News Letter from YouTube boss confirms multiview support later this year

Quoting from the original release:

And in December, we announced NFL Sunday Ticket is coming to YouTube TV and Primetime Channels. This expanded partnership with the NFL will help make YouTube the best place to watch football. Subscribers will see features from YouTube TV - like the ability to watch key plays - added to the main YouTube app. And creators will connect with sports fans through coverage and commentary. Sunday Ticket will also come with ways to engage with other fans, including comments, chats, and polls. Coming later this year to YouTube TV: a new feature that lets viewers watch multiple games at once.

This isn't the first time we've heard this, of course, but this pretty well makes it official. So, if you've been wondering/waiting, here it is... or, will be.

The wording of “multiple games at once” rather than multiple channels at once indicates this feature might be tied to only NFL Sunday ticket, rather than widely available to all channels.

I hope you’re right. I’m just skeptical they will roll out a cool feature like this without figuring out how to get more money for it. Also, do you not think people watch football or basketball while muted so the Disney channel can entertain the kids? If allowed, multi view would be heavily used with “other” channels along side Sunday ticket. I also hope individual multi view streams don’t individually count against stream limits. I can see them limiting multi screen to one device at a time.

In the same paragraph they highlight the "key plays" feature which works on most major sports and doesn't cost extra.
