There is no reason to use your iGPU for "general purpose" if you have a dedicated GPU.

my laptop can use intel graphics for watching videos while using Radeon for games

That does not give you any performance improvement in games.

Again, there is no reason to want the igpu. The dgpu does everything and more. If you think you will save power, sorry but no. The dgpu still will be on and it doesn’t use much power at all for video playback. 

But how can my laptop uses both GPU?
