# Can I Have Multiple Speakers During a Livestream?

Livestreams can include up to **9 Speakers total** (the Creator + 8 additional Speakers).

At this time, only **Network Hosts** can start a livestream in a Mighty Network or a Space.

This feature is available on **web** and **mobile**, but we strongly recommend using **Google Chrome** to host or join a livestream (not Safari or Firefox).
