I like the ease of setup, both on Restream itself and with OBS. One stream key for multiple platforms. The chat service also provided by Restream pulls all your chat into one clean, customizable window, yet indicates which platform the viewer is chatting from. It is also nice that so many platforms are included among the options. Twitch, YouTube, Mixer, DLive, etc. Stream to one or stream to all. The service does what it does simply and reliably. Streaming software has also begun integrating Restream. I use the StreamElements streaming software and the Restream chat client integrates seamlessly.
The only issue I have had with the service is the slightly longer chat delay, however Restream Chat seems to have fixed that. There have been instances of loss of quality on occasion. I am nitpicking here, because there really isn't anything that I dislike with the Restream service.
The biggest benefit I have experienced is that I am not forced to abandon one platform (and it's loyal viewers) in favor of another. Thanks to Restream, when I decided to move to Twitch I didn't have to abandon my YouTube audience. I just added Twitch to the list and carried on. It helped bring together the audiences from the various platforms together into a community. The Twitch folks and the YouTube folks could talk to one another via the Restream Chat client with no delay. It also allowed me to test out other platforms without having to sacrifice all the time spent growing an audience. It is a great way to reach more potential viewers while keeping those you already have.
It works, and works very well, from the little things like having all the chats in one place, to being able to stream to so many networks without having to have 20 computers uploading the same footage. the support team are incredible and i have no idea where i would be as a streamer without the use of the amazing platform. 20/10 will more than highly recommend
support for instagram and facebook channel streaming, i don't know many streamers who like streaming to their walls and i wish i could connect my platforms without having to rely on premium and with the very nice looking facebook streaming platform i really wish it wasn't exclusive to the package
multi chat, being able to outreach so much better, access to sponsor and promoted content, the speed, work use of restream FTL is working again, i could write a book of all the problems that using restream in continuously solving. NEVER STOP! AMAZING PLATFORM
Easy to set up, and once it's ready, you can stream live to multiple channels at the same time. You can also see and respond to comments and questions from all of the channels while you're live.
Set up could be a bit easier, but it's not too bad.
No problems. Best feature is the ability to stream to multiple channels at once, and not have to take the time to repost.
I like it, it is very easy to configure, it allows me to publish my live broadcasts with multiple services simultaneously, it also allows me to publish messages through links to the most popular platforms on social networks. It gives you an incredible speed of transmissions. To start running everything is really fast and very easy.
I like everything, it is very complete, and it meets the requirements optimally. Few cons and updates very often.
It is excellent, it has allowed me to grow quickly and with good training as a creator, in addition to being able to share my content to a wide audience and on different platforms with excellent links. It is an optimal service, I have been able to create and develop my brand, my personality and my name. The best.
SO happy that I'm using Restream! Streaming to 30+ platforms with a touch of a button! Simple setup for an incredibly customizable, innovative and powerful program! I don’t know why I haven’t used it earlier. What I like about Restream 1. The ability to stream to more than 30 platforms 2. The Restream Chat feature 3. The Analytics 4. Real-time channel toggling 5. Restream Monitor I used to stream to Mixer, Twitch and YouTube at the same time and Restream was the best service for doing so. Due to it, I don’t have to choose only one platform for streaming my content. Restream is easy to use and they are constantly updating the features, making improvements. As I stream to three platforms at once, I have lots of viewers and commenters from all these three platforms. To keep the communication going, I am using Restream Chat to monitor and reply to comments from Mixer, Twitch and YouTube. OBS integration and social media announcement post setup are two easy integrations I would like to point out. Restream makes using the services and features really easy, with minimal effort or issues. I used Restream for almost two years and will be using it again in the future, when I come back to creating live video content.
Initially, when I wanted to stream to Facebook, too, the Live Event setup rarely worked with any issue. Besides, I had to pay for all Facebook features. I now know that streaming to Facebook groups and personal pages is free but haven’t tried going live on this platform yet.
I saved time on building my audience on three different platforms. I stayed connected with my viewers and kept track of their comments
I love all the features it packs, and the core features of it being free and easy to use.
I don't have anything I dislike about it, everything is easy to use and works well without any issues.
It has helped me reach more viewers in streaming.
Due to Restream Social Alerts, I don’t have to manually copy and paste the links of my live streaming - Restream does that automatically once I go live. The Dashboard is very simple and the onboarding process was very easy. Especially now that Restream has this new Restream GoLive feature, I am going to come back to this service once I need to multistream. This feature enables me and my clients to go live right from the webcam. It is easier than installing an encoder. Restream support team is amazing. Whenever I had a question, I just asked it in their website live chat and got a quick response from their 24/7 live chat support team.
I am not a heavy user so all the features I am using, are quite satisfactory for me. There is nothing I don’t like about what I have with this multistreaming service. When I was using an encoder, the setup process was not easy for me. This is because I am not a tech person. I would like to get more guidance on this. There is lots of information on the dashboard, but maybe a gif, a short video tutorial or something like that would be better.
Restream is very easy to use. It helps me reach more audience because I can stream my live videos to all of my desired platforms at once. Multistreaming is very handy and Restream is the only service that provides high quality.
1. Easy to set up 2. Easy to connect to channels 3. Lots of platforms you can connect to 4. No bitrate limit 5. Go live without installing any software
I only had one problem with Restream - the chat didn’t connect with Mixer chat. Then we solved the issue.
It’s a good practice to multistream. It’s even better when you do it with Restream.io
+ Easy Setup: Way easier than trying to figure out implementation on OBS and ensure it works. + Saves Streams: Streams are automatically saved, making them easy to download! + Customer Support: Had a question about their features and their support responded extremely fast in live chat and was extremely detailed. Great support!
- Doesn't Save Streams Over 6 Hours On Free Plan: I had a stream go over 6 hours while trialing Restream and needed to download it. Unfortunately, they don't save them over 6 hours on the free plan!
Restream gave me an easy way to stream on YouTube and Twitch, and save my streams
No editing is required. I can play a pre-roll, post-roll and add graphics live
I dislike the fact that there is no automatic transcription.
Video podcasting is easier with restream
