Testing streaming service (like selenium)

Good afternoon.

I'm testing my company's streaming service, which works like twitch.

The task is as follows: Log in to your account and simulate viewing a stream ( and chat)

I was thinking of writing code in selenium. But as far as I understand, in this case, you will have to use your own driver for each thread. I'm afraid it will take up a lot too much memory.

Now the question. Is it true? Is there any way to avoid this? What ways would you recommend to solve this problem?
