Side by side with two videos means putting two videos together in one video, having a screen divided into two equal parts, in which the videos, which are different, are played simultaneously next to each other.
This effect can be used to show different perspectives or to create a cinematic effect with two themed videos, a mix between expectation and reality or create a double interview like that of the Le Iene program.
Whatever the reason, to combine two videos in a single movie, you need the right program and wanting to find a free solution we have to go to see if one of the free programs to edit videos on PC can be used to use this effect in a simple way.

A first program that works well to combine two videos is VSDC Video Editor, free and very powerful in its functions.
To put two videos on the same screen next to each other you have to add the first video to the timeline and drag it to bring it to the left part of the scene.
In the coordinate field, in the property window on the right, divide the video width by two and stretch the video if necessary.
The second video to be joined must be imported into the editor and then positioned exactly below the first on the timeline, in a uniform way
An important thing to consider is that the two videos that are going to be side by side have the same dimensions and at least similar quality.
If you want to put the same video twice on the screen you can press the right button on it then use the Duplicate function.
With the same program you can also create a split screen video using four videos.
Another program that can be used to support videos is Movavi, quite easy to use.
As the program starts, create a new project and add the two video files to combine into one.
By default, the selected videos are added to the track on the timeline and will then overlap to create the split-screen video.
The editor can split the screen in half both horizontally and vertically and to do this you need to double click on the video in the upper track to access the edit mode and find the tiling function.
The audio of both videos will be previewed and one of the two videos must be muted to avoid mixed and confused sound.
Tiling videos is also an operation that can be performed on Android smartphones thanks to the VideoStitch application, which is used to create video collages to be shared on Instagram and Facebook.
On iPhone, iPad and Mac, on the other hand, you can use the free iMovie app for Mac and iOS which has, among its many functions, also that of supporting videos, using the overlay function in the video settings following the instructions on the site Apple.
