Watching long gaming tournaments, esports broadcasts, or favorite Twitch streamers on a big PC monitor while lounging across the room is one of the best entertainment experiences.
However, Twitch streams have notorious volume inconsistencies: an intro shout, sudden raid, or loud gameplay explosion can instantly blast your speakers, forcing you to jump out of bed or stop what you're doing just to lower the sound.
In this guide, we explore the best ways to control Twitch stream playback and volume on your PC directly from your smartphone.
The Dilemma with Controlling Twitch Remotely
Most gamers and stream viewers try one of these stopgap solutions:
- Using the Official Twitch Mobile App: The official Twitch app only lets you watch streams on your phone. It cannot control what your computer's browser is doing or alter your PC's audio output.
- Bluetooth Remote Controls: Inexpensive Bluetooth remotes often disconnect, change system-wide volume instead of just the browser tab, and don't let you interact with chat or browse channels.
- Window Capture & VNC: Streaming your PC screen to your phone causes lag and consumes heavy battery.
The ReMay Solution: Web-Based Tab Control
Building on the success of RemoteTube for YouTube, ReMay Hub is bringing unified remote control to Twitch:
- Instant Volume Slider: Fine-tune audio levels without disturbing anyone or clipping your speakers.
- Channel Switching: Hop between active live streams on your PC screen from your phone.
