just tested mine to see and it works OK, have you tried clearing the app data from YouTube? - -- Settings > General > application manager > find YouTube and clear cache/data etc. Give it a shot.

Just gave that a go and no luck at all. I don't understand it's a brand new handset the one which I exchanged done the exact same thing

How do you know playing two videos simultaneously is supported? That's alot of CPU and network usage to be able to do both at once.

Of course this feature is. Firstly see my attached photos and secondly this was mentioned as a key feature in the Samsung presentation when the note 3 was announced
