How to watch multiple streams on Twitch at once

There are many reasons why we may want to watch more than one streaming channel at a time. Sometimes because one of our favorite channels is simulcasting; others, because a streamer is collaborating with others. You don't want to miss out on the best content, but you don't know who to choose either. How to watch multiple streams on Twitch?

Before continuing, we already told you that it is perfectly possible to watch several streams on Twitch at the same time. The most obvious way is to arrange multiple tabs on the screen: multiple browser windows are opened and placed next to each other. Then it is simply a matter of adjusting certain aspects such as the volume control and that's it.

That can work when we have a relatively large screen. If not, we will miss a lot of details in the broadcasts of those games. Also, it's quite inconvenient to jump from tab to tab. Fortunately, it is possible gather different streams in a single web.

From the platform itself: Group Stream

The option of Group Stream allows a streaming connection of up to four creators live through a single window. For the viewer, a real joy, especially if we talk about team games of the type battle royale.

If we wish to attend one of these group broadcasts, we simply have to look for "Squad Stream" in the filters section of Twitch. We depend, yes, that the streamers have configured everything correctly.

In the case of being the ones who carry out the transmission, we can Send an invitation in the following way: we click on "Add a channel" and we will write the name of the user we want to invite to our group (the invitations are for a maximum of 3 channels). It is important to make sure that these channels are live before sending the invitation.

Once the invitations have been accepted, all you have to do is click on «Start Group Stream». Doing this will bring up a banner on streamers' channel pages to allow viewers to view everything in group mode.

Attention: in the case of mobile viewing, viewers will only be able to watch a maximum of 3 channels at the same time; in the case of groups of 4 channels, they must select which 3 channels of those 4 they want to see. This limitation is in the interest of viewing quality, to be optimal for all viewers equally.

Using external websites

If what we want is to watch several streams at the same time, there are several pages that give access to several channels simultaneously. These are the best:

multi-twitch

The web address of Twitch channels is similar to that of YouTube. The user's name appears after the backslash symbol. An example: http://www.twitch.tv/user-one. That is where the key to using Multitwitch lies.

How does it work? let's put by example that we want to see a duel between two streamers (user one and user two), who are broadcasting the game from their respective channels. In this case, in our browser we will write the following:

http://www.multitwitch.tv/usuario-uno/usuario-dos

By doing this, automatically main domain name changes from Twitch to Multitwitch. It is a website integrated into the Twitch system that is used as a tool to open the channels that we want to add. With it, we will not only see the image and listen to the original audio, but we will also be able to follow the comments of other viewers.

In the example above we refer to only two channels, although in reality you can add as many channels as you want, as long as each username is separated by a backslash. Here it must be said that the proper functioning will depend in any case on the power of our computer.
