Share One Host with Multiple People
Play together remotely, watch remotely, or help remotely—share one host with up to 4 clients.
TL;DR
The key for multiple viewers is bandwidth: each additional person means one more video stream.
Recommended Ways to Play
- Friends watch while you control (most stable)
- Take turns controlling (great for demos)
- Remote troubleshooting (screen share + voice chat)
Notes
- Use wired Ethernet on the host; router quality matters a lot
- Start from 720p for multi-user mode and scale up
- If one person stutters, it’s often their network, not the host
How to Estimate Bandwidth
A rough estimate is “single-user bitrate × concurrent users” for required host upload bandwidth. For example:
| Quality | Per-user Bitrate | 2 users | 4 users |
|---|---|---|---|
| 720p/60 | 8–12 Mbps | 16–24 Mbps | 32–48 Mbps |
| 1080p/60 | 12–20 Mbps | 24–40 Mbps | 48–80 Mbps |
If host upload is limited, reduce bitrate/resolution first instead of chasing high FPS.
Controllers & Voice
- For local co-op games: plug controllers into the host, and let remote users mostly watch
- If remote users need to play: use Bluetooth controllers and ensure the browser supports gamepad input
- Voice chat: use Discord/QQ voice to reduce “latency illusion”
