I am eating pizza while I am watching TV.

I am eating pizza while I am watching TV.

->I am eating pizza watching TV.

->I am eating pizza, watching TV.


I studied English, and I ate pizza.

-> I studied English, eating pizza.


I have learned that when I make participle structures with 'and-sentences', there should be a comma.

And then I was wondering if when I make sentences with while/when sentences, should there be a comma or not?

I am confused because there is no comma in the original sentence with 'while-one' but there is a comma with 'and-one',so I feel like 'and-one' is okay with a comma, but I do not know if there should be a comma or not in 'the while-one'.

What do you native English speakers think?

Thank you so much as usual and I hope my question is clear.
