What do you need to use MultiViewer?
MultiViewer is available for various platforms and racing series, which can be confusing—so let's clarify what you need.
MultiViewer itself is free (its development is supported by donations), but you may need a subscription to the streaming service you want to use with it. MultiViewer is not affiliated with any of the services listed below, and we don't provide any of the content. It's a community-built, unofficial tool to help you watch motorsport content. We are not responsible for any subscription-related issues, and we don't provide support for those. If you have problems with your subscription, please contact the service provider directly.
General Requirements
MultiViewer is currently only available on desktop computers. Supported operating systems:
- Windows 10 or later (64-bit only; ARM not supported)
- macOS 11 (Big Sur) or later (Intel and Apple Silicon)
- Linux (doesn't support ARM/Raspberry Pi)
Running live timing and multiple video streams may require significant CPU and GPU power. Low-powered machines may be able to run MultiViewer, but not smoothly. Even some high-end GPUs may struggle with multiple streams.
