What problems can you face with a single monitor?
Streamers use a multi-monitor depending on their streaming requirements. They have to check the status for streaming and check out the chatbox. The display source will display all the information that viewers want to see.
The streaming application contains all the necessary descriptions that may get leaked by mistake. If you have more than one monitor you can easily change the settings as per your choice.
However, even with one monitor streamers can still see what the viewers are writing in the chatbox.
Using a single monitor can be tough as you won’t be able to see the chat as well as streaming options on it fully.
Usually, it takes half of the screen and you cannot look into it while streaming in front of your viewers.
When you have more than one monitor it will allow you to stream in one while checking out the comments on the other one.
