Here’s how to utilize YouTube TV’s multiview feature to watch up to four streams simultaneously:

To begin, navigate to the home screen on YouTube TV. From there, you have three avenues to discover channels offering multiview experiences:

1. Check the “For You” section on the home screen, where any available multiview streams will be listed.
2. Explore the “Watch in Multiview” section, which showcases the latest multiview streams, also located on the home screen.
3. Alternatively, you can simply select any stream you’re interested in watching. While the content is playing, press down on your remote. This action prompts the appearance of the multiview button at the bottom left of the screen. Click on it to access a menu displaying all available multiview options, appearing to the right of the stream.

Once multiview mode is activated, your screen will be divided into sections displaying all chosen streams. The audio will emanate from the stream in the top left corner (or left of the screen, depending on the number of streams). You can switch audio between streams using the directional pad on your remote, with the channel currently playing audio highlighted by a white box. Additionally, you can opt for full-screen viewing of a specific stream by selecting it while its audio is selected, thereby closing other channels and reverting to single-channel viewing mode.

However, it’s worth noting a common concern with multiview: the inability to select specific channels or programs. Instead, users must choose from preset content options supporting the multiview feature. Consequently, there may be instances where desired content, such as all four NFL games, isn’t available simultaneously. Likewise, attempting to split-screen a game while another household member watches a different program may not always be feasible within the multiview framework.

Channels compatible with multiview are organized into four primary categories, each offering various channel options:

1. Sports: ESPN, ESPN 2, Fox Sports 1, NBC Golf Channel
2. News: BBC News, CNN, Fox News Channel, MSNBC
3. Business News: CNBC, Fox Business Network
4. Weather: Fox Weather, The Weather Channel
