How to watch multiple live streams at once
Stream Mix places multiple live broadcasts in one browser workspace. You can combine Twitch channels, YouTube live streams, and Kick channels, then choose whether each window shows its video, chat, or both.
1. Paste a URL or enter the identifier
The quickest option is to paste the complete stream URL. Stream Mix detects the supported platform and extracts the identifier automatically.
-
For Twitch, paste
https://twitch.tv/channel. -
For YouTube, paste
https://youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEO_IDorhttps://youtu.be/VIDEO_ID. -
For Kick, paste
https://kick.com/channel.
If you prefer, select the platform manually and enter only the Twitch or Kick channel name, or the YouTube video ID.
2. Add the stream
Open Stream Mix and paste the URL. The platform selector updates automatically. Then choose Stream + Chat, Stream, or Chat and select Add to create a new window. You can still select a platform and enter its identifier manually. Repeat the process for every perspective you want to follow.
3. Arrange the grid
Drag a window using its title bar and resize it from either lower corner. Make the primary broadcast larger and keep secondary perspectives or chats nearby. Window positions are saved automatically in your browser.
4. Share the workspace
Select the share button in the site header to copy a link containing the streams, display modes, and grid positions. A recipient with an empty workspace can open it immediately. If they already have streams saved, Stream Mix asks before replacing their current workspace.
5. Reclaim viewing space
Enable Compact mode to hide the site header and let video and chat use more of the workspace. Move the pointer to the top edge of a window whenever you need its drag, close, minimize, or fullscreen controls.
Common multistream use cases
- Follow several players’ perspectives during an esports tournament.
- Watch an official broadcast alongside creator co-streams.
- Monitor live coverage occurring on more than one platform.
- Keep a main video large while following one or more chats.
Playback considerations
Every additional stream uses bandwidth and processing power. If playback stutters, reduce the quality inside secondary players, show chat without video where appropriate, or close streams you are not actively watching. Streams may also have slightly different broadcast delays because each platform delivers its own player independently.
Platform-specific setup and troubleshooting
- Watch multiple Twitch streams for live channel inputs, display modes, and Twitch embed troubleshooting.
- Watch multiple YouTube live streams for supported video URLs, video IDs, and live chat availability.
- Watch multiple Kick streams for channel inputs, Kick player behavior, and chat troubleshooting.
