Want to watch multiple live games on your TV screen? Here is the solution! YouTube TV launched the new Multiview feature to split up your screen. With this feature, you can simultaneously stream live games on four different channels on one screen. Currently, this feature has been rolled out only for selected US users. But in the future, everyone across the world can access the Multiview mode, announced by YouTube TV. When the 2023 NFL season begins, YouTube TV subscribers can start watching two or four games on a single screen.
To access this feature, you need to subscribe to the YouTube TV plan. You can also get a YouTube TV free trial. Unfortunately, you cannot use multiview mode to watch movies, series, shows, TV programs, documentaries, etc. It can only be accessed on sports content. YouTube TV is the best streaming service that streams the upcoming matches of NCAA March Madness, NFL, NHL, and many more. You can watch all these live games concurrently on YouTube TV using the multiview feature. Not only the big screen, but you can also access the multiview feature on small screens such as smartphones, tablets, Chromebook, and many more.
