Google reportedly has big plans for its products and services available on its TV platforms and third-party smart TVs. For one, YouTube TV is rumored to introduce a new feature called Mosaic Mode that will allow viewers to put up multiple channels at the same time.
An event for Android TV and Google TV platforms was held in July, where the rumored YouTube TV feature was presented to Google partners and manufacturers, Protocol reported. The Mosaic Mode is practically a version of the split-screen function. Instead of having multiple windows open for productivity purposes, it will allow TVs to be divided into quadrants to display “up to four live feeds” simultaneously.
The report did not have other details about the upcoming feature and how it will be implemented. But the mention of “live feeds” suggests YouTube TV’s Mosaic Mode might allow subscribers to watch different TV programming at the same time. This would be a nice addition for sports fans, who sometimes have to keep changing channels to keep up with different live events happening at the same time.
The YouTube TV app on Android TV and Google TV platforms is also expected to receive performance and stability updates. As for the release timeline for these improvements, the report only said these changes could take place “in the coming months.”
Google is also reportedly working on optimizing its TV platforms to support YouTube Shorts. The same report shared an image that allegedly came from a slide presentation from the event last month. This appears to be a mockup of how YouTube Shorts content will appear on TVs.
The leaked presentation shows a vertical video on the center of a TV screen quite similar to how YouTube Shorts appear on desktop. Titles of the video and the song used in the content are displayed on the lower right side of the screen, along with the name of the uploader. There are like, dislike, and three-dot buttons as well, but it is unclear how users will be able to scroll up and down to view different YouTube Shorts.
The YouTube Music app on TVs will reportedly receive new features, too. Google is reportedly working on adding options to browse playlists and add playlists to a user’s library directly from the TV.
