That\u2019s according to a non-public presentation Google gave to its smart TV hardware partners, in which the search giant also discussed optimizations coming for YouTube Shorts on the big screen, as well as new YouTube Music functionality. <\/p>\n<p id=\"axxfeJ\">Mosaic Mode brings to mind <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2019\/3\/18\/18271560\/playstation-vue-multi-view-apple-tv-now-available\">a similar feature<\/a> that was available with Sony\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2019\/10\/29\/20938533\/sony-playstation-vue-live-tv-streaming-shutdown\">now-defunct<\/a> PlayStation Vue service. Although it was announced in a presentation for Google TV and Android TV hardware manufacturers, <em>Protocol<\/em> notes that the feature is likely to eventually arrive on non-Android smart TVs from Samsung and LG given that Google likes to keep its services consistent across different hardware.<\/p>\n<div class=\"c-float-right\">\n<aside id=\"mgZnjS\"><q>PlayStation Vue previously let you watch four streams side-by-side<\/q><\/aside>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"Ou6w7F\">Other new features detailed in the presentation include optimizations for YouTube Shorts, the company\u2019s TikTok-style short-form video service, when viewed on large screens. The report suggests that the YouTube Shorts interface on smart TVs could eventually ditch the scroll-bar used to scrub through traditional YouTube videos, and also offer quick access to thumbs up and thumbs down buttons. Although YouTube Shorts are currently watchable in YouTube\u2019s app on some smart TVs (such as LG\u2019s) they play using a standard YouTube interface that\u2019s not well-suited for their short-form style. <\/p>\n<p id=\"R23QYv\">Google\u2019s development of the feature comes as TikTok has increasingly been making inroads into the smart TV space. Although it\u2019s traditionally seen as a mobile service, TikTok is now available across a range of smart TV platforms from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2021\/11\/22\/22796353\/tiktok-tv-app-now-available-samsung-lg-google-android-tv\">Samsung, LG, Google<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2021\/11\/1\/22757449\/tiktok-fire-tv-app-available-us\">Amazon<\/a>. But <em>Protocol<\/em> notes that Google has the advantage that YouTube is pre-installed on many TVs, while customers have to manually seek out TikTok\u2019s apps.<\/p>\n<p id=\"B5ZlB5\">Finally, YouTube Music also has a couple of new features on the way for smart TVs, like the ability for subscribers to browse and add playlists and albums to their libraries. <\/p>\n<p id=\"ZZyuj4\">Google did not immediately respond to <em>The Verge\u2019s <\/em>request for comment, but <em>Protocol<\/em> reports that at least one of the new features could arrive in an update \u201cin the coming months.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><code><br \/><\/br><\/code><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2022\/8\/23\/23317835\/youtube-tv-four-channels-live-streams-simultaneously-shorts-smart-tv-music\">https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2022\/8\/23\/23317835\/youtube-tv-four-channels-live-streams-simultaneously-shorts-smart-tv-music<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Source: YouTube TV, Google\u2019s take on cable TV, could soon let viewers watch up to four live streams simultaneously in a new feature called \u201cMosaic Mode\u201d reports Protocol.
