Hydra Multi-Seat Reviews & Product Details

Hydra Multi-Seat turns one Windows PC into two, three or more real PCs. Plug in a screen, a keyboard and a mouse for each person, open the Hydra panel and hand them to a seat. Each person signs in to their own Windows account with their own desktop, apps and game library, and everyone works or plays at the same time. Each seat runs at native graphics-card speed, because every screen plugs into the PC. One graphics card drives several seats, and a seat can have several screens. An ultrawide monitor can be split in two, one half per seat. Each seat has its own sound: a headset each, or shared speakers split left and right. Game controllers and USB hubs belong to a seat too. Add, start and stop a seat, move a screen between seats, or switch saved layouts without restarting the PC. Setup is drag and drop: press a key on a keyboard to find it, then drop it on a seat. Each seat can run its own copy of the same game, so two people can play the same Steam game on two accounts at once, the way two PCs would. Most games work, including games with anti-cheat. The driver is Microsoft-signed, and Secure Boot stays on. One license per PC covers every seat, at home or at work. Monthly, yearly and lifetime plans, with a free 7-day trial of every feature. Hydra Multi-Seat runs on Windows 10 and 11 (x64) with NVIDIA, AMD or Intel graphics, on desktops and laptops.
