Samsung is constantly trying to improve its devices and has therefore introduced several features into its new Smart TVs that expand the functionality of the devices. A big step forward is the Multi View feature. It allows you to use your smartphone or tablet and your TV on the same screen at the same time.

With MultiView, you can do several things at once. And turning it on is quick and easy. Sometimes all you have to do is tap a button on your smartphone or tablet to use it. Well, let’s take a closer look at how to use Samsung MultiView with your smartphone or tablet.

What is Samsung MultiView?

Samsung MultiView is a feature that allows you to broadcast two video content simultaneously on a split screen. Similar split-screen technology is also used in Apple’s iPad tablets. On a split screen, you can watch your favorite content and video chat with someone at the same time.

The TV shows both videos at the same time. You can place the mobile image on one side, overlay it in picture-in-picture mode, or directly share the screen to provide the same space for both picture sources. Depending on the model, the Samsung TV screen can be divided into two or four areas.

This function can be very useful, for example, if you want to watch several sports events at the same time. You can also use it if you want to watch and communicate with someone at the same time.

Thanks to this technology, there are many situations in which you can use it. And it all depends on your imagination. However, it has to be enabled first.

How to turn on MultiView on Samsung TV

If you want to turn on the MultiView feature on your Samsung TV, you can follow these instructions:

• First of all, turn on your Samsung TV and press the Home button on your remote.
