What is Stream Together?

Stream Together lets you collaborate with up to 5 other Streamers, and even Chatters while live and actually sort’ve offline as well, I used this a lot offline in testing. To get right into it, if you go to your Creator Dashboard, and click Stream Together, then click this Start button, it will open all your settings and controls, where you can invite people just as voice, or actually include their webcam as well, if they give permission and set it up like we will later.

Now the Streamer you invite, if they have Twitch open should receive a notification in the top right similar to a go live letting them accept, or if they don’t have it open, it will appear in their notification section next to messages.

What are Drop Ins?

These are essentially impromptu on the fly collabs, while streaming, you can check your follower list, or even just drop by another creators stream, and if they are allowing you to offer a collab, you can click Knock, they’ll get a private notification, and if they accept, you’ll both instantly be dropped in a call with just audio, but if you added the browser source I mentioned earlier, you’ll also get video inside OBS, of course again, if you and the other creator approve that and have it setup..

This of course is also done in reverse, you can set this up so only people you approve can “knock” on your stream, and you the streamer will receive a private notification.

How to turn off Stream Together and Drop-Ins?

Head to Stream Manager Dashboard, click add Panel, add a collaborations panel, and here you can set permissions and pause settings

For myself, by default, the permissions were set to Channels I follow, but I turned that off, and just selected favourites, then using this add favourites button I added 4 of my friends, giving them permission to knock or “ask to collaborate”, If I select “Favorites Only” and I didn’t add anyone to favourites, it means NOBODY could knock. I do wish that when they rolled this out by default it was “favourites only” and I have passed this on directly to Twitch, but it’s a fairly quick fix at least.

Also, if I don’t want my favourites to knock, I can pause for an hour, or just this stream, I would love it if there was a “Pause Until I turn back on” and have requested that from Twitch.

Can you now Simulcast or Multistream on Twitch?

Dan Clancy the CEO of Twitch announced in the Opening of Twitch Con, how Twitch will now allow anyone to go live on any platform at the same time as Twitch.

The style of this video is similar to Alpha Gaming and Gaming Careers in parts. A large influence on this series has come from content creators like Wild4games and Nutty.
