YouTube TV now lets users create personalized multiview layouts with any channels they choose. CEO Neal Mohan announced the feature Tuesday, allowing viewers to pin up to four live streams simultaneously.

The update expands YouTube TV's multiview capability beyond its previous limitations. The service originally launched multiview in 2023 with preselected sports content, particularly for March Madness coverage, before expanding to other preselected streams. With the new fully customizable version, users gain complete control over their viewing experience. They can mix and match any live channels available on YouTube TV to build their preferred layout. The feature accommodates up to four simultaneous streams in a single window, giving viewers flexibility to follow multiple events or content simultaneously. This addresses user requests for greater personalization in how they consume live content. The rollout continues YouTube's effort to differentiate its TV service in a competitive streaming market, offering tools that cater to sports fans and multitasking viewers.
