Google announced the availability of a new feature for its YouTube TV application on smart TVs titled 'Mosaic Mode.' Mosaic Mode is a new organizational feature that allows viewers to simultaneously watch up to four pieces of content at a time. While this may seem excessive for watching typical YouTube videos or YouTube Shorts, this feature has a number of convenient use cases.
One of the most important use cases is the ability to simultaneously watch up to four live streams. This means users can view, for example, four different perspectives of a competitive esports match, or four different angles of a traditional sports match, simultaneously. Another use case for Mosaic Mode is the ability to have several tutorials open at a time, which can help users navigate complex tasks without having to constantly switch between videos.
