🔗 Share your canvas

Turn the multi-stream setup you are watching into a single link — whoever opens it sees the same line-up.

How to share

The share button on the dynamic island — on the dock bar if you use the edge dock style, or at the top on mobile — builds a link from the current canvas and copies it to your clipboard, ready to paste to a friend. Press it with an empty canvas and it reminds you to add a stream first; if the browser blocks clipboard access, a field appears so you can copy the link by hand.

After clicking share, a toast appears in the bottom right: the link has been copied, paste it to a friend
The link is already on your clipboard — just paste it to a friend

What the link looks like

The link looks like this: /canvas?streams=tw:channel,yt:videoId. tw means Twitch, yt means YouTube, separated by commas; if the canvas has a chat window, chat=1 is tacked on the end. One link holds at most 16 streams and ignores anything beyond that. You never have to build this by hand — the share button does it. It is spelled out here just so the URL is not a mystery.

What the link restores — and what it does not

Pro Tip

The link records only which channels to watch — not volume, mute state or window coordinates. Whoever opens it gets the default arrangement. A YouTube stream can only be written into the link when that window has a video ID (channel pages do not have one), so links go stale once a broadcast ends. That is expected.
