The maximum number of people who can stream at once depends on the platform you’re using. Here’s a general breakdown for some popular platforms:
1. Twitch: Twitch doesn’t have a specific “maximum” number of streamers, but it supports millions of viewers simultaneously. Each individual stream can have one host, but many streamers can broadcast at the same time.
2. YouTube Live: YouTube also doesn’t have a strict limit on how many live streams can occur simultaneously, but there is a limit to the number of concurrent viewers a channel can handle (which is in the millions).
3. Facebook Live: Like other platforms, Facebook doesn’t impose a limit on how many people can stream at once, but each stream can have one broadcaster.
4. Zoom: In Zoom meetings, the number of participants can vary depending on the plan. For example, with the highest-tier plans, up to 1,000 participants can be in a meeting, with 49 participants visible at once.
5. Twitch or YouTube Multi-Streaming: If you’re asking about a “multi-stream” where multiple people are broadcasting on the same channel (e.g., through a service like StreamYard or Restream), the number of people involved is often limited to a few participants on-screen at once, usually up to 10-12 for platforms like Restream.
So, the limit on how many people can stream at the same time depends on the platform and whether you’re talking about viewers or streamers. For streamers, it usually comes down to the software or platform configuration.
