Google YouTube TV begins to test the multi-view screen function, which supports up to four channels playing at the same time

Thank you, Mr. Air, a netizen of CTOnews.com, for your clue delivery! CTOnews.com, March 16 (Xinhua)-- some Google YouTube TV users will be able to test the long-awaited Internet-based TV service. YouTube's official blog recently said that the multi-view feature will be available in limited early access, allowing some users to watch up to four TV channels on the screen at the same time.

The test will include a number of preselected channels that support multi-view functionality. According to released screenshots, four of the channels will be CBS, TBS, TNT and TruTV, all of which will broadcast NCAA basketball games. The US College Basketball Championships are ideal for testing multi-view functionality.

The YouTube TV team extends a feature in regular YouTube services that allows content creators to split screens and open two views at the same time. Over time, the multi-view feature will be extended to more YouTube TV subscribers and allow them to choose custom channels in the future.

YouTube TV still has plenty of time to test the feature before NFL Sunday Ticket is launched in the fall of 2023, which will allow subscribers to watch more NFL games. Multi-view functionality will also appear in standard YouTube services at some point in the future.
