FuboTV Intros Interactive Features With Conmebol

FuboTV subscribers can stream South American Qatar World Cup 2022 qualifying matches (Conmebol) beginning Thursday with interactive options. The virtual MVPD integrated FanView to allow users to monitor stats and scores that will appear next to the match under a reduced-size video player; they can play free predictive games on the same screen using their remote control. FuboTV CEO David Gandler said Monday it’s the first time a company has “integrated live streaming television, free games and live stats within the same platform, on the big screen.” The company tested the features during the Conmebol match window in June and said integration of free games and FanView into the live soccer matches increased engagement by up to 37% more minutes, depending on platform, vs. those who didn't engage. FuboTV added new features for this week’s launch: Users can see where they place on a leaderboard for each game, and they can subscribe to notifications for updates. Players who engage with Conmebol matches in September will earn points toward winning a $1,000 prize, it said. Predictive, free-to-play games will be available on Android mobile, iOS mobile, Android TV, Fire TV, Roku and the web; FanView will be available on Android TV, Fire TV, LG TV, Roku, Samsung Smart TV, Xbox One consoles and the web.
