YouTube TV multiview: choose the games and captions you want
Build an available game combination, follow audio from one pane and check your device before troubleshooting an absent tile.

Start with a programme in the multiview builder
On a supported TV or streaming device, begin with an eligible live programme. Use the remote to bring up the player controls and open Multiview when the option appears. Add the second programme from the available list. YouTube TV supports up to four panes in its documented multiview experience, with available choices set by the builder. A channel can be present in the ordinary live guide while its current programme is unavailable for the combination.
Make the first test before the game starts. Open both desired broadcasts separately. Note their full names and the channels carrying them. Start one, then see whether the builder offers the other. A successful single-stream test establishes access to the game. A missing entry in the builder is a separate question about the combinations offered at that time.
Choose which programme you hear
Move focus to the pane you want and look for the active audio indicator. Audio and captions follow the view you select. If the picture you care about is small, expand that pane to full screen and return to the combination when you are ready. This matters when the games are close. Leave the score you are following in view and give its commentators and captions the active pane.
| What you see | What to do |
|---|---|
| Both broadcasts play alone and one is missing from the builder | Check the builder’s current choices again near programme start |
| The builder is missing from the TV app | Open the device-capability information from the support menu and compare a known eligible programme |
| The wrong commentators or captions are active | Select the desired pane and confirm the audio indicator |
| Text is too small to read in the pane | Expand that programme and restore the layout when you are done |
Keep the account and device consistent
If another screen offers the arrangement, compare the app version and device features while using the same account and current playback area. Put both model names, the programme names and the time into a support report. This is more useful than reporting that the multiview button disappeared while changing accounts, networks and devices together.
