MultiChat

StreamNook gives you two ways to follow more than one chat: the chat panel inside the MultiNook grid, and a dedicated MultiChat window that shows chats as tabs or side-by-side columns.

Chat in the grid

While you are in the grid, the chat panel follows whichever tile is focused, so the chat always matches the stream you are listening to.

• Lock the chat to a specific channel with the chat switcher buttons above chat, instead of following focus. Each button switches chat to that channel.
• Hide chat entirely with the chat toggle in the toolbar for a full-width grid. This choice is remembered between sessions.
• Mod log: the mod view toggle shows a moderation feed covering every channel on screen. See Moderation.

The in-grid chat has the full chat feature set: emotes, replies, pins, the emote picker, profile cards, badges, and moderator tools.

The MultiChat window

Pop chat out into its own window to read several at once. Open it by right-clicking a channel and choosing Pop out chat, or type /popup (optionally with a channel name) in any chat box.

There is one MultiChat window. Opening it again focuses the existing window and adds the channel as another tab, so all your popped-out chats live together.

Layouts

Pick how the window shows its channels with the layout buttons in the title bar:

• Tabs: one chat at a time, switch with the tabs.
• 2, 3, or 4 columns: that many chats side by side. The window widens to fit. Channels beyond the visible columns stay connected and are one click away.

Your layout choice is saved.

Adding and removing channels

• Add: click the + at the end of the tabs, then pick a live followed channel, search Twitch, or type any channel name and press Enter.
• Remove: click the X on a tab, right-click the tab and close it, or press Ctrl+W on the active tab.
• Reorder: drag tabs left or right.

A tab you are not viewing shows a badge when you are mentioned in that channel, and the badge clears when you switch to it.

Keyboard shortcuts

Per-channel info and parity

Each chat in the window shows that stream's live title, viewer count, game, and uptime, refreshed while the window is visible. Every chat has the full feature set: emotes, replies, pins, the emote picker, profile cards, badges, autocomplete, custom commands, and your highlight settings.

Moderator log

The window has its own moderator log dock. Toggle it from the shield button in the title bar and drag its top edge to resize it. This toggle is specific to the window and does not change the main app.

Chat settings

The gear button in the title bar opens a chat-focused settings panel (chat design, custom commands, per-user overrides, highlights, and color overrides). Player, theme, and drops settings live in the main app's Settings.

What is remembered

The window remembers its channels, layout, tab order, and mod-log size and visibility, and restores them next time you open it.
