How to Build a Custom YouTube TV Multiview in 2026
The short answer
On a supported TV or streaming device, start an eligible live channel in YouTube TV, press down, choose Multiview and add channels in the builder. YouTube TV shows up to four at once and you choose which one you hear. For more than four, or to add Peacock, Prime Video or Paramount+ games, QuadCue on Google TV plays your channels as tiles.
Build the multiview
Open an eligible live channel in the YouTube TV app on a TV or streaming device. Press down on the remote, select Multiview, and add channels in the builder. Which channels can go together depends on your plan, add-ons and what’s live.
- Start an eligible live channel
- Press down and select Multiview
- Add channels in the builder
- Highlight the view you want to hear
Choose the sound
Only one view plays sound. Highlight the one you want to hear; select it to make it full screen, and press Back to return to the multiview.
Know the limits
Multiview isn’t available in web browsers or over AirPlay. Some older devices have fewer options or lower picture quality. It shows at most four channels, all from YouTube TV, and NFL Sunday Ticket and RedZone combinations follow the NFL’s own rules.
When four isn’t enough
QuadCue is an app for Google TV that plays your YouTube TV channels, and your Peacock, Prime Video and Paramount+ games, as tiles in one picture: up to 8 at once on NVIDIA SHIELD. You pick any channels, choose the layout, and press OK on a game to hear it. A free iPhone app shows the guide and moves the sound.
Questions
Can I build a YouTube TV multiview in a browser?
No. YouTube TV says multiview isn’t available in web browsers. Use a supported TV or streaming device.
Can I choose the sound in a multiview?
Yes. Highlight the view you want to hear.
Can I put a Peacock game next to YouTube TV channels?
Not in YouTube TV’s multiview. QuadCue on Google TV can, when you subscribe to both services.
Can I choose which game I hear?
Yes. Press OK on any game and its sound comes on; the red frame shows which one you hear. Press OK again for full screen.
Which TVs does QuadCue run on?
Google TV and Android TV devices on Android 9 or later, and Fire TV on Fire OS 7 or 8. NVIDIA SHIELD TV plays 8 games at once; most other boxes, sticks and smart TVs play 5 to 8, and QuadCue picks the number for your TV.
