Today, Peacock announced a host of new features as it gets ready for the 2024 Olympics from Paris, which will be streamed on Peacock this summer. This will include Peacock streaming over 5,000 hours of live coverage, including all 329 model events.
To get ready for the Olypics Peacock today announced some new features including Multiview that will let you watch up to four events at once. You will also be able to select which audio you want from what event as you watch Multiview.
“The Paris Olympics will mark another major milestone for Peacock’s leadership in live streaming with an unprecedented viewing experience that demonstrates our commitment to our customers, clients and partners,” said Kelly Campbell, President, Peacock and Direct-to-Consumer, NBCUniversal. “Following the Games, these new features will extend to other live events, joining the growing list of interactive elements and ad innovations that continue to set Peacock apart.”
Peacock also announced Live Actions, an interactive tool that lets fans pick events they would like to watch as they stream a show. For example you could be watching a studio show talking about upcoming events. The host will give you two options for events to watch, and buttons on the screen will let you select the event you want to watch. Live actions will also give you the ability to set reminds for upcoming events.
Here is how Peacock describes some of the other events:
- Spotlight of the biggest live events prominently displayed at the top of the screen when fans enter the Olympics hub.
- A “Browse by Sport” rail to allow fans to quickly find all live events, highlights and replays for their favorite competitions. Fans can easily jump between different sports hubs through connected navigation at the top of their screens.
- A new “Search by Star Athlete” feature, so fans can find live events or replays that include their favorite athletes, regardless of whether they are an individual competitor or part of a team sport. As in previous Olympics, fans can also search by sport, event and team, including country names and three-letter country codes.
- An enhanced Interactive Schedule, so fans can plan their Olympics viewing day-by-day, join events live, watch replays or add events to their “My Stuff” to watch later.
- Up-to-date Medal Standings for fans to keep track of every country competing in Paris.
- Peacock’s award-winning “Catch Up with Key Plays,” which allows fans to easily access key moments when joining an in-progress game or revisit their favorite plays, will now be available for basketball and golf, in addition to soccer.
