That massive stars up to 20Msol form by disk accretion is by now reasonably well established. We will present the latest observational results for the formation of single and multiple massive YSOs. By means of optical interferometry using the newly commissioned instrument Gravity at the VLT-I, we show the discovery of a young, embedded, 170AU-wide binary and is the most massive and most compact accreting young binary to date. We will also present the results of a multi-site multi-epoch follow-up campaign of the first well studied accretion outburst in a massive YSO.
