YouTube TV launches custom multiview, here's where it won't work
Key Points:
- YouTube TV has officially launched its fully custom multiview feature, allowing users to select and watch multiple live channels simultaneously across all available channels and packages, including NFL Sunday Ticket.
- The new multiview builder offers predefined categories like Recommended, Sports, News, Shows, Movies, and Other live content, but users can customize their multiview with any live content they choose.
- Restrictions include support only for live content—video-on-demand and DVR recordings cannot be added—and some family-friendly content is excluded from multiview customization.
- The feature is compatible with the vast majority of living room and mobile devices, though less than 5% of older devices may have limited functionality, focusing multiview on major events like the NFL or World Cup.
- The rollout follows earlier limited availability last week and aims to enhance the sports viewing experience by giving users full control over their multiview setup.
