YouTube + Kick chat in one StreamBuddy feed

Streaming on YouTube and Kick splits your community across two live chats. StreamBuddy keeps setup simple: connect your accounts, go live, read both chats in one multichat-focused workspace, keep platform labels visible, and remember the viewers who keep showing up.

How StreamBuddy helps

One combined feed
Bring messages from connected streaming platforms into one private multichat workspace.
Viewer context
Open viewer profiles, notes, tags, and returning-viewer history without leaving the chat workflow.
OBS-friendly surfaces
Use private dock/popout workflows for yourself and display-only browser-source overlays for viewers inside OBS or Streamlabs.
Private by default
Streamer-only notes, tags, summaries, and profile context stay out of public overlay surfaces.

Why this setup gets messy

YouTube Live chat often carries longer questions while Kick chat can move quickly with regulars and supporters. If you keep both windows open separately, one audience is easy to miss.

Easy setup for multichat streams

StreamBuddy is built for streamers who want less technical setup. Connect your streaming accounts, go live, and keep YouTube and Kick chat together without rebuilding the rest of your stream system.

What StreamBuddy adds

Connect the channels you stream to, read the combined multichat feed, and open viewer context when a name matters. The point is not just merging messages; it is knowing who is behind them.

What to know

StreamBuddy is focused on multichat, viewer context, and OBS-friendly chat surfaces. Sending and moderation workflows follow the capabilities StreamBuddy supports for each connected platform.

subscriberM:Twelve months subbed and still here for every "five minute fix" that becomes a whole segment.

Regular

:Chat memory calling me a regular last stream was painfully accurate.

:Usually lurking while I edit, but those orange keycaps absolutely saved the board.
