I dunno what it says about my age that I can distinctly remember the first time TVs introduced picture-in-picture tech, but I was definitely young enough that it seemed like a complete gamechanger at the time. And I went on to utilize it maybe twice over the next few decades. But times have changed, and YouTube TV has totally upped the ante in the multi-picture game.
To be sure, everyone with a YouTube TV subscription has long been able to take advantage of four-screen viewing capabilities that were introduced some years ago. But the ever-present caveat has is that the options were limited to the platform’s de facto options, which have always been tied largely to sporting events and news programs. However, after years of customers asking for an a la carte option, the company has finally brought that update into existence.
