What you get
You can keep Twitch streams and chat visible while using other apps.
Livestream gives you a dedicated way to watch Twitch on your Mac. You can follow several channels in a grid or keep a stream visible in a floating Picture-in-Picture window while you work. A transparent, click-through chat overlay lets you read live conversations over full-screen games or other apps without blocking your clicks.
You can pin your favorite creators, check who is live, and receive Mac notifications when they start streaming. When you want something different, you can browse trending channels or search by game. Switching between viewing and moderation accounts doesn't require logging out.
If you stream yourself, you can manage broadcasts, schedules, chat, and blocked users from the creator dashboard, with static and animated backgrounds available for your broadcasts. Core functionality is free; advanced features require a subscription or lifetime purchase.
