YouTube TV has launched a fully customizable multiview feature, enabling users to mix and match live streams. Users have full control to build the personalized viewing experience they have been asking for, with the ability to pin up to four streams in their multiview window.
The Verge reported this development, highlighting how the feature allows subscribers to watch two, three, or four channels simultaneously.
The customizable multiview is available to subscribers of YouTube TV and more than 10 genre-specific plans, according to a spokesperson. YouTube initially introduced multiview in a limited form in 2023, focused on preselected streams of sports content such as March Madness.
The company expanded it soon after to include preselected streams on topics like news, business, and weather programming. Last year, YouTube rolled out an experiment allowing users to build their own multiviews with select non-sports content. A spokesperson stated in January that YouTube was planning to bring custom multiview to YouTube TV subscribers soon.
Separately, Google has started testing a side-by-side ad format for YouTube live streams on mobile devices.
