So why did we launch Views? Well, when we launched YouTube TV, we wanted to build a live TV experience for the new generation, one that was personalized, hassle-free, and — perhaps most important — fun. A lot of our viewers are devoted sports fans, and we found that when they watch sports, they aren't just looking at what’s on the big screen. They were also actively on their phones, finding more details such as stats for their fantasy football league, updates from other games, and more, all to enhance what they were already watching.
That’s where Views comes in. We wanted to provide the information our members were looking for, right on their TV, and only a button away.
When we introduced Views, it was only available for baseball, basketball, football, and hockey, and limited to just phones and tablets. Fast forward to today, you can now find Views for soccer and golf, and we launched a variation of Views, called “Jump to” segments, for tennis and even the Olympics. And it’s available right on the app where you watch YouTube TV.
