Apple’s new SharePlay feature has been added to Twitch, the popular live-streaming program. SharePlay now allows you to watch your favorite streamer with up to 31 of your friends over FaceTime, making it even more fun.
As announced earlier this week, Twitch has partnered up with Apple to improve the viewing experience on the platform. On a FaceTime call, users will now be able to share the Twitch stream they’re watching with the rest of the group.

On FaceTime, you’ll be asked if you want to broadcast your new Twitch broadcast to the whole call when you start a new one. Everyone on the call will be able to witness the same activities at the same time if the feed is shared with everyone. If you want to watch a stream using SharePlay, you’ll all need to log into your respective Twitch accounts. When it comes to commenting, subscribing, and engaging with the broadcast, everyone will be regarded as an individual viewer.
Any caller who is watching a Twitch feed using SharePlay can switch to a different broadcaster at any point throughout the conversation. While streaming or making a FaceTime call, SharePlay sessions are automatically terminated.
In collaboration with Apple, Twitch has developed an exciting new feature. For the first time, people may watch content together without needing to be in the same place. It’s a great way for friends to view videos together, no matter where they are in the world.

Twitch and Apple have come up with a pretty intriguing new function. People may enjoy material together without having to be in the same physical location thanks to SharePlay. It’s a great way for friends to view videos together, no matter where they are in the world.
With iOS 15, iPadOS 15, macOS Monterey, and tvOS 15, Apple introduced its latest FaceTime feature, SharePlay. FaceTime allows people to stream movies, TV episodes, games, workouts, and other activities in real-time to their friends.
What is possible during Apple Shareplay Session?
In an Apple Shareplay session, everyone participating in the FaceTime discussion has the ability to pause, resume, or skip forward in the playback of synchronized media. You may continue your FaceTime conversation even if there is a very loud scene or climactic chorus playing because the streaming video’s audio quickly decreases when you talk.
In order to continue a conversation without interruption, users can simply hit the Messages button in the FaceTime UI to access a shared thread.
SharePlay participants stream high-quality music and video directly from the applicable app on each participant’s smartphone. It is possible to watch a shared television or movie on the big screen while still using FaceTime with your pals.
When iOS 15 was initially released, SharePlay was not available, but it is now available for all apps to use.
