Night edition (decided on page 1). Navigation is still being decided on page 2; Multi-view opens from the Live screen in every layout.
Watch up to four live streams at once, inside Heist Hub, all playing side by side in Twitch’s own player, with sound on the one you choose. Three ways to arrange it. Each option shows the full idea on an iPad held sideways (four playing in a 2 × 2 grid; a computer looks the same), then how it fits an iPhone 15 held sideways. In every window the fingertip runs the same story: from Live, tap Multi-view, add streams one by one, switch which one you hear, swap one in from the live pictures, then close.
These windows are big (an iPad is 1180 wide). Turn your phone sideways, or open this page on an iPad or computer, to read them comfortably.
The rules every option follows
Twitch’s minimum sizeEvery Twitch player is at least 400 × 300 points, and only Twitch’s own controls sit on it. Our buttons, names and messages go around the players, never on top. (YouTube players: at least 200 × 200.)
How many play at onceiPad and computer: 4 (2 × 2). iPhone 15 sideways: 852 wide, but only about 734 inside the safe areas, so 1 full-size player plus live pictures. iPhone Pro Max sideways: 2. iPhone upright: 393 wide, under 400, so streams open in a full-screen sideways player inside Heist Hub.
Live picturesStreams that don’t fit as players show as live pictures: Twitch’s preview image, refreshed every minute. They are not players. Tap one to swap it into a player.
Sound on one at a timeEvery player starts muted. The one you choose is unmuted through the Twitch player’s own JS API (setMuted). Tap its name, button or card, never the video itself.
By device (the same in every option)
iPhone upright: a full-screen sideways player, inside Heist HubUpright, an iPhone is 393 points wide, under Twitch’s 400. So Multi-view, and any single stream, opens full screen sideways inside our app, in Twitch’s own player. “Open in Twitch” is only a small link. This also changes the stream sheet on pages 1 and 2:upright, it shows the live picture with a big Watch button that opens the sideways player, never a squeezed player.
iPhone Pro Max sideways: 2 playing932 wide, about 814 inside the safe areas: two players at 400 × 300, side by side, each with its name strip. The rest wait as live pictures underneath. Tap a name to hear that one.
