How Can I Set Up My Screen(s) To Watch Multiple Rooms Easily?

To make the most out of Stream Open, it’s important to have an optimized screen setup that enhances your browsing and viewing experience. Whether you’re working with a single monitor or multiple screens, setting up your workspace efficiently allows you to manage multiple rooms effortlessly and enjoy a seamless experience.

Using Windows' Snap feature to dock windows

Windows provides a built-in docking feature called Snap. It makes it easy to divide your screen into multiple sections, perfect for monitoring several rooms simultaneously. This capability lets you organize your windows without the need for additional software, making it a simple yet powerful tool.

Docking Overview: To access the snap menu, just hover your mouse over the maximize button of any window, on the title bar. Alternatively, you may drag a window to the top edge of the screen and access a similar menu.

Note: Alternatively you might check the FancyZones utility that comes with Microsoft PowerToys, giving you the ability to define your own custom zones.

Screen Configurations

Main Monitor Setup:

If you’re using a single monitor, it’s crucial to make the most of your available space. A typical configuration might include:

One section for the Chaturbate browsing window where you can drag rooms into Stream Open.
The remaining space for the live streams you’re watching.
Stream Open is always on top and there is no need to dock it. You may drag it around from the title bar or the username and place it in a convenient place. You may drag a room from your Chaturbate window, even if it's behind and never lose sight of the app.

here's how a two and three rooms config look like with Stream Open.
