The availability of a limited number of simultaneous streams on a streaming service’s multi-view feature affects user experience. A restriction to displaying only two video feeds concurrently impacts the options available to subscribers wishing to watch multiple events simultaneously. This functionality contrasts with configurations allowing a greater number of concurrent streams.
Restricting the number of viewable screens may streamline resource allocation on the provider’s servers, potentially leading to cost savings. Historically, early multi-view offerings were limited by bandwidth constraints and technological limitations, which necessitated a smaller number of concurrent video feeds. While technology has advanced, business decisions and licensing agreements may contribute to the continuation of these limits.
