** Multi Stream
- The button will show next to the stream uptime under the stream.
- Clicking it will start Multi Stream on a new Twitch tab - so you can still enjoy the benefits of the sidebar and the search function at the top bar.
- In the new Multi-Stream tab, add a stream from the sidebar or search for a stream at the top Twitch search bar and click the Multi-Stream button in the results to add the stream.
- You can drag and resize the stream boxes (top bar and bottom right corner of the boxes).
- You can also add Multi-Stream on the fly to any page you are currently on directly from the sidebar (if in Video Preview mode) or via the top search bar (if the Multi-Stream feature is enabled).

- It also works when chat is closed and when the tab or window is in the background.

** Auto refresh when the main twitch player gets an error (#1000, #2000, #4000)
- This feature works when the tab with the player that got an error is currently active.
- If the player got an error while the tab was not active (in the background or the browser wasn't the active window) the page will automatically refresh when you come back to it.

- Works on twitch tabs in the browser.
- When enabling the feature, you will need to allow notification permissions for twitch.tv (a prompt will show - if not, click on the lock icon on the left of the url and check if it's allowed there).


** Predictions sniper
- The predictions sniper will participate in predictions for you.
- Works on twitch tabs in the browser.
- The sniper will choose the prediction option with the most amount of votes received at the time of entry (x seconds before prediction closes).
- If you have your chat open (no need), you will see the prediction menu for a split second when the sniper is entering a prediction.
- You can enable the 'Predictions notifications' feature if you want to know what's happening in real-time.
- If there is already a bet made on the prediction, the sniper will not add more points.
- To change Sniper settings for individual streams, click the Sniper settings button under the chat.
-- Default Settings:
- Bet % - the percentage of channel points you want the sniper to bet.
- Max num of points - the maximum amount of points the sniper is allowed to vote with.
- Min vote margin % - a percentage representation of the minimum required vote margin between the two prediction options for the sniper to participate.
-- For example: option A- 100 votes, option B- 115 votes, vote spread: A-46.51% B-53.49%, vote margin: 6.98% (53.49% - 46.51%). if the minimum vote margin is lower than 6.98%, the sniper will participate in the prediction.
- Seconds - the amount of seconds the sniper will make a prediction before the prediction closes (min 2s).
- Remember that this is a statistical tool and wins are not guaranteed.
