Can I choose what to watch in multiview?

You can't fully customize your multiview streams.

In cases where there are many multiview streams available, you can add games to build your preferred combination with ease. However, not all game combinations are available.

Our goal with multiview is to make it available to everyone with a television. Since most devices lack the necessary hardware, we process video feeds on our servers to support multiview.

This means that every unique combination watched in multiview uses limited data center and computational resources. We try to select the best combinations based on expected popularity, and are always improving our processes.
