Live Favorites Panel
Click the star button to open the live favorites panel: it defaults to "live only", and you can filter channels by category or by tags (multi-select).

Adding Favorites
In Favorites Manager, click “Add New” and paste a channel link — that is the most reliable way: twitch.tv/channel-name, youtube.com/@handle and youtube.com/channel/… are all recognised, and a YouTube video link is converted to its channel. You can pick a list, add tags and choose to load it on the canvas right away (off by default); leave the custom name empty to use the official channel name. You can also batch-import several links at once, separated by commas or new lines.

Twitch Import
Pro Tip
Open Twitch Import in Favorites Manager and press “Connect Twitch”. After Twitch asks you to authorise read-only access to the channels you follow, you come back to the site; show your followed channels, tick the ones you want (or select all) and import the selection. Channels are listed 100 at a time — use “Load More” for the rest. The authorisation token is kept only for this tab and cleared once the import finishes; live detection afterwards does not need you to be logged in to Twitch.
Favorites lists and opening a whole list
Favorites can be sorted into Favorites Lists (for example “Esports” or “VTuber collabs”); list names must be unique, and deleting a list moves its channels to Ungrouped. In the favorites panel on the dynamic island, pick a list without ticking anything and “Load all in category” appears, opening the whole list on the canvas with a chat for each stream. With more than 9 channels you are asked to confirm first, so the browser does not choke.

How live detection works
The favorites panel shows Online Only by default, and a green dot means the channel is live (viewer counts are not shown). Your favorites are checked about 1.5 seconds after you open the site, when you enter the canvas, and every 25 minutes after that; turning on “Auto-detect live status in background” in settings checks every 5 minutes instead. Nothing is checked while the tab is in the background — it catches up when you come back. Twitch channels are checked up to 100 at a time; YouTube channels are throttled — an offline channel is checked at most once every 15 minutes and a live one once every 30 minutes — so a YouTube channel can take 15 minutes or more to turn green, and its green dot can stay on for up to about 30 minutes after the stream ends. Use the refresh button on the favorites panel to check right away.
Worked example: a list of regulars you open in one go
1In Favorites Manager, create a list, for example “Weekend collab”.
2Use “Add New” to paste each streamer’s channel link and choose “Weekend collab” as the list; for many people, paste them all at once with batch import.
3When it is time, open the favorites panel on the dynamic island, pick “Weekend collab”, tick the people with a green dot and press the load button — or tick nothing and press “Load all in category”.
4You can also use My favorites as a filter on the Stream Schedule to see only these people’s upcoming streams.
Limits and things to know
1Favorites live only in this browser and are not synced to the cloud; use Backup & Restore to move them to another device.
2A YouTube favorite can only be loaded onto the canvas while it is live — offline YouTube favorites cannot be loaded. Offline Twitch channels can be loaded and simply show as offline.
3“Save current canvas” on the dynamic island saves each stream on the canvas as its own favorite (no list, no layout). To keep a layout, use “Save Current Layout” in the layout list.
4If you type only a channel name instead of pasting a link, you will be asked whether it is Twitch or YouTube before the favorite can be added. A YouTube name is looked up as an @handle, so a typo or an unknown name means live detection will not work for it — pasting the full channel link is still the safest option.
The dynamic island is the control bar at the bottom of the canvas page. It stays hidden until your cursor reaches the bottom edge of the screen, and every canvas action starts here.
