Observe that no matter you watch in multiview will present up in your YouTube TV watch historical past.

YouTube is telling people on Twitter to reach out to its automated service system to attempt to get multiview fast-tracked to a selected YouTube TV account.

One sentiment echoed all through the feedback is about how multiview will make sports-watching a extra easy expertise for devoted followers. FuboTV, a sports-centric streaming service, provides multiview mode on Apple TV. It was additionally a function on the gone-but-beloved PlayStation Vue service.
