Well it looks like some people are going to have this function available to them for March Madness. I just checked to see if I have access to it yet and I did not.

Just checked, looks like I don't have it yet, unless it is it doesn't kick on until the games do.
The way google does their painfully slow rollouts of everything is annoying as ****.
Major ball dropped if they arent getting this out to everyone for the tournament.
Agree, supposedly this function is still in Beta so maybe they don't want to go with a Full Launch for it which sucks if that is the case.
I'm hoping that is the issue but more than likely I have a feeling I won't be high enough up on the totem pole to be one of the subscribers that gets access to it.
Been with YTTV for awhile, not active on my TV right now... I wonder if you have to pay for the 4k option
I do get that, but if nothing else a manual opt-in to the beta feature (with standard 'this is a beta, in testing, there may be bugs' warnings) would be nice.
From the linked article:
“Those who are part of early access will receive an email and see an alert about this feature in their YouTube TV experience,”

YouTube TV begins testing multiview to let sports fans watch four games at once
It’s launching to a lucky few just in time for March Madness.

If people and the internet were reasonable, that would make sense. However, this is the internet and google we are talking about. So if they make it available to the masses (even with a massive, giant warning notice) people will screw it up or it won't work right and then google inevitably will get blamed for a crappy product even if it was only in beta.
I can definitely get that. But if they're truly planning on getting this to 50% of the audience anyway, they're already well into distributing this to the masses to where it can't be much worse allowing some of the remainder to opt-in
I got on chat and you have to be enrolled as a beta tester. I enrolled and should see the feature in the next day they said.
Yep, I did the same thing over the phone. Hopefully it shows up on the screen by Thursday at 11 am.
Split screen capability is all the rationale I need to inform my wife that we must upgrade our 80" TV to a larger model.
Is this something the YouTubeTV chat feature has to enable for you? Or can I enroll to be a beta tester on my end?
Turned on my tv this morning and had this message. Didn’t opt into anything ever. Maybe I’m just a high priority client!
