YouTube has announced that it will once again livestream Coachella. This year, the platform has made a few improvements to the overall experience. This starts with more simultaneous livestreams, upping the total number to seven stages. The Quasar stage, in particular, is getting some special treatment, as it will be streamed in both horizontal and vertical formats. According to YouTube, the vertical stream will be shot on a Pixel device.
In addition to more livestreams, you’ll be able to watch the festival in 4K resolution. For the first time, the Coachella Stage, Outdoor Theatre, and Sahara will all be livestreamed in 4K. YouTube is also bringing back Multiview, so you’ll be able to watch all three of these stages at the same time, plus an additional fourth stage.
