Connect your existing Twitch account to see the channels you follow and chat with your own identity. MultiStreamer does not create a separate account. Every feature is free. No ads, no locked settings, no reduced stream count. Free watching runs in two minute stretches with a 30 second break in between. Pro removes that timer, and that is the only difference. Features • Watch up to 5 streams at once • Live chat with animated emotes from Twitch, 7TV, BetterTTV, and FrankerFaceZ • 7TV name paints, so chatters look the way they do on the web • Send messages with your own Twitch identity, and reply in threads • Cheers, first messages, channel point highlights, subs, and raids are called out • Emote picker grouped by source, with search across all of them and a Recent tab that follows you between channels • Group the channels you follow into your own Live tab sections, synced across your devices • Reruns and 24/7 loops sort themselves into Always Live • Push notifications when a channel goes live, per channel (iPhone and iPad) • VODs with chat replay synced to the video, resuming where you left off • Clips by channel or across everyone you follow, by day, week, or month • Search any Twitch channel, or browse top games with live viewer counts • Focus mode, stream rotation, and volume per stream • All, Video, Chat, and Chat plus Audio viewing modes • Pin a fixed stream quality, or leave it automatic • Background playback as Picture in Picture or audio only (iPhone and iPad) • Light, Dark and OLED themes (iPhone and iPad) • Preload a channel's emotes before you watch, with a cache from 100 MB to 2 GB • Streams reconnect on their own if they drop • Widget for the channels that are live right now • 20+ language filters • Available on iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, and Mac MultiStreamer Pro Pro removes the watch timer.
