In an exciting prelude to the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023, Disney+ Hotstar has unveiled a game-changing feature called ‘MaxView.’ This revolutionary move, developed in partnership with the International Cricket Council (ICC), positions Disney+ Hotstar as the first platform in India to introduce vertical video streaming for cricket enthusiasts.
Maxview promises an immersive and one-handed viewing experience. It aims to redefine the way fans engage with the sport. This innovative feature can be accessed on the Disney+ Hotstar app, providing users with an exclusive vertical mode to elevate their cricket-watching experience.
With ‘MaxView,’ users gain access to a tailored interface that includes a live feed tab, a real-time scorecard, and vertical ads. This customized viewing experience ensures that cricket aficionados stay engaged and updated throughout the matches, even while on the move.
But what sets ‘MaxView’ apart are its additional features designed to enhance the overall cricket-watching adventure. It introduces a single-player frame, enabling users to zoom in on their favorite players, and a split view option that allows viewers to simultaneously witness the game from two different angles. This dynamic approach to cricket streaming promises to make the World Cup matches even more exciting and immersive.
To complement the viewing experience, Disney+ Hotstar has optimized its app to consume less data, making it ideal for users with limited cellular data plans. Moreover, the platform utilizes cutting-edge AI technology to ensure top-notch video clarity, delivering a premium streaming experience. To keep fans updated with the latest match statistics and developments, an always-on scorecard pill has been integrated.
Cricket enthusiasts will be pleased to know that Disney+ Hotstar will make the ICC Cricket World Cup available for streaming to both subscribers and non-subscribers. Non-subscribers can also join in on the action, albeit with streaming quality capped at 480p, while premium users can indulge in the matches in glorious 1080p resolution.
However, Disney+ Hotstar’s commitment to enhancing user experience doesn’t stop at cricket. The updated app introduces a novel content discovery feature known as the “Coming Soon Tray.” This feature offers users valuable insights into upcoming shows and movies on the platform, ensuring they never miss the latest entertainment offerings.
Disney+ Hotstar caters to a diverse range of user preferences. While the platform can be accessed for free, it also offers two subscription plans. The ‘Super’ plan, priced at Rs 899 annually, provides users with an ad-supported experience and offers streaming at up to 4K resolution. On the other hand, the ‘Premium’ plan, priced at Rs 1,499, guarantees an ad-free user experience and the highest quality streaming.
As the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023 approaches, ‘MaxView’ is creating waves by revolutionizing the way fans interact with the sport. With a plethora of innovative features and an unwavering commitment to delivering an unparalleled viewing experience, it is poised to be a game-changer in the realm of cricket streaming.
