Tandem

Tandem is an OBS Studio plugin that streams the same program to Twitch, Kick and YouTube at once (or any subset), from a single encode, and merges their chats into one dock with an optional on-stream overlay.

Features

• Extra streaming targets next to OBS's own stream: Twitch, Kick, YouTube presets, plus any RTMP/RTMPS, SRT/RIST or WHIP server.
• Shared encoder by default, so each extra platform adds almost no CPU/GPU load.
• Per-target opt-in ("go live with OBS"), live status, dropped frames, upload estimate.
• Reconnect handling that follows OBS's settings and stops endless connect-and-drop loops.
• Stream keys and API keys in Windows Credential Manager.
• Unified, read-only chat dock for Twitch, Kick and YouTube.
• Optional chat overlay for a Browser Source, local to your computer.
• No accounts, no cloud services, no telemetry.
