split screen and multitasking

All of the documentation I've read is for full screen apps. Is it possible to do a simple overlay over another app. i.e. Show a stock ticker at the bottom of let's say netflix or overlay a small timer so I don't burn the pizza while watching hulu?


I'm a big fan of the today widget for iOS and would love to see some of that same functionality with the tvOS. (not constantly on the screen, but a simple swipe up on the remote for game scores, stock updates, etc.)

No, this is not supported.

Overlays would be excellent.... Hopefully someday the NFL allows live streaming of games (in the local markets), I'd like to overlay Fantasy Football information from Yahoo during games... Just thinking outloud, there's a lot of room for this new platform to expand, I am sure this is all on their radar.
