YouTube TV scores a touchdown with custom multiview setups and a way to monitor fantasy rosters

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support

The next NFL season officially kicks off on September 5, 2024, and ahead of the start date, YouTube TV has revealed multiple new features catering primarily to the American Football audience. 

Subscribers to NFL Sunday Ticket will be given the ability to create their own multiview setup, meaning you won't be forced to choose a pre-made combination.

YouTube states that users can pull together two, three, or four Sunday Ticket games at once. Subscribers can also enjoy their multiview setup “on mobile devices and tablets, in addition to TVs,” so they’ll never have to worry about missing out on a killer play. Base Plan members will instead have to settle for looking up multiview streams of NFL games airing on locally selected stations, though.

Next, fantasy football players can connect their Yahoo Fantasy account to YouTube TV through the platform’s Fantasy View feature. The announcement says to connect their account, users need to go to the “Sports” tab within the app’s account settings menu on their smartphone. 

Once everything is set up, a new “Fantasy” tab appears on YouTube TV's Scores & Stats page. This tab will show your team’s players, scores, and opponent’s roster, among other things. 

Additionally, several improvements are scheduled to be released to Fantasy View. Sunday Ticket subscribers will receive even more love as they’ll gain unique access to the feature on tablets and web browsers later in the season. 

Plus, fantasy football players will begin to see “key plays and multiview combinations tailored to their… lineups” at a future update.

New design

Back in March, YouTube rolled out a new two-column layout to its video player. Viewers can watch a video on the left and check out the comment section or the channel’s description on the right. This same design is now being introduced to sports content. However, instead of comments, you’ll see live stats, scores from other games, key plays, and info on your fantasy football team lineup.

Other notable features in the patch include a spoiler mode to hide final scores, “advanced playback controls” like Broadcast Delay to “reduce live spoilers,” and a shortcut called Jump to Last Channel. This lets you hop between channels so you don’t miss the action.

It’s unknown exactly when the update will launch other than it’ll come out sometime in the autumn. We reached out for more information on this, and we'll update this story if we hear back.

Google’s AI Mode can explain what you’re seeing even if you can’t

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support Google’s AI Mode now lets users upload images and photos to go with text queries The feature combines Google Gemini and Lens AI Mode can understand entire scenes, not just objects Google is adding a new dimension to its experimental AI Mode by connecting Google Lens's visual abilities with Gemini . AI Mode is a part of Google Search that can break down complex topics, compare options, and suggest follow-ups. Now, that search includes uploaded images and photos taken on your smartphone. The result is a way to search through images the way you would text but with much more complex and detailed answers than just putting a picture into reverse image search.

The Oscars’ new AI rule provides a tentative green light for generative tech in movies

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support Ahead of the 98th Oscars ceremony, scheduled for March 2026, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has made its first official rule regarding the use of generative AI in films. This follows a controversial 2024 season that saw Best Picture finalist The Brutalist (and, to a lesser extent, co-nominee Emilia Perez ) come under fire for its use of AI to alter actor performances and create architectural drawings. As recommended by the Academy’s Science and Technology Council, this new rule states: "With regard to Generative Artificial Intelligence and other digital tools used in the making of the film, the tools neither help nor harm the chances of achieving a nomination. The Academy and each branch will judge the achievement, taking into account the degree to which a human was at the heart of the creative authorship when choosing which movie to award." The new guidelines come alongside three other notable rule changes and add...
