Fubo is rolling out a big mobile app update today that adds a bunch of new features, including short-form videos with news about your favorite teams and leagues. You’ll also find a carousel of live video as soon as you open the app, allowing you to preview games before you tap into them.
The live TV streaming service is expanding a feature called Team Channels, which uses AI to create a playlist of bite-sized clips from a game that you’ve recorded. But Fubo is expanding this feature to more leagues (though the company doesn’t say which ones), while its AI system can now pick up on more kinds of key moments to include in its playlist.
In the coming weeks, Fubo says you’ll be able to watch Team Channels in portrait mode on the homepage, and Fubo’s AI system will zoom “into the most critical areas of the video” — similar to NBC’s Peacock vertical video streams. Fubo is making its game alerts available for baseball games starting today, too. That means you can receive push notifications about key updates in an MLB game, like a home run, and tap into the notification to jump to the exact moment. The service launched personalized game alerts for NBA games last year.
