Fitting video and Xcode onto screen

When we were using playground I could move the webpage and Xcode so they shared about half the screen each. This meant I didn't have to keep stopping and starting the video whenever Pasan gets us to do anything in Xcode like I am now. Does anyone have a method on how they can watch the video while also using Xcode with only one screen?

Hello Nick,

There are many great Window Management Apps for Mac out there! I recommend using an app like Magnet (that's what I'm using), Spectacle or Divvy just to name a few!

I hope that helps!

Yeah, second monitor. Failing that, iPad for video propped up next to your monitor. That works too. ;)

Sorry should have specified the lack of another monitor/device first :)

Right. Well what you can do is resize your zoom in your browser window (view menu and zoomin, or cmd-minus) so that the video is rendering a little smaller in your window then squeeze your xcode window in beside it.

It will be a little clumsy, but better than switching between the screens maybe?

Yeah I guess that will have to do for now, might have to dig up another monitor, cheers for the help.
