YouTube TV is rolling out fully customizable multiview, allowing subscribers to watch up to four live streams simultaneously in a single window. YouTube CEO Neal Mohan announced the feature on Tuesday, April 29, 2026, saying users now have “full control to mix and match live streams” and can “build the personalized viewing experience you’ve been asking for.”
The update applies to subscribers of both the main YouTube TV plan and the platform’s more than 10 genre-specific plans, according to spokesperson Allison Toh.
YouTube first introduced multiview in 2023 in a limited form, designed around preselected sports streams such as March Madness coverage. The company later expanded it to include preselected streams covering news, business, and weather programming. Last year, YouTube began an experiment allowing users to build their own multiviews using “select non-sports content.” Mohan had signaled in January 2026 that a full custom multiview rollout for YouTube TV subscribers was coming “soon.”
The move to fully open multiview responds directly to subscriber demand, with Mohan framing the launch as delivering a viewing experience users had specifically requested. The feature may appeal particularly to viewers who follow multiple live events at once — such as sports fans tracking several games or news viewers monitoring multiple channels simultaneously.
