Hydra Multi-Seat
Hydra Multi-Seat is Windows multiseat software that lets several people use one PC at the same time, each with a separate Windows account and desktop. Users connect their own screens, keyboards, mice and audio devices, then assign them to seats in Hydra’s control panel. The product supports two or more seats on Windows 10 and Windows 11, with each person able to run their own apps, work or games simultaneously. It is designed for households, couples, families, roommates and shared gaming, and can also support computer stations such as shop counters. Hydra is installed locally on a Windows PC; the screens connect directly to the computer rather than receiving streamed desktops. A single PC license covers all seats. Monthly, annual and lifetime licenses are available, and a seven-day trial provides access to the product’s features.
