In order to be able to use SharePlay with Twitch, it is necessary that all parties involved in a FaceTime call also have Twitch installed and are logged in with a user account. During a FaceTime conversation, a stream can then be opened in the Twitch app, and FaceTime will ask if you want to share the stream with everyone in FaceTime. If you answered yes, Twitch will open the broadcast on all FaceTime call devices. While a SharePlay broadcast on Twitch, participants can chat, follow, subscribe or cheer with Bits on Twitch with their separate accounts.

Finally, it’s important to know: SharePlay for Twitch is limited to iOS devices with at least iOS 15.1 or iPadOS 15.1. There is currently no integration with Twitch’s Apple TV app.
