It makes no sense to allow multistreaming and not allow other chats. In fact it makes the viewer experience worse and more confusing; either the streamer not addressing the other chats at all makes the streamer look bad, or the streamer addressing chats that aren’t on screen or in twitch’s chatbox is confusing for twitch viewers.
Not only is this easily solved by allowing the visible presence of other chats, it even drives new membership to Twitch, as Twitch chat communities advocate to other chats about the benefits of watching on Twitch. I have personally seen this happen numerous times, and it creates new Twitch users.
Twitch would be very foolish to actively impede this process!
