Well, this isn’t a widespread issue, per se, as not a lot of reports have been made regarding the same. So, it is possible that the problem is temporary and may fix itself after a while. Anyway, you should try these workarounds and check whether these are effective:
1) Restart the TV
Well, first and foremost, begin by restarting your TV, and then checking whether the multiview feature in YouTube TV works. If the issue is caused by a temporary bug, a simple restart should fix it.
2) Check your Internet
The multiview feature won’t work if your internet connection is slow or not stable enough to support multiple live streams. This is one of the most common reasons why the feature fails to work on your TV. So, ensure that your internet connection is fast, and only after this, try the multiview feature.
3) Wait for a while
As stated already, this issue might be a temporary one, caused by a server outage or a bug. So, we recommend that you try accessing this feature after a while. There are multiple reports of users stating that the issue fixed itself after a few hours; however, for some, it took days.
4) Clear Cache or Reinstall
If you’ve waited for quite some time, and the multiview feature is still not working, then you should clear the cache of the YouTube TV application. If you are using an Android TV or an Android smartphone, access the settings menu, go to Apps, select YouTube TV, and select the Clear Cache option. After this, launch YouTube TV to check if multiview works. If not, go back to the Apps menu, select YouTube TV, and then Clear Storage/Data. You can also select Uninstall as a last resort. After uninstalling, go to the Google Play Store to install the application again.
5) Use a different Google Account
It is possible that the issue is related to the Google account in use. So, try logging in with a different Google ID on your TV and then launching YouTube to check if multiview works.
