TikChat MultiChat brings live comments from TikTok, YouTube, Twitch and Kick into one private chat view for the creator. TikChat 1.1 also adds Chat Reader, which can read new comments aloud. You can open TikChat on a desktop, laptop, phone or tablet and keep using your usual broadcasting setup.
What does MultiChat show during a live stream?
Comments from connected channels appear in a shared feed, with platform icons so you can see where each message came from. If a question comes in on YouTube while you’re following TikTok LIVE, you can read it in the same window and see which audience asked it.
Each source has its own connection status. You can see which channels are connected, waiting for a live stream or reconnecting. When current viewer counts are available, TikChat shows a combined count and a breakdown by platform. If some sources are missing a current count, the total is marked as partial.

What’s available in TikChat 1.2
Use one saved channel per platform, with or without TikTok. The shared feed identifies each platform, and each source has its own connection status. Viewer Memory keeps names and highlights by platform without matching people across services. Chat Reader uses an available local browser voice to speak new text comments.
How to set up MultiChat
- Sign in to TikChat and save the channels you want to follow in your account settings.
- Start broadcasting on the platforms you plan to use.
- Open the TikChat operator view, select your live platforms and start the session. For YouTube, you can also provide the link to the specific live video.
- Check the status of each source. If you start broadcasting on another linked platform later, you can add it to the active TikChat session.
Use MultiChat on a computer, phone or tablet
MultiChat is available in the browser on desktops, laptops, phones and tablets. Keep it beside OBS or TikTok LIVE Studio on your computer, or use a second device for chat. If you stream from your phone, you can leave the broadcast there and follow the combined feed on a tablet.
Hear new comments with Chat Reader
Turn on Chat Reader in the chat panel to hear new comments while your attention is on the camera, game or presentation. It uses a local text-to-speech voice supplied by your browser and device. The available voices and languages depend on that setup.
Find a comment and recognize returning viewers
Search the captured conversation by username or words from a comment while the session is active. Saved names and highlights can help you recognize familiar viewers on future LIVE streams on the same platform. See how TikChat Viewer Memory works.
For an example of a second-screen setup, see the TikChat case study from a real TikTok LIVE. It documents a TikTok-only session with a phone for broadcasting and a separate tablet for chat.
Frequently asked questions
Can I read all four live chats in one window?
Yes. MultiChat can show comments from TikTok, YouTube, Twitch and Kick together when those sources are connected. You can also choose a single platform for a session.
Does TikChat broadcast to TikTok, YouTube, Twitch or Kick?
You start and manage the broadcast in your usual streaming app or on the platform itself. TikChat connects to the live chats and gives you a private place to follow the comments.
Can I use MultiChat and Chat Reader on my phone or tablet?
Yes. Open TikChat in your device’s browser. MultiChat shows your connected chats there, and Chat Reader can speak new comments when the browser supports speech synthesis and has a local voice available.
Why is the combined viewer count marked as partial?
At least one source is missing a current viewer count. The partial total adds only the counts TikChat currently has. It counts concurrent viewers across platforms, so the same person watching in two places can be counted twice.
Can MultiChat recover comments from before I connected?
Search covers the comments TikChat has captured during the active session, starting when each source connects. For example, if you add Twitch halfway through your session, search can find Twitch comments captured from that point onward.
