Collaborating with fellow streamers on Twitch just got easier with the launch of Streamlabs Shared Twitch Chat. This new feature is designed to merge chat feeds using Twitch’s Stream Together feature, to help simplify chat management going live with others.
What Is Streamlabs Shared Twitch Chat?
Previously known as Guest Star, Twitch’s Stream Together lets creators collaborate by streaming across multiple Twitch channels. Now, instead of the balancing act of managing separate chats, Streamlabs' Shared Twitch Chat allows streamers and moderators to focus on a single chat feed, an overall better experience for everyone involved.
Unified Viewer Experience: Viewers from all participating channels can chat in one place. Everyone is part of the same shared chat experience.
Simplified Moderation: With Streamlabs Shared Twitch Chat, all Mod Tools apply across the board. For example, if a comment is considered offensive on one channel, the same restrictions will apply to both channels, regardless of where it originated.
How to Enable Twitch Shared Chat in Streamlabs Desktop
When using Twitch’s Stream Together feature (which you can find more about in this blog post about streaming on Twitch with friends), you have the option to enable Shared Chat to help streamline the conversation.
Step 1: Start by launching the Stream Together feature from your Stream Manager on Twitch,.
Step 2: Next, fully configure your Stream Together live stream including settings and inviting your guests. When everything looks good, be sure to hit the Go Live button in Streamlabs Desktop.
Step 3: Once you’re live, you can launch the Shared Chat. To streamline the chat between you and your guest's channel, click the Start Sharing Chat button in the main Stream Together screen. Remember to make sure your guests join the shared chat on their end as well (they will be notified when they have the opportunity to do so).
You will now also see the Shared Chat in Streamlabs Desktop.
