Open multiview to watch multiple streams at once

Pre-set multiviews are groups of up to four live games that are displayed together as a single stream. You have a few different options to find them on YouTube:

• At the top of your Startseite tab  in the “Top picks for you” row.
• Further down the Startseite tab  in the “Watch in multiview” row.
• You can also find them on a Primetime Channel’s homepage, such as the NFL, NBA, or WNBA, where multiviews are available.

To build a multiview on a smart TV or streaming device:

1. Select a game, and choose Watch in multiview.
2. Add an available game, and repeat to watch up to four games on one screen.

To build a multiview on a mobile device or tablet:

1. Select a game, and tap the multiview icon  on the player.
2. Tap the "add to multiview" button to add up to four eligible streams.

Keep in mind not all game combinations will be available.

You can easily switch between audio sources and captions while viewing multiple live programs:

• On a smart TV or streaming device: Use the direction pad on your remote to highlight the view you want to hear.
• On a mobile device or tablet: Tap once to pull up the player overlay, and then tap the view you want to hear.

You’ll see a white border and audio icon over the view providing the current audio.

Can I choose what to watch in multiview?

In cases where there are many multiview streams available, you can add games to build your preferred combination with ease. However, not all game combinations are available.

Our goal with multiview is to make it available to everyone with a television. Since most devices lack the necessary hardware, we process video feeds on our servers to support multiview.

This means that every unique combination watched in multiview uses limited data center and computational resources. We try to select the best combinations based on expected popularity, and are always improving our processes.
