YouTube TV has begun the widespread rollout of its new custom multiview feature, enhancing its appeal for sports fans. This capability allows subscribers to mix and match live content from various channels, including options like NFL Sunday Ticket. The update, which officially launched following a preview last week, is aimed at providing users with more control over their viewing experience.
With the introduction of the multiview builder, users can select any live content they wish to display, moving beyond previously recommended channels. However, there are limitations: only live programming can be included, with restrictions on certain family-friendly content. Additionally, while the feature is available on most devices, less than 5% of older devices may not support the full range of customization options.
As part of this rollout, YouTube TV has emphasized its focus on sports and major events, allowing users to curate their viewing preferences. The multiview feature comes with predefined categories, helping users navigate between sports, news, shows, movies, and other live content.
