Superbowl - streaming on AVP - what app are you using ?

There is a search field on the VP App Store. They have the Paramount Plus iPad app.
This has been a very difficult morning for me and I am not a sports fan.
Just wanted to try out Paramount+ on VP for the Superbowl.
My iPhone has all the streaming apps but since this "dumb" VP that connected to my iPhone initially during setup couldn't see them, I had to change Apple IDs manually.
How silly is this VP when it was used to initially connect to my iPhone?
My phone has 2 Apple IDs - one for email & find my devices and the second is for purchased apps, media, etc..
Why can't the VP pickup both Apple IDs that are on my iPhone and use them so that I don't have log in/out each time ???

Trying to watch YouTube TV through safari is pretty cumbersome. I wish there was for sure going go be a dedicated YouTube app sooner than later.
The latest guidance from Tim Cook is to buy two Apple Vision Pros for your use case.
It’s difficult to bring up menus without inadvertently pausing the video. Mine also keeps defaulting to 480p. I’ve got to manually change it. Any way to change that? My internet speed isn’t an issue.

Just waiting for the surprise announcement that the game will be streamed in spatial video for AVP owners 
Just curious, since I only have one AppleID, does it work the way you want on any other device, such as a Mac, iPad or iPhone?
Do you have simultaneous access to both IDs at the same time there? Or do you also need to login/logout on those devices too?
I have the same set up with multiple Apple IDs and you have to do it manually, but you can make it work. You have to go to the settings and App Store and sign out of your other Apple ID and just sign in there with your Media Apple ID. I agree it’s a frustrating user experience, But this is definitely the type of problem that will be fixed with software revisions
YouTube tv was a disaster for the superbowl, I have used it before to watch a recorded program and that worked. Paramount works nicely but I can’t pause to align with my zoom friends on a more delayed feed so that sucks.
Gotta bring up the on screen menus on bottom right of video screen. Getting it to show up is a crap shoot which is why I hope we get a dedicated app soon.
So how did you like using Paramount+ for watching the Superbowl game live ?
I found it very sub par - low video quality - poor streaming experience on Paramount.
Ended up watching on my Sony Bravia OLED with much higher resolution, video quality and no streaming delays.
Thanks, that eventually worked. Quite the pain in the ass though.
One ID is used for email, iCloud, and find my devices - it is on all my devices.
The other ID is used for media purchases / downloads / apps.
Separates my work and personal devices with the first ID common for all the device.
Wondering if anyone else had this experience... I was watching the Super Bowl yesterday, streaming on Paramount+ on AppleTV and it was totally fine, but wanted to see it on the Vision Pro and was surprised that the same Paramount+ stream was not in 4K. Not even high def, it really looked low resolution like a standard TV. I know this can sometimes happen if the wifi speed is slow or the device might need time to buffer the stream, but it never got any better. I've got very fast wifi at home, never had any issue with an AppleTV+ movie or show streaming in 4K or 3D on this device. So was it Paramount limiting the feed on this version of the app? Or some limitation of the device? Or just me?
I assume that there is something wrong with the live stream feature.
This won't help people, but I ended up watching it via the Tivo app on an iPad. Yeah, it's a small screen, but it's big enough as I have a holder to put it in front of my face. Best of all, I could pause and rewind the game -- something you apparently can't do with either the CBS or Paramount+ apps (or many others, it seems).
