Twitch Dual Format Streaming

Twitch Dual Format streaming brings simultaneous horizontal and vertical streaming to Twitch. Streamrun supports Dual Format in three ways: an automatic vertical frame, Dual HD input, or two separate inputs (one for horizontal and one for vertical). With Streamrun, you can stream in Twitch Dual Format from any device or software, while continuing to multistream in both orientations.
