With the start of the NFL season, Verizon decided to incorporate new features to its Yahoo Sports App to make it more interactive, for most football fans that will remain at home due to social distancing restrictions. The New features include a co-viewing option, AR replays and livestreamed games.
The co-viewing or “watch together” option will allow you to invite 3 other users to livestream the games. According to the Yahoo Sports App page, “Live games are available on the Yahoo Sports app on your phone and tablet. While games are available in the US only and screen-casting is not permitted.”
Verizon (with the Yahoo Sports App) is yet another company trying to increase users´ engagement for live events while people remain at home.
