YouTube TV Getting Ability to Split Into 4 Screens

[jdcyclone19]

@jdcyclone19 Is it showing you have access or still not yet? No dice for me yet.

I didn't see anything this morning before I left for work. I wonder if i need to close the app and relaunch though (have apple TV).

It looks like on YoutubeTV twitter that the feature will be live on Thursday.

Kinda dumb question but where exactly is the chat?

Sign in - Google Accounts

I signed out and signed back in but that didn't do anything for me.

So how are they deciding who gets this feature? Is it just random or certain geographies? Something else?

Don't think anybody knows know for sure. Might be who has been a subscriber the longest or just might be like a pure "lottery" type system.

Nice! It is showing up for me now.

I have the notice that I have early access but looks like they control what’s available for multiview. That’s the reason it starts on Thursday.

I had requested access via the chat earlier.

Didn't show up right away, but I just did a manual restart of the TV and the notice about multiview showed up. So if you're not seeing the notice yet, try that.

Yep, hopefully by the Fall it will be a full-time function where we can decide what 4 networks we want to watch. For now they are just Beta testing it with March Madness.

Just got my notice about multi streams. Pumped!

I'm thinking I might put the multiview screen on the bottom TV just to keep track of other games and keep one main game on top

Manual restart like hit the power off button on the remote? Or unplug the TV?

Unplug would probably do it, but often somewhere in the settings you can tell it to restart as well (on my sony tv I get to it if i press and hold the power button)

Sorry I'm late to the party, is this something you need to do to access (sign up for beta testing) or is it going to be live for everyone on Thursday? If the first, is there a link someone can post to sign up for beta testing? Thanks!!

I just automatically had mine when I turned on my tv Wednesday morning

For some subscribers it's just going to automatically show up. If you haven't seen a notice yet on the "Home" section that you have "Early Access" to Multiview for March Madness I would go to the Youtube TV Customer Support Chat or Call them and see if you can still get access to it. I called them. It might take a day or so though before it shows up on your account though.
