FULL STORY ======================================================================Prime video app code tease 'Multiview' YouTube TV multiview lets you watch several sports games at once No official word yet on when or if it'll arrive in the app

Prime Video could be getting a YouTube feature, which will be perfect for
its expansion into live sports. Leaked code suggests the best streaming service could soon be adding multiview.

Thats according to Android Authority , who dug through the code of the Prime Video app specifically v3.0.389 and found several strings referencing multiview. Such as: Set up your multiview Pause unavailable during multiview Rewind unavailable during multiview

Beyond setting up a multiview it appears that Prime Video's version of the feature wont let users pause, rewind, or fast forward while its active. What is multiview?

While a name alone isnt much to go on, we can turn to Prime Video competitors to learn what multiview might entail. YouTube TVs multiview version of the tool allows you to watch four sports live streams at the same time.

The advantage of this is if there are several matches on at the same time
that youre keen to tune into you can do it all on one screen without ever needing to change channel.

In some versions of the tool, you could even throw on an entirely different video feed perhaps in Prime Video's case a new episode of a show you love
so you can watch that with sports happening in the background. Perfect for when a game gets stale, or if you cant agree who should control the TV.

All of this is speculation for now. Theres no word yet on when Prime Video will get multiview assuming it even does at all and if multiview does
arrive well have to see what form it takes. It would make a lot of sense, so hopefully it does land in the near future, but well have to wait and see.
