How Do I Start a Squad Stream on Twitch?

2. Simply select the Creator Dashboard option.
3. Select Stream Manager from the menu.
4. In the Quick Actions section, select the button labelled “Start Squad Stream.”
5. Select the Add a Channel option.

How Do You Use Squad Stream?
The Squad Stream feature of Twitch is a helpful tool that enables users to stream with up to three of their friends simultaneously. You won’t need to worry about configuring OBS to support many streamers because Twitch will take care of everything on the back end. Through the Stream Manager included in your Creator Dashboard, you can either invite your friends or accept an invite to somebody else’s stream in order to begin the process of setting up a Squad Stream.
When you click the Start Squad Stream button in your Stream Manager, a banner will be added to the channel page of each individual broadcaster. When a spectator clicks the banner, they are given the opportunity to watch all of your streams in squad mode simultaneously. This option places video from all of the team streamers onto the screen at the same time, with one video taking up a bigger portion of the screen than the others.
In the event that one of the squad streamers exits the stream while it is being broadcast, their viewers will continue to watch the live in squad mode. If you are the leader of the group, you even have the ability to quit the mission in the middle of it. In such situation, the channel that you invited first will take over as the leader of the group.
