Hey there clint11590,


Thanks for reaching out to the Apple Support Communities. To get started, when asking how to turn on multiview, are you referring to Picture in Picture viewing?


If so, check out the steps listed in the following resource that can help with enabling this feature: Control what’s playing on Apple TV - Apple Support


Turn on Picture in Picture viewing
You can play movies or TV shows in a small viewer that runs in the foreground while you play or browse other content on Apple TV.
Note: Picture in Picture may not be available in all apps. Check with your app’s developer to see if it’s supported.
1. In the Apple TV app  or app of your choice, choose a movie or TV show to begin playing.
2. During playback, do either of the following:
- Siri Remote (2nd generation or later): Show playback controls, then select the Picture in Picture button .
- Siri Remote (1st generation): Show playback controls, then select the Picture in Picture button .
The currently playing movie or TV show moves to a small viewer in the corner of the screen.
3. In the main area of the screen, navigate to and select another TV show or movie to play simultaneously.
The new video plays in full screen, behind the small corner viewer.
4. During playback, do any of the following to control Picture in Picture from the smaller picture:
- Swap audio from the larger to the smaller picture: Press the TV button   on the Siri Remote. To swap audio back to the larger picture, press the Back button  (Siri Remote 2nd generation or later) or Menu button button (Siri Remote 1st generation). 
- Move the viewer to any corner of the screen: Press the TV button  on the Siri Remote, then select the onscreen move button  to relocate the viewer to a new corner. Select again to move it to the next corner, and so on.
- Return to viewing full screen: Press the TV button  on the Siri Remote, then select the full-screen button .
- Stop playback and close the viewer: Press the TV button  on the Siri Remote, then select the close button .
5. To control Picture in Picture from the larger picture, show playback controls, then select the Picture in Picture button  and do any of the following:
- Swap the larger picture with the smaller picture: Select Swap   from the pop-up menu.
- Move the viewer to any corner of the screen: Select Move  from the pop-up menu to relocate the viewer to a new corner. Select again to move it to the next corner, and so on.
- Close the smaller picture: Select Close  from the pop-up menu.
6. To continue watching in Picture in Picture mode, press the Back button  (Siri Remote 2nd generation or later) or Menu button button (Siri Remote 1st generation).
