In some implementations, a method includes providing one or more multiview templates to a user in response to a multiview request. The method further includes determining a selected multiview template from the one or more multiview templates. The method further includes obtaining a plurality of media content items to be viewed by the user based on the selected multiview template. The method further includes populating the selected multiview template with the plurality of media content items. The method further includes enabling the user to view the plurality of media content items based on the selected multiview template. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A system comprising: one or more processors; and logic encoded in one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media for execution by the one or more processors and when executed operable to cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising: providing a multiview button, wherein user selection of the multiview button initiates a multiview experience where one or more multiview templates are provided on a screen of television; providing the one or more multiview templates to a user in response to a multiview request; determining a selected multiview template from the one or more multiview templates; obtaining a plurality of media content items to be viewed by the user based on the selected multiview template; populating the selected multiview template with the plurality of media content items; and enabling the user to view the plurality of media content items based on the selected multiview template. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein the multiview request is a press of the multiview button. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein user selection of the multiview button initiates code that manages a multiview experience. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein at least one of the one or more multiview templates is curated. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein at least one of the one or more multiview templates is customized. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein a multiview experience comprises one or more of video content and audio content. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein the populating of the selected multiview template with media content is based at least on context associated with the user. ### Claim 8 A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium with program instructions stored thereon, the program instructions when executed by one or more processors are operable to cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising: providing a multiview button, wherein user selection of the multiview button initiates a multiview experience where one or more multiview templates are provided on a screen of television; providing the one or more multiview templates to a user in response to a multiview request; determining a selected multiview template from the one or more multiview templates; obtaining a plurality of media content items to be viewed by the user based on the selected multiview template; populating the selected multiview template with the plurality of media content items; and enabling the user to view the plurality of media content items based on the selected multiview template. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The computer-readable storage medium of claim 8, wherein the multiview request is a press of the multiview button. ### Claim 10 (depends on 8) The computer-readable storage medium of claim 8, wherein user selection of the multiview button initiates code that manages a multiview experience. ### Claim 11 (depends on 8) The computer-readable storage medium of claim 8, wherein at least one of the one or more multiview templates is curated. ### Claim 12 (depends on 8) The computer-readable storage medium of claim 8, wherein at least one of the one or more multiview templates is customized. ### Claim 13 (depends on 8) The computer-readable storage medium of claim 8, wherein a multiview experience comprises one or more of video content and audio content. ### Claim 14 (depends on 8) The computer-readable storage medium of claim 8, wherein the populating of the selected multiview template with media content is based at least on context associated with the user. ### Claim 15 A computer-implemented method comprising: providing a multiview button, wherein user selection of the multiview button initiates a multiview experience where one or more multiview templates are provided on a screen of television; providing the one or more multiview templates to a user in response to a multiview request; determining a selected multiview template from the one or more multiview templates; obtaining a plurality of media content items to be viewed by the user based on the selected multiview template; populating the selected multiview template with the plurality of media content items; and enabling the user to view the plurality of media content items based on the selected multiview template. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The method of claim 15, wherein the multiview request is a press of the multiview button. ### Claim 17 (depends on 15) The method of claim 15, wherein user selection of the multiview button initiates code that manages a multiview experience. ### Claim 18 (depends on 15) The method of claim 15, wherein at least one of the one or more multiview templates is curated. ### Claim 19 (depends on 15) The method of claim 15, wherein at least one of the one or more multiview templates is customized. ### Claim 20 (depends on 15) The method of claim 15, wherein a multiview experience comprises one or more of video content and audio content.
