Just in time for March Madness, YouTube TV is rolling out a new feature called ‘multiview‘ that allows viewers to watch up to four streams simultaneously. Launched in 2017, YouTube TV is a premium subscription service that offers over 100 national and international TV channels, a collection of on-demand movies and shows, and more. It also offers a host of other features, such as DVR with unlimited cloud storage, the ability to share an account with up to six people, and the option to stream on up to three different screens at the same time.
As its name suggests, multiview allows users to stream multiple channels at the same time, on the same screen. The feature may not be practical for watching movies or TV shows, but it’s a great option for sports fans who do not want to miss out on any of the action, especially when some of their favorite sports teams are playing at the same time. The feature is offered by a number of streaming services, including Fubo TV, and allows users to watch up to four live channels simultaneously on one screen on AppleTV.
Enable Multiview On YouTube TV
YouTube TV subscribers can enable multiview from a number of different places within the app. For starters, on the Home tab, users will see multiview stream options within the ‘Top Picks for You’ section. Here, users can simply pick a preselected multiview stream to open it. Another way to start a multiview stream is to open a live game from the Home tab and then select ‘Watch in Multiview.’ The final option is available within the ‘Live’ tab. Here, users can open a live game and then select ‘Watch in Multiview.’ To close a multiview stream and get back to a traditional screen, just hit the ‘Back’ button on the remote.
To select a particular audio source and captions while multiview is enabled, simply use the direction pad on the remote to highlight a particular channel, and the audio will automatically switch to that particular stream. Users will see a white border around the view providing the current audio. Users can also go full screen with any one channel while in multiview. To do that, use the direction pad on the remote to highlight the target channel, and then press the ‘Select’ button on the remote to go full-screen. Press the ‘Back’ button to return to the multiview setup.
While multiview is a great option for sports fans wanting to make the most of March Madness with four simultaneous streams, there are a few things to keep in mind before trying to use the feature. At launch, multiview is only available on the YouTube TV app for smart TVs and streaming media players, meaning people using the web version or the mobile apps will not be able to access the feature. Also, as of March 2023, multiview is still gradually rolling out to YouTube TV viewers, and the company says it will take “several months” for it to be available to all users everywhere.
