Disney+ Hotstar, the official streaming partner of the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023, has unveiled a slew of new features to enhance the cricket-watching experience for its users. The most innovative feature is MaxView, which allows users to watch matches in vertical mode on their mobile devices. MaxView, developed in collaboration with ICC, offers a live feed tab, scorecard tab, and vertical ad formats in a 9×14 portrait view.
MaxView also uses production techniques such as single-player frames and split views to provide unique perspectives on the same screen.
MaxView is not the only feature that Disney+ Hotstar has introduced for the World Cup. The platform has also optimized its data consumption to ensure quality streaming without data worries.
It has also implemented AI-based video clarity enhancements to improve the video quality in hazy weather conditions. Additionally, users can access an Always-On Scorecard Pill that shows the live score while they browse other content on the app. They can also set reminders for upcoming content and discover free content with Free Badges.
The best part is that the World Cup will be available for free on the Disney+ Hotstar mobile app. Users can enjoy all these features and more without any subscription fee. Disney+ Hotstar aims to redefine the cricket-watching experience with these features and provide users with an immersive and engaging experience.
