No, someone cannot see you watching their live stream if you don't click on it. Engaging directly with the stream, like clicking to watch, is usually required for your presence to be registered by the platform and for you to appear on the viewer list. Passive scrolling through your feed won't notify the person broadcasting that you were watching.

  2. Can you hide your presence while watching a livestream? You cannot hide your presence unless you avoid clicking on the video to watch.
  3. What happens when you engage with a live stream? When you engage directly by clicking to watch, your presence gets registered by the platform.
