We are currently using Shell navigation within a Xamarin Forms app, and have an ask to implement a live video support functionality similar to FaceTime (but within our app).

Is it possible to float a “partial view” over the top of all pages of the app (to show the support video feed as the user continues to navigate) without having to redraw/reconnect in on every page change?

If so, how would we approach this?

Use AbsoluteLayout or RelativeLayout, they can set control based on x and y.

Managed to find an answer to this.

This package has a fantastic set of popup options which allowed us to achieve exactly what we needed (popup floating on top of the entire app). Various options also available re: enable / disable input etc.
