YouTube CEO Neal Mohan announced Tuesday that YouTube TV is getting “fully customizable” multiview. Users have “full control to mix and match live streams” and can “build the personalized viewing experience you’ve been asking for,” Mohan says. You can pin up to four streams in your multiview window.
YouTube initially introduced multiview in a more limited form in 2023 as a way to watch preselected streams of sports content like March Madness, and soon after expanded it to preselected streams on topics like news, business, and weather programming. Last year, YouTube rolled out an experiment letting users build their own multiviews with “select non-sports content,” and Mohan said in January that the platform was planning to bring custom multiview to YouTube TV subscribers “soon.”
Custom multiview will be available to subscribers of both YouTube TV and of the more than 10 genre-specific plans, spokesperson Allison Toh tells The Verge.
