How to Stream on Multiple Devices Simultaneously

Multi-Device Streaming for the Whole Family

One of the biggest advantages of streaming over cable is the ability to watch different content on different devices simultaneously. Viewer World supports up to five devices per subscription, giving every household member their own viewing experience.

Setting Up Multiple Devices

Each device needs its own streaming player app installed. Download the app on each device, enter the same Viewer World credentials, and customize the channel list and favorites for each viewer. Everyone gets their own personalized experience.

Bandwidth Requirements

Each simultaneous stream requires its own bandwidth. One HD stream needs about ten Mbps. Two streams need twenty Mbps. Three streams need thirty Mbps. Four streams need forty Mbps. Five streams need fifty Mbps. Make sure your internet plan supports your household's viewing habits.

Best Devices for Multi-Stream

• Living room: Smart TV or streaming box for the main viewing area
• Bedroom: Firestick or Apple TV for personal viewing
• Kitchen: Tablet for cooking shows and news
• Office: Laptop or desktop for background news
• Kids room: Tablet with parental controls enabled

Tips for Smooth Multi-Device Streaming

Use a router with strong multi-device support. Consider a mesh Wi-Fi system for homes with many devices. Assign priority to streaming devices in your router settings. Use five GHz Wi-Fi for devices close to the router and 2.4 GHz for devices further away.

Viewer World Multi-Device Plans

Viewer World offers flexible multi-device plans. Start with one device and add more as needed. Each additional device costs a small fraction of the base plan price.
