Stream Gazer

Multi-stream monitoring

Every feed.
One screen.

Stream Gazer is focused on one practical goal: helping creators and moderators see the streams they care about without constantly switching tabs, windows, or devices.

We build focused monitoring tools that keep video, stream status, and the information needed to react visible together. Use our hosted catalog or bring your own—the viewing experience stays yours.

Why it exists

What is Stream Gazer?

Stream Gazer is built for creators and their moderators to monitor the quality of their own streams across multiple feeds and resolutions—all at once.

First-person view of a streamer setup with several chat messages reporting muted audio on the 720p stream
“Chat keeps saying I’m muted on 720p… Are they trolling me again?”
“Is 1080p fine—or is that feed broken too?”
“I need every feed and quality visible on one screen.”

The solution

How did we solve it?

We built Stream Gazer for the screens you already use—from the phone beside your keyboard to the TV across the room.

Grid View

Equal attention across every stream.

Keep every feed at a consistent size for side-by-side monitoring. Statistics appear over each stream, so status and performance remain visible without changing screens.

Gallery View

One primary feed, the rest still in sight.

Give the stream that needs attention more space while keeping the remaining feeds visible alongside it. The same in-view statistics stay available at a glance.

Your catalog, your choice

A setup that fits your workflow.

Cloud Hosted Catalog

Subscribers can manage their Stream Gazer catalog through streamgazer.app and connect it to a bound device.

Create an account

Self-hosted catalog.json

Prefer to host it yourself? Publish a static catalog.json file and open its URL directly in Stream Gazer. Self-hosted catalogs never require a subscription.

See the catalog.json format

Self-hosted catalog.json

Host your own static stream catalog.

A catalog.json file tells Stream Gazer which titles, images, qualities, and HLS stream URLs to display.

Publish it at a public HTTPS URL, then paste that URL into the app. Self-hosted catalogs never require a subscription.

demo3 catalog example

This complete item comes from our live demo3 catalog. The root value is a JSON array, and each item contains one title and its available stream qualities.

Try it without subscribing. Stream Gazer downloads with demo2 prefilled and ready to play. Change demo2 to demo3 in the catalog URL, then press Play to see this catalog in action.

FAQ

A few useful answers.

What does Stream Gazer do?

It displays several live streams on one screen in either Grid or Gallery layout, with stream information kept directly in view.

Do I need a subscription?

No. A self-hosted static catalog.json works without a subscription. A subscription adds the Cloud Hosted Catalog, which you manage through the streamgazer.app website.

Can I use one subscription on multiple devices?

Yes. One subscription covers all of your Stream Gazer devices within the same platform family. An Apple subscription can be used on your iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, and Mac; a Google Play subscription can be used on your Android phones, Android tablets, Google TV, and Android TV devices; and a Microsoft Store subscription can be used on your Windows devices. Subscriptions do not transfer between platform families, so Apple, Google, and Microsoft each require a separate subscription.

Which platforms are supported?

Stream Gazer is available for tvOS, iPadOS, iOS, macOS, Android phones, Android tablets, Google TV and Android TV devices, and Windows.

What is the difference between Grid and Gallery?

Grid gives every stream equal space. Gallery makes one stream primary while keeping the remaining streams visible nearby.

What is a catalog.json file?

It is a list of stream titles, channel images, quality labels, and HLS URLs. You can host it yourself and open its HTTPS URL directly in Stream Gazer.
