FuboTV’s Multi-View feature is a highly popular feature for sports fans, allowing you to watch up to four channels simultaneously on a single screen.1
Important Note on Device Availability:
Historically, FuboTV’s native Multi-View was primarily available on Apple TV devices.2 More recently, the feature has also launched in beta on select Roku devices.3 FuboTV often announces its intention to expand the feature to other devices in the future.4
If you are using a device other than a compatible Apple TV or Roku, you may not see the option.
Here is a step-by-step guide on how to access and use the feature on a compatible streaming device:
