What is a multiview?

A multiview plays several videos and live streams side by side on one screen. With YouTube and Twitch in the same grid, you can watch an event's official broadcast on one site next to a streamer's co-stream on the other, follow a game's trailer beside a live playthrough, or keep a music video running next to a stream.

Tool description

Paste YouTube and Twitch links into the box, one per line and in any mix, and they appear together in a grid under it. YouTube watch links, youtu.be short links, Shorts, live and embed links work. So do Twitch channel links, which play the live stream, and links to Twitch past broadcasts and uploads. The buttons under the grid play, pause or mute everything at once, and each video keeps its own player controls. Leave the columns on Auto or pick a number, drag the lines between videos to make some of them bigger, drag a video's handle onto another video to swap them, and drag the grid's bottom edge to make it taller or shorter. Full screen fills your whole screen with the grid.

Features

  • YouTube videos and Twitch streams side by side in one grid
  • Play all, Pause all and Mute all buttons for everything at once
  • Videos keep playing while you add, remove or swap links

Tips

  • Paste whole links. A plain video ID or channel name could belong to either site, so it's left out, as is any line that isn't a YouTube or Twitch link. A note under the grid gives the line numbers.
  • Twitch sometimes refuses to start a stream from Play all, most often a small or hidden one. The note under the grid counts these streams. Click a stream to start it.
  • A YouTube video can't play here when it's private, removed or its owner doesn't allow it on other websites. Twitch clips aren't supported, because their player can't be played or paused from the page.
  • Swapping two videos also swaps their lines in the box, so the list always matches the grid.
  • Double-click a line between videos to make the columns or rows even again. Double-click the grid's bottom edge to bring back its starting height. The lines and the edge also move with the arrow keys once selected with Tab.
