How to Watch Multiple Kick Streams at Once

You can watch multiple Kick streams at once by using a multi-stream viewer. A tool like ViewGrid lets you open a single browser window, paste in the links to the Kick channels you want, and arrange them all in a grid. It's free and you don't need an account to get started.

This approach is helpful when several streamers you follow go live at the same time, or when you want to see an event from different points of view. Instead of managing multiple browser tabs and trying to switch between them, you can see everything on one screen.

Why Watch More Than One Stream?

While you can only listen to one stream at a time, seeing several at once has some practical advantages.

For competitive gaming events, you can watch the main tournament broadcast alongside the individual streams of your favorite players. This gives you the official commentary plus a player’s personal reactions and communication.

Many streamers also do collaborations. When a group is playing together, watching all their perspectives at once gives you the full picture. You can see what's happening on everyone's screen, not just the person who is currently talking.

It’s also useful for just keeping up. If you follow a group of creators who often stream together, you can put them all in a grid and just have it running. You can switch your audio to whoever is doing something interesting at the moment.

How to Watch Multiple Kick Streams Step-by-Step

Setting up a grid of Kick streams is straightforward. You just need the links to the channels you want to watch.

1. Open the Viewer
2. Go to the ViewGrid multi-stream viewer in your web browser. You’ll see a blank grid with input boxes ready for your streams.

1. Add Your Kick Streams
2. Find the Kick channel you want to watch. Copy the URL from your browser’s address bar (it will look like kick.com/channelname). Paste this link into one of the input boxes on ViewGrid and press Enter. The stream will load directly into that panel. Repeat this for each Kick stream you want to add.

1. Choose Your Layout
2. As you add streams, they will automatically arrange themselves on the screen. You can change this arrangement using the layout controls. On a desktop computer, you can choose layouts that support up to 20 streams. On a mobile phone, the layouts go up to 6 streams to better fit the smaller screen.

1. Control the Audio
2. To prevent a mess of overlapping sound, every stream you add starts muted. You’ll see a speaker icon on each video player. Click the icon on the one stream you want to listen to. When you want to switch, just click the mute icon on the current stream and the unmute icon on the new one. You can only have one stream's audio active at a time.

1. Open the Chat
2. If you want to follow the conversation, you can open the live chat for any of the streams. Look for a chat icon next to the video grid. Clicking it will open a side panel where you can select which stream's chat you want to see. This works for Kick, Twitch, and YouTube streams.

Getting More Out of Your Grid

Once you have your streams set up, there are a few other things you can do.

Focus on a Single Stream
If one stream gets particularly interesting, you can click on it to make it the main, larger video, with the others arranged as smaller thumbnails. Click it again to return to the balanced grid view. You can also use the standard fullscreen button on the video player to make a single stream take over your entire screen.

Share Your Layout
The URL in your browser's address bar updates automatically as you add or remove streams. This means you can share your exact layout with someone just by copying and pasting the link. When they open it, they will see the same streams in the same arrangement you created.

Save Layouts for Later
If you find yourself watching the same combination of streamers often, you can save the layout. This requires signing up for a free ViewGrid account. Once you're signed in, you can save your current grid and give it a name, so you can open it again later with a single click.

Watching on Different Devices

ViewGrid is designed to work in a web browser, so you can use it on most devices.

Desktop: This is the most common way to use it. A larger monitor gives you more space to see each stream clearly, especially if you have a grid of 4, 8, or more streams.
Mobile: You can use ViewGrid on your phone or tablet by going to the website in your mobile browser. There are also ViewGrid apps for iOS and Android that provide the same function. As mentioned, the number of simultaneous streams is lower on mobile to fit the screen.
* TV: To get your grid onto a television, you have a few options. If your TV has a built-in web browser, you can navigate to the ViewGrid website directly. Alternatively, you can connect a laptop to your TV with an HDMI cable and display your computer screen. Screen mirroring or casting your entire browser tab from a computer or phone can also work, depending on your device's capabilities.

A Few Things to Keep in Mind

Watching multiple video streams at once requires a bit more from your computer and internet connection than watching a single stream.

First, your internet connection needs to be able to handle the bandwidth. Each stream you add is another video feed your network has to download. If you notice streams are buffering or low quality, you may have too many open for your current connection speed. Try removing a few to see if performance improves.

Second, your computer’s processor is doing the work of decoding all those videos. Older computers might struggle with a large number of high-definition streams. If your computer’s fan starts spinning loudly or the browser becomes unresponsive, you might be pushing its limits.

It's also important to know that ViewGrid uses the official embedded player from each platform. It doesn't re-stream or host any video content itself. This keeps the experience the same as watching on the source platform, and each platform's own ads and view-counting rules apply.

Combining Kick with Other Platforms

Your grid isn't limited to just one platform. You can combine Kick streams with live streams and videos from YouTube, Twitch, and Rumble. This is especially useful for major online events that are covered by creators on different sites. For example, during a big game launch, you could have a Kick streamer, a Twitch streamer, and a YouTube reviewer all in one grid.

For larger scheduled events, you can check the Events calendar, which often has pre-made grids for things like gaming tournaments or product announcements, pulling in feeds from every platform covering it.
