Thanks man. My 69 year old mom just started streaming world of warcraft and did it all her own. So proud. She wants me to stream too with her as a guest. I've never streamed before but this will help us. ❤
Thanks for this! I am going to try Twitch's "Stream Together" feature for the first time on NYE. Your video came up as one of the first videos on my search on UA-cam.
So, I had to do a little bit of research on this question before I answered it. You cannot host a Stream Together session from CURRENTLY. It's still in beta so they haven't added that option yet. Now, can you JOIN someone's Stream Together session from your PS5? I don't know lol. But, I believe you can. The requirement is to have a Twitch account, which you have already. So essentially, if someone is hosting a session and sends you an invite, you should be able to join them. I would assume though that you would not have control over things like your camera and microphone in the session, so keep that in mind. Try it out and let me know what happens!
Can you still do this if you and the person you want to stream with don’t have or want to use a camera or a microphone? My sibling and I are new to streaming and not totally comfortable using a camera or a microphone yet.
Yes you can, but the point of stream together is to collab with another person meaning the audience will either hear you or see you interact with someone else. Otherwise, they can just type in the chat lol. I hope that helps!
Thanks for the great video 👏 Couple of questions. My friend and I want to back-to-back DJ on Twitch together. Do I use the OBS virtual camera or add a browser source to OBS? Regarding audio, I’m DJ’ing through monitor speakers on my desktop. How do I listen to his audio without feedback? Will that be coming through my speakers also? Hope that’s clear! Thanks again. 👍
Hey! Alright, so I want to make sure I understand. You want to DJ side-by-side with your friend. Do you need to use the virtual camera? Yes. That's how the audience will see what you see in OBS. The browser source is for your friend. Bring them onto your OBS and you can set them up next to you. Remember, the audience can only hear them when the eye is open on the source. Now, If you want to add a little razzle dazzle, when your friend connects through the browser source, tell them to setup their green screen behind them, if they have one, but don't turn on the chroma key. You will place a chroma key on the source from your end in OBS and then you will really be in the same room, visually. Second question, the only way to listen to stream audio without feedback is to listen to the stream through headphones. You can also mute your mic whenever they speak but that gets old pretty quick lol. I hope this helps! Please update me.
Incredibly informative video! Thank you so much for taking the time to create this. I have a question that I haven’t found an answer for yet. Can a guest also stream and invite you to guest on their stream at the same time? Meaning both channels are live at the same time hosting each other.
Thank you! So glad I could help you! As far as your question, I found this AFTER I made the video but Twitch has a Stream Together GUEST Guide and they "say" that you can do exactly what you're asking. I have plans to test it in the next week or so, but until then, here's the link: help.twitch.tv/s/article/stream-together-guest-guide?language=en_US
Last year I said I wish I could figure out how to stream WITH a friend or hubby and you could see both gameplays and now look Voila! I attempted it last night, a little confusing but I have try again. My big struggle is - is having OBS (type) required? Bc I already am struggling with setting up obs with capture card and crap ON a mac 😓
I'm very happy I was able to be helpful! Stream Together works BEST or EASIEST with OBS, but you can use it with StreamLABs. There are videos that explain how to use a CAPTURE CARD with OBS, and then Stream Together is a simple Browser Source. Take your time. You got this!
Hey! Thanks for watching the video. The key thing about this is that you start streaming from your broadcasting software. So once you click start streaming in OBS or Streamlabs, then you're on. Remember this is to connect two separate streams together, so that means adding the browser source to your broadcasting software and setting up the visuals for the stream.
I have a predicament which I can't seem to figure out. During my live streams, using OBS, I'm getting feedback loop on twitch live video. I have my friend with whom I'm using 'stream together' function on twitch. I say 'hi' and then my friend hears is a bit later. I'm aware some delay is natural on twitch (couple of seconds). Then my friend hears himself talking with a continuous echoes. Alas, how does one stream on OBS to twitch, have a friend join the live and not get an echoes or feedback delay which stacks. Even though we are in the same 'stream lobby', he is watching from my page (live stream), naturally. Otherwise he couldn't see my live gameplay. I want real time audio as if we were in discord, whilst he is viewing my live stream. Thanks for taking the time to read and assist me. All the best, M
Alright so I believe the issue is in a few settings. If you go into the microphone settings uncheck Noise Suppression and Echo Cancellation because it sounds like you're using hi quality microphones. Second, you have to use the virtual camera so that he can see your gameplay. If there's a delay, it's because your friend is trying to watch the stream instead of listening to the audio from you in Stream Together. Your friend also shouldn't be hearing himself talking. The only way that happens is if you have the stream unmuted on another tab, which is unnecessary. Check these settings, test it, then reach back out to me and let me know if that fixed it. I hope this helps!
@@Lameipadgirl Don't worry! I'm here to help lol. The only thing you need to remember is that it uses a browser source to work. Copy your browser source url from Stream Together and paste it into a new browser source in whatever scene you want it to be in. The same goes for your friend. Same process.
Everyone in this goes live individually right? For our DnD stream we use discord so we really don’t need the browser source. I’m just trying to get shared engagement with the two of us who do stream. I tried it once so far but I don’t know if it worked because I thought chat would have been merged.
If you are in stream together, you will see the hosts chat. Mr. Clancy just discussed a new collaboration tool he called "Drop-ins" that would merge the chats, but it's not out yet. You have a choice to go live individually or the host would go live and if your guests checked the box before entering the session, their audience would get a notification that they've gone live with the host.
@@techsupportnextdoor thanks. I’ll need to look for a place to give feedback because it would be nice if the backstage or stream manager had a little more feedback to let us know if it’s working. I think this will be a great tool for all collab streamers.
hey @techsupportnextdoor ! thank you so much for your video! I do have one thing I'm still confused about... no matter who the host is or the guest, do all parties share viewers or do they all go to the host? I have a friend trying to help me grow my channel but I can't seem to find the answer to that question. Thanks for your time!
Heyhey! If you are both streaming you are only able to combine the chats, NOT the viewers. Your viewer count will be separate from your guest or vice versa. I hope this helps! Thanks for the question ❤️
Sorry for the delay in responding to your comment. I missed it, no excuse. I have noticed this and the question is if the elgato stream deck sound is routed to your main audio or a separate channel. Virtual Camera shares your main screen that everyone sees, but it doesn't share your audio. So, check and see if the audio is desktop audio capture and how it's routed on the stream deck. I think the stream deck audio is desktop audio. If that's the case, your guest won't hear it. The same thing happens in Streamyard. Let me know if this helps!
@@techsupportnextdoor back with another question. How do i get the guest to hear my audio ? I used the feature yesterday but couldnt figure it out so they had to listen to the stream to hear what i was saying, but that resulted in delays so the conversation couldnt flow. I tried enabling my mic backstage so they could here but that did nothing. any ideas?
That's a very broad question 😀 If you are the host, you will use your broadcasting software (i.e. OBS or Streamlabs) and Start Streaming. If you are a guest, you will go into the hosts Steaming Together session from the link they send you.
Hey! I just want to be clear about what you're asking. In this scenario, you and a friend are gaming correct? Different games I assume? And you want him to share his screen while you both play different games? Yes, you can do that. Twitch offers a separate Screen Share Browser Source and all the guest has to do is click "share screen" and if you have the browser source added to your broadcasting software, you will see it just like you see them in another window. I hope this helps!
@@lux_satani from what I understand, at this moment, Stream Together does not work from the console unfortunately. But, they are committed to making this option as accessible as possible.
Thanks man. My 69 year old mom just started streaming world of warcraft and did it all her own. So proud. She wants me to stream too with her as a guest. I've never streamed before but this will help us. ❤
Let me know when that happens! I'd like to support if I can.
Thank you for this! I was so confused how to make this work. Excited to finally stream with my best friend with clear audio and video!!
I'm happy to be able to help! I'm going to update this video because Twitch has made a few updates to the service. Stay tuned!
Thanks for this! I am going to try Twitch's "Stream Together" feature for the first time on NYE. Your video came up as one of the first videos on my search on UA-cam.

Honestly, this is one of the most straightforward videos I've seen about Twitch I definitely had to hit that subscribe appreciate the help🙌🙌
