Basics
Welcome to MultiStream Hub
In one sentence: it puts several Twitch or YouTube streams in a single browser tab so you can watch them together. Nothing to install, no account needed — open the page, paste a URL, and you are watching. Each section below covers one feature; working through them takes about ten minutes.
🚀 Getting Started
First time here? Walk through these six steps once and you will have the hang of it. No sign-in needed anywhere along the way.
1Click Get started on the home page to open the canvas (the /canvas URL). This is where you will be watching.
2Move your cursor to the very bottom of the screen — the dynamic island slides up. The box on its far left is the search box (Ctrl + K jumps straight to it).
3Paste a stream URL into the search box, or just type a streamer name. Pasting is quickest — both Twitch and YouTube URLs are recognised, and Enter drops it onto the canvas.
4Repeat for everything you want to watch. From the second one onwards the windows arrange themselves — you do not have to drag anything.
5Everything starts muted, so several streams do not talk over each other. Open media controls on the dynamic island and raise the volume on whichever one you want to hear.
6Happy with the line-up? Hit the share button on the dynamic island — the link is copied, and whoever opens it sees the same set of streams.

Where first-time users usually get stuck
1You pasted a link and nothing happened: for YouTube, paste the link of the stream itself (watch?v=, youtu.be or /live/VIDEO_ID), not the channel page. See “Supported link formats” in the Smart search guide.
2The picture is there but there is no sound: new streams start muted by default. Raise that stream’s volume in media controls on the dynamic island, or turn off “Mute new streams on open” in settings.
3Your streams vanished after a reload: the canvas is not saved permanently. Come back within 10 minutes and you will be asked whether to restore your last session; to keep channels for the long term, add them to your favorites or copy a share link.
4You do not know who is live: open the Stream Schedule to see which Taiwanese VTubers are live now and who streams in the next 7 days, then tick a few to add them to the canvas in one go.
5You are on a phone: the mobile version has no free-form canvas. Instead there are four tabs — Watch, Chat, Favorites and Settings — and streams are added the same way.
How to use the Taiwanese VTuber stream schedule, what each card means, where the data comes from and how often it updates, and which streams can be missing or late.
