Multiview is one of my favorite YouTube TV features. Being able to watch two, three, or four channels at once is such a huge perk (especially during football season). And as of recently, multiview just got a huge upgrade.
Previously, you could only use multiview with channel combinations that YouTube TV picked for you. You could lightly customize these multiview setups, but there was no option to build your own multiview from scratch with exactly the channels you wanted. However, that’s finally changed.
Fully custom multiview is finally available in YouTube TV, and this is how you can use it.
