**Description**
Sunshine can support multiple clients streaming simultaneously, at the cost of higher CPU and GPU usage.
.. note:: All connected clients share control of the same streaming session.
.. warning:: Some hardware encoders may have limitations that reduce performance with multiple streams.

**Description**
This will generate distinct video streams, unlike simply broadcasting to multiple Clients.
When multicasting, it could be useful to have different configurations for each connected Client.
For instance:
- Clients connected through WAN and LAN have different bitrate constraints.
- Decoders may require different settings for color.
.. warning:: CPU usage increases for each distinct video stream generated.
