Trustpilot ★★★★★This is the one that just works. Its good product from a strong team.
This is the one that just works and that's why I bought it. Glad I did. Pros from a human streamer: - ease of use is major, especially for guests. - pre-recorded streams when used tactically are a powerful tool, they make it easiest - the stream relay makes it so that I can get to 5 channels (at my tier) while only broadcasting out 2 streams (vertical, horizontal) - for someone like me, maybe you, with non-fiber internet, this is a"can't live without" feature - integration into OBS is seemless, preferred for me - web portal is actually good, best for guests, old people can use them and make them work easily (easier than zoom) - team is actually really responsive and cares. I trust them Cons: - web portal is limited currently in layout- this is a con for me, if you're in tech or biz this is likely a blessing (has been when I've used in tech world applications) - price jump is steep if you need a single feature at single creator level between lower and higher tiers - I wanna pay more money, meet me in the middle pls! - Im searching for more. I honestly like the product a lot.

G2 ★★★★★Restream: Solid, Complete, Stable Multistreaming with Intuitive Interface
Well, I stream every single of the year - except sometimes for new year's eve and Christmas and it has never failed. What else could I expect? It's an integral part of my job and part of my living. Whenever I support they are avaialble. Pros: Restream is the most complete platform out there for both multi-streaming and live shows in general. The integration with several platforms makes it perfect for syndicating for different destinations while the modular pricing system makes it fair. The stability and absence of issues or glitches during the shows is notable! The only thing that has ever happened to me was the initial screen once didn't come back to its orignal state, but it was resolved wuickly by support and since I was not live it was no issue at all - probably my mistake. Interface is pretty intuitive so no comments are necessary here. Clippings made by AI could be more a little more comprehensive but it is ok, I guess. I'm not heavy user of clippings. Cons: There is nothing really to dislike. Probably the only feature that they could improve would be the Studio. But dislike is a too strong word. I prefer to say that they could lead the market instead of being at same level with its competitors. There are a few features that could be implement such as green room, polls and giveaway tool.

★★★★★Powerful Multistreaming Made Effortless
Restream makes connecting with different platforms easy, allowing me to stream on Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube simultaneously. The multistream, layout, and high-quality video options save me time, simplify my work, and help extend my foundation's reach efficiently. Pros: I love that Restream makes connecting easy with different platforms, allowing me to stream to Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube simultaneously, and I look forward to doing it with TikTok too. The multistream feature is fantastic, as is the layout—it’s really easy. The quality of the video is superb, with options for high resolution. I appreciate the ability to make small clips from long videos, which really helps me save time. Having everything on a web platform is a huge plus because it doesn't use my computer's power or capacity since it’s in the cloud. It simplifies things for my team, as I don’t have a lot of help, and it makes my tasks and back-office work run very smoothly. The platform is very easy to set up, more straightforward than others I've tried. Cons: I find the connection with Instagram a hassle because you have to get a key and set up the video first, which makes it cumbersome. Also, sometimes the clips get stuck, which has happened to me twice. I had to call the help desk support, although they were great and even gave me a bonus clip because of the issue.

★★★★★Stephen is the greatest!
I encountered an issue with the channels not syncing correctly, so contacted support. The super nice, kind, respectful, professional, and patient support team member I spoke to, Stephen, handled things amazingly! Stayed on chat with me for hours diagnosing the problem and providing possible solutions then we eventually found the problem by them trying it on a new account. It was very quickly passed onto the engineering team and very quickly after that followed up on with Stephen to make sure everything was good. People like Stephen and the engineering team are the reason I plan to use Restream indefinitely!

★★★★★Restream Revolutionized Our Multi-Platform Broadcasting
I use Restream to stream to all my social media pages easily, solving bandwidth issues while traveling in my motorhome. It lets me stream to multiple platforms and provides great fallback recordings if I have issues on my end. Pros: I use Restream to broadcast to all my social media pages, and it's very easy to use. Restream is perfect for this. It has solved bandwidth issues for me while traveling in a motorhome, as it allows me to stream to multiple platforms without losing signal quality. The recordings feature is a terrific fallback if any issues occur on my end. I also love the feature for making short clips; it's very exciting and makes a huge difference. Setting up Restream was very easy, and even when I had a question, customer support was amazing, answering quickly and clearly. Restream is one of the highest quality, solid, and fully functional systems I've ever used, and I rate it a very solid 10. Cons: Ha! Really? There is NOTHING to dislike!

Capterra ★★★★★Multi-streaming made easy and reliable
As a producer and streamer Restream is one of my best companion apps to par with my streaming/switcher apps. It is super reliable, easy to use and what I really like is that you can turn on and off channels even when you are already live. I never had a problem with Restream and this is a tool that allows me to offer with confidence the multi-streaming services. Pros: What I love about Restream is the easy of use and the reliability that you have when you are doing multi-streaming. Cons: What I don’t like about Restream is the price, since there’s a lot of platforms that offer the multi-streaming option but again the benefits are worth it.

Capterra ★★★★★Intuitive Live Streaming Platform
Overall I really like Restream and their customer support when talking to the right people is very good. They could do with being more on the ball with what their competitors offer as I think they were ahead of the game initially but are missing features that others are now offering which makes them not the leader like they think they are. This comes across a little in their customer support at times. Pros: 1. The Livestudio system they offer is a very simple yet feature rich system to be able to do live and recorded videos. It also allows you to stream prerecorded videos as part of a live stream. 2. The Scheduling system to stream pre-recorded videos is great to ensure mitigate any risks in your own internet going down during important video streams. Cons: 1. The quality of the livestream video is very dependent on your own bandwidth so even if using it for making a recorded video, the quality is not as good as it could be, so it can't be used to make quality offline videos, which it should be able to. I dont like that the local videos you upload to stream live actually still come from your own machine and not from their server even though it has been uploaded, this means that you are still limited by your own bandwidth. Competitors get round this by allowing any uploaded videos more than a few hours old to stream from their servers. 2. They have a limited time of 10 minutes before you can schedule a video which is not competitive as competitors such as Castr offer a 1 minute scheduling. This is important for when you need to schedule an emergency video

Capterra ★★★★★The best Multistream Service
I'm happy with Restream, with my 2 years using stream, I only experience one issue with them. The issue was, I have a good internet connection, but it seems my ISP connection and Restream having an issue. Support was able to help me by giving me access to the beta feature of Stream Applifier which helps resolve the issue. So all in all, I have a great experience with Restream, I just wish they be more flexible in providing add-on features for a non-profit that need failsafe stream backup without subscribing to their $299/mo package. Pros: Restream is a feature pack multistream service out there. It is also the easiest UI/UX to understand. Even if it's your first time accessing Restream, you'll immediately be able to set up your account. What I love the most is the unified chat integration and the bot that comes with it. You can live stream on YouTube and Facebook and see all the chat's in one place. The bot helps sends out a series of chats at a predetermined time. For example, you can setup that when you type !Subs, the bot will chat, "Don't forget to subscribe" and have it send every 30mins. Stream recording is a bonus as well, it lets me download past live stream episodes for archiving purposes. Cons: What I don't like about Restream is, even if you paid $19/mo they will put a "Powered by Restream.io" on your live stream description/caption. Streaming for 3 concurrent channels will also force you to upgrade at $49/month which is a bit expensive.

Software Advice ★★★★★The Only Way To Stream
I do Live Shows and Chats with my audience and get thousands more viewers on multiple platforms than if I used just Youtube Live or Twitch or even FB Live. Its an event when I go live with Restream, something that people look forward to. In the age of IGTV (which I hope gets integrated at some stage) and IG Stories, people are going live all the time and its not the event it used to be. Being able to contact the streamer, comment and the facility I have employed which puts the fans comments on screen as part of the conversation across multiple platforms is the only way to live stream; and its really easy. I recommend it to everyone. :) Pros: This software is easy to use and Ive been using it for a while. There are constant improvements and updates and the features make setting up a solid, full featured stream really easy. I stream on 4 platform at once and have loads of viewers comment live. Using the amazing integrated chat stream I can monitor and reply to commenters from all four platforms, live! It also has Discord chat integration so this work perfectly well for my Patreon subscribers on Discord. Overall, Restream has been my goto streaming service and is essential is you want to maximise the reach of your creation! I live stream my podcasts and live chats as well as streaming games and other media to my fans. I couldn't do it without Restream. Seamless integration, really easy RTMP and OBS integration and social media announcement post setup (no fiddling around retyping stuff) Cheapest and best streaming platform imho :) Cons: In the beginning (maybe 2016?) there was a problem with the bitrate for streaming to Periscope and you had to pay extra for Facebook, which had an overly complicated Live Event setup that rarely worked without issue; and I thought that was all a bit of a jip! But with my big boy pants on and figuring out and experimenting with my streaming settings; I now have a seamless and easily initiated stream, all video works properly and the Facebook setup is now super easy and integrated and well worth the extra few bucks!

Software Advice ★★★★★Best service for streaming to multiple platforms at once!
All good, never had any problems thus far (waiting on a refund for a mistaken taken payment today, should be fine) whether it being service, information or payment stuff. Pros: -Easy to use. -Good and reliable infrastructure. -Affordable for the most part. -Chat bot that allows people on different platforms to communicate as if on the one. Cons: -Some of the options / services are a bit too pricey such as the trans-coding option, more affordable options could be offered there since generally you're talking about only Twitch which has issues on slow connections with 1080p as oppose to most other mainstream options. -Changing payment method for some service options require you to cancel the main account first which is odd.

Software Advice ★★★★★Re-diculous not to Re-stream
So far so GREAT! Being able to hit to audiences at once has helped us push milestones for viewers and watch time on both platforms.. and for our followers who prefer one side or the other it is nice we give them the choice of where to watch. Pros: I love that I can capture 2 audiences with one stream. I love that I am obtaining watch time and new followers on different platforms. Cons: I am only using the FREE version so I am limited to how many platforms at once I can stream. Having more platforms avail, without doubling would be a great addition to the free. (So having YT, Twitch AND Facebook, Mixer, etc avail as well would be swell!)

G2 ★★★★★User-Friendly Interface with a Seamless, Professional Broadcast-Style Stream
The provisdion of Local Recording gives me an enormous content library from each stream. The local recordings have been oming through in superb quality and they allow me to drop them into the oevrall replay in post if the picture quality of the stream has dropped anywhere, likewise with audio. It also allows me to cut high quality clips to compliment the full replay. The benefit is my streams and post stream clips all have superb production quality esoecially after passing through DaVinci Resolve for editing and grading. Pros: The interface is extremely user friendly and simple to navigate. With a 50 year background in film and television I especially like that it provides a seamless, simple to use, broadcast style stream which comes across looking extremely professional. Cons: It would be extremely useful to allow more than 8 uploaded videos clips for a stream without having to upgrade. It seems this should be accessible as there seems to be no limit on clips in terms of length, which is a good thing. However I would prefer to see length limits rather than limits on number of clips.

G2 Rated 4.5/5Restream Simplifies Multistreaming With Unified Chat and Great Support
Restream makes it easy to manage a live stream across multiple platforms without having to juggle them. Pros: Restream makes streaming to multiple platforms easy with an easy to read chat app combining all the platforms. This makes my workflow simple to setup, and I've rarely had any fuss with it. It's priced well for what you get over the course of a year as a heavy user, really helping me to grow my audience on YouTube and Twitch. When I have had questions the support staff was very quick and helpful. Restream has really helped me to make my game streams stand out. Cons: I could use a few more options in the chat display as most offer a white font. With a little tinkering in CSS you can adjust this, but could be easier. I'd also like to see some AI edited shorts integration included with the subscription instead of it being entirely separate.

G2 ★★★★★Reliable, Great Value, and Customer Service That Truly Helps
Restream solves the issue of delivering our content to multiple locations at once. They also provide a solution for our occasional need to do simulated live streams. This allows us to simplify our internal workload and focus more on the content and less on the delivery. Pros: Restream has been consistently reliable at a great price point. I think I most appreciate their customer service. It's not hard to talk to a real person and have them walk you through until the problem is resolved. Cons: For the most part, I have not experienced pain points with Restream during the time we've used the service. Any problems have been due to technical issues that were outside of either of our control. But if I had to pick something, I would say that it can be a little hard to find certain features in the dashboard. I often have to poke around a bit to find out how to access the Chat feature that's used to monitor our stream interactions.

G2 ★★★★★Easy-to-Use Streaming Platform with Helpful Support.
There were times when the scenes didn't retain the new input and that still happens from time to time. I figured work arounds on my own. The new clips service needs to add more platforms for multi-streams but I expect them to do that. I would love to have the option to post clips to Apple and Spotify. Pros: The interface is easy to use and navigate. And the tech support is always helpful even if the answer isn't what I want. That being said even when the answer is not what I hoped for, they look into to adding features and often do. The new features, for the most part, are improvements that help make my streaming easier. Some of them take time to adjust to, but once I get the hang of them I grow to like and depend on them. I used to use Zoom to stream/podcast and Restream is so much better. Internet-based software can be tricky when web service is spotty, but since I use an ethernet connection and a high speed service, it really is not an issue. Pricing can be picky for some, but when compared to other services, I thin Restream offers the most bang for the buck. And when others are increasing their prices, Restream is keeping things affordable. I use the top end subscription, right below the highest level and it does all it says it will do and more. While I would like the connections to Apple and Spotify to be built in like other platforms, the ability to multiteam all at one time is pretty slick. I really don't use other integrations since the ones Restream offers hits the ones I use. When they added Rumble I was very pleased. The newest offering is the AI clips feature and I'm loving it so far. I wanted to get into the short reels market and now I'm doing it more and more. My channels are growing from it so my reach to more followers is a direct result of that service. Restream seems to handle heavier loads well for the most part, although I haven't stress-tested it too much. I have contact with other streamers and I hear their issues with other services and I don't have those issues with Restream. I started using Restream when I and they were growing and even though others want me to switch, I intend to grow with them. It's a been a good partnership so far, one I don't intend to end. Cons: Their tech team is small for the most part and that could be an issue down the road. There are times when they are catering to streamers that don't match my needs, but I can hardly blame them for doing that. I retired from customer service jobs over the last part of my work experience and I know what good service looks like. There were a few times when I had to work through experiences like that, however the vast majority of times are good ones. It took longer to add some features I requested, but they added them eventually.

G2 ★★★★★Effortless Multistreaming with Top-Notch Studio Features
Restream handles livestreaming across social channels, manages chat in one place, makes streams look professional, allows multistreaming to platforms like LinkedIn and YouTube, and uses AI to create clips effortlessly. Pros: I love using Restream for livestreaming webinars because it practically handles everything for me, from the livestream itself to connecting with all my social channels and dealing with chat messages. The studio feature is amazing and allows me to host professional events with scenes and have guests on. Multistreaming is perfect for streaming across multiple channels like LinkedIn, X, and YouTube simultaneously. I find the AI clips feature really useful for getting additional content with no extra effort. Additionally, I really appreciate that I can stream live events to multiple channels at the same time while having all the chat messages aggregated into one. The initial setup of Restream was pretty straightforward, and even though I only used the support team twice, they were super fast and useful. Cons: Nothing

G2 ★★★★★Streamlined Broadcasting Across Multiple Platforms
Restream lets me broadcast across multiple channels without the bandwidth issues or limitations of vMix, simplifying integration. It's easy to connect platforms, and clients can log in to stream without sharing direct access. Pros: Restream is one of the cost-efficient private stream hosts for embedding a white-label stream on your website. I also find Restream quite simple to use and integrate with different platforms. It allows my client to log in and stream to their accounts even without providing their direct credentials, which makes it really convenient. Their monthly packages make it possible to use for one-off projects. Cons: The lack of stream analytics or live chat in the embedded streams makes it difficult to use in a professional environment. It would be really helpful to have the ability to start pushing an RTMP stream to Restream without it automatically going live. I wish there was a 'go live' button much like YouTube and other platforms have by default. Additionally, I had trouble initially because I was trying to connect an account that had manager access to a YouTube channel but wasn't the dedicated channel itself, and Restream wasn't able to detect the managed account. This meant we had to sign in through the original account, which required my client to do some extra work.

G2 Rated 4.5/5Restream: Reliable for Live Streaming, Needs Better Update Communication
I use Restream to stream my Ministry and live shows, making it easy to share teachings and scriptures while allowing interactive participation through comments and chat. Pros: I think using Restream is a great option for tracking and handling podcasts or live streams and shows. It was a wonderful thing to have the option to stream BIBLE teaching, and I'm able to stick comments or chat into the posts directly during live sessions. I enjoy that I can teach using it, like when discussing scriptures or teachings. Also, I love being able to send email links to my wife and other family members so they can join the live stream seamlessly. Restream allows us to broadcast live across multiple platforms, including my all channels and her Facebook & her YouTube, and I really like that feature. Cons: So one of the things that I think ReStream can do better at is emailing a lot of update options. I really wish they would send out an email to let you know something is new. Besides the fact I see it new when I get up on Sunday morning. That means they probably do these update changes on the weekend. Then I get up on Sunday morning, start getting everything together. Something is not where it used to be at. It's not really hard to find it. But I mean, you get used to a flow. Without, announcement something that's changed. Even though it might be a good or they might think it's great. Because its their idea, but it's not all the way fluent or flowing sometime.

Pros: I use Restream specifically for LinkedIn Live presentations, and it helps me connect to LinkedIn without needing complicated tools like OBS. I find it very simple and efficient. It also allows me to view the chats while I'm doing a live stream, which is helpful. On one screen, I can see my chat and present at the same time, enabling me to monitor both and see how things are moving along.

To also just make the whole stream very professional looking, because we can set up custom scenes, use our own branding, use countdowns, and so on. And it's really awesome that after the stream we just get automatic clips that we can share on social media and point people towards the stream, but also get additional content just generated on autopilot.

Restream is solid and reliable and very straight forward to set up. You just need to connect your social accounts where you want to stream to and you're good to go. Built-in chat module solves the problem of being logged in to multiple accounts with different devices to answer questions / see comments in the live chat. Quality of video interviews of guests is excellent and overall output looks very professional. Pros: Restream is a complete tool for streaming multi-platform (i.e. simultaneously to YouTube, Facebook, Twitch, .etc...) straight from your desktop. Very easy to setup with a dry yet clear interface, it's simple even for the non-experienced user. The built-in studio allows for one-man team productions like interviews (up to 10 guests,) tutorials and talking-head vlogs. You can share your desktop, add graphics and captions and see, show on screen and reply to comments from ALL your social networks during live broadcasts using the built-in chat window. Can be easily expanded to allow for external / additional cameras using a capture card (like Elgato or an ATEM Mini.) RTMP option allows for streaming to Instagram Live as well (using free app Yellow Duck.) Cons: Can't get rid of the Restream branding/watermark unless you go with the Pro Plan. Also, you need the Pro Plan to stream Full HD 1080 from the Studio (can do it with external source, though.)

Capterra ★★★★★The #1 multi-platform streaming service! You won't look back, EVER!
The biggest problem to grow an audience is to be able to put yourself in front of as many eyeballs as possible. This becomes especially difficult when your audience is spread across multiple websites/platforms. With Restream, it becomes easy to put yourself in front of audiences in over 30 platforms. You can later use the data to find out which platforms are doing well and what time of the day/week is better for different platforms. This way, you're able to reach the right audience at the right time. Also, being able to seamlessly connect the chat from different platforms is a godsend. Never have to worry about missing out on another message or wonder if we've missed anything. Pros: For someone who was looking for a platform to be able to stream to multiple websites, without having the overhead to be able to do it locally, Restream came as a big help. I did not need server grade hardware to stream to multiple platforms, just one stream that I send to Restream that is then sent out to ALL connected platforms. The ability to see chats from all these different platforms in one location is something I love about Restream. The only thing I need to worry about is the ability to send one good stream to the main service. Everything else just falls in place without me having to lift a finger. Cons: The inability to stream to a Facebook page on the free version is a let down. For someone who is just starting out, it might be difficult to pay a monthly bill when the customer acquisition cost is already worrisome. But it is not a detriment to growth because the free plan will suffice for 95% of all first time users. It would also help to be able to stream to Facebook page when you have less than 100 followers, which would make it easier for those entering the market.

Capterra ★★★★★Restream provides the best streaming services for simultaneous multi-platform streaming.
Streaming across a variety of platforms, using studio tools, and extensive modifications. Its simplicity of use makes my life feel less stressful. Pros: Almost all streaming platforms are available for simultaneous streaming. Restream is easy to set up and has a tonne of amazing features, like their own Restream Chat that links all streaming platforms into a single chat room and many more. Real-time interactions with all of my streams have been made possible with Restream's addition of FTL servers for streaming. Cons: Restream only give you 10 minutes to schedule a video, which is not competitive because rivals like Castr allow for 1-minute scheduling. This is crucial if you need to plan an emergency video.

Capterra ★★★★★A straightforward way to go live on multiple social media platforms at the same time
Pros: In my opinion, of all the things Restream does, the one I like the most is helping creators leverage live streaming to grow their audience and influence. I really like the fact that I can reach people on different platforms (already 30 platforms with the free plan!), and I can do so from a single dashboard. Restream's approach is relatively intuitive, so you'll be able to leverage it even if you don't consider yourself much of a tech savvy person. The second thing I'm a fan of is the chat feature. Try to imagine having to keep track of each individual chat, comment and conversation that's happening on a specific platform you're streaming too...it would be impossible! But Restream comes to the rescue by centralizing all the comments, questions, etc. from multiple platforms into a single chat, making the life of live streamers easier. Cons: As someone who's managing a Facebook group, I know that I won't be able to use Restream to add my Facebook business page and group to the list of platforms I can multistream to unless I'm ready to go for a Restream premium plan. Granted, this isn't the end of the world, by no mean, but I think that, when it comes to impacting and growing my audience, I would like to start from my existing one – and, in my case, my Facebook group would be a the top of the list.

Capterra ★★★★★Free multi platform streaming solution
As a free service to multi streaming, I would say that Restream does the job just fine. It's not the best service out there but if like me, you don't have the budget to invest another 10$ a month for a multi streaming option, then Restream is the way to go. Also note that they have one of a kind, very rare technical service. I honestly haven't seen a chat support that helpful elsewhere. Restream might not be the best option but their technical service sure compensate for that downside! Pros: - Allows you to stream to most known platforms at the same time, free of charge - Great Recap/report of your latest stream through email - Top of the chart technical support - Relatively easy to set up through OBS and well known streaming platforms like Twitch and Mixer Cons: - Depending on where you are, unstable internet connexion to their servers, causing drop frames and lost packages (might need a specific tool that can't be found on their website) - Some streaming platform access might get blocked once in a while... - No facebook Public page stream with the free version - Chat bot can be a mess sometimes and stop working randomly. Never found out how to log out of the Restream chat application. - Very hard to configure with Facebook public pages and Youtube gaming.

Capterra ★★★★★Everything I look for in software as a service
Excellent overall experience. For a while I didn't feel a need to stream on multiple platforms, but then they came out with Restream Studio, and that brought be back. I tried other platforms, but the guests couldn't figure them out. Studio was an extremely successful extension of an already excellent service. Pros: 1/ You can stream on multiple platforms as promised, and it's extremely interview-friendly. 2/ With very little knowledge, anybody can have access to a larger audience. 3/ They added guest management system that makes it ridiculously easy to do interviews. I've never had a single guest fail to connect from any platform. This is important to me because my guests are not tech savvy. Cons: Understanding how to aggregate chat is hard. Just need some better documentation, but it can certainly be done.

Capterra ★★★★★Restream has helped me more then anything!
What i guess i explained some it in the paragraphs above. But it just really has been one of the most helpful tools ive used wvery since i started streaming. Between the ease of use, the ability to help my platform grow by streaming through multiple platforms. Even the chat has made ot easy for me to keep up with everybody. I have been able to have more confidence in my stream and feel more successful juzt with being able to do more with such ease. Pros: When i first found out. I really just was blown away with the ease of use. And the abilities of the platform. But then as i set it up. I realized you could even chose titles and games and just instantly fell in love. It has safed me SO much time when starting a stream. Especially seeming i stream to 4 platforms. Cons: What i liked least was at first some things arent explained. But i just figures it out. Like if your doing all title and game uaing the overall part. It only has a few specific games. So i have to go in and individually change the games. And that kinda defeats the purpose of it being "quicker". Also within Restream chat it wont pick up Facebook.p Probably harder to do but i end up missing people because im paying attention to my restream messenger.

Capterra ★★★★★Works for everything I needed
Restream gave the channel a huge boost and I still use it to stream on Facebook, YouTube, Mixer and VK. I became Affiliate on Twitch, and because of exclusivity, I can't use it in the Mix anymore. I still just solo out to Twitch anyway though and works just fine. Pros: Restream helped me get my gameplay out to 6 services at once, which was huge exposure and let me see where I could build an audience. It adds barely any delay to a stream and allows for good chat interaction. The dashboard function to title things all at once or individually is nice. Auto tweeting and posting to discord is also a major bonus. The chat works great too. Cons: Used to be difficult to use, but had become much more functional. I wish they had more games to select from the drop-down list, just saves time. Ability to change the game on YouTube without having to go to the channel.

Capterra ★★★★★restream quality
its helped me build my brand further which I'm thankful for but maintaining 3 different stream formats is difficult. such as mods subscriptions and gifts. other than that it does what it's intended to do. Pros: the ability to unify people across many platforms and give them the chance to experience the stream service you provide. being able to reach a larger demographic is fantastic for brand building Cons: the fact that its spread across many platforms even with the chat system in place I won't be able to recognise what viewers are from what platform, and veiwers will also be confused to whose questions I'm answering and chat systems provide a human connection that is what people mainly join in on a stream for otherwise they will go watch a pre-made video on youtube. so perhaps a way to show where people are from, and some banners or links for people to use the restream chat and communicate over the many platforms along with me. similar to discord or whatsapp, but for all people in a stream.

Capterra ★★★★★Years of daily use with very rarely a problem
I started streaming "Not Financial Advice" a couple years ago and have barely stopped streaming ever since, partly thanks to Restream. Unfortunately I've yet to garner significant viewership but Restream is a also a great tool to make sure that I don't often miss interaction from the occasional viewers, which of course increases the chances that they will return. Pros: The ability to stream to multiple platforms using one bandwidth stream and such low latency is a feature that I feel quite lucky to enjoy for free. Cons: Unfortunately, for the last few months, sending a message from the Restream application for Windows 10 causes the embedded chat window to show the same message multiple times from every connected platform. I solve this problem by replying from my discord channel as much as possible though.

Capterra ★★★★★Our Preferred Method for Multi-source Streaming
Our desire to send our live stream of our worship services to both YouTube and our Facebook Page has been solved through our Restream subscription. We utilize this service every week for two-services each Sunday. This is an absolute asset to our church family. Pros: The "set it and forget it" aspects of Restream is a true blessing. The initial setup took some time, but now that things are setup, we really have minimal work for each week's use. Cons: Occasionally, Restream's (free) plugin that works with OBS Studio requires an update or refresh and this slows us down only slightly as we have to reset. This has been an issue on 3-4 times a year.

Restream has grown a lot and continues to get better by the day, it allowed me to branch out and meet people across multiple platforms at the same time. Pros: Restream allows users to setup 1 account and then link MANY different sources to where they want their stream to go. It is easy to navigate and comes with helpful tools on the side to help powerup your stream even more such as the chat tool. They also have an analytics dashboard so you can see your metrics, as well as an after stream report that can help see the overview of your entire stream. Cons: Sometimes it felt like there was a lot going on and could be overwhelming.

G2 Rated 4.5/5Schedule tool is a life-saver
We used to stream directly from OBS several times a week, which required a lot more hands-on work. It also relied on our somewhat instable internet connection. Pros: The scheduler tool makes automating a livestream simple. It's also great for streaming to multiple platforms, such as Facebook Live and YouTube Live. The support we received while having an issue was also prompt and comprehensive (they have 24/7 chat support). Streaming from their servers, using Scheduler, is also a great solution if you have somewhat spotty internet reception (which we have). We used to get regular disconnects or would have to severely throttle back our quality, now it's just simple and straightforward and we don't have to worry about any of that. It's great! Cons: There's a charge for the main service and then an additional charge for Scheduler. Scheduler is one of the main reasons why we went with this software, and will most likely be well worth the $49 extra per month. It just removes so much manpower from the streaming process when it's all automated. We just check in on the software as we're going live to double check everything is set where it needs to be, then we just sit back and let it go. We did have a random disconnect at one point, which may have had to do with our video bitrate. Their support team was helpful in diagnosing the problem.

G2 Rated 4.5/5Makes it an easy broadcast but hate Branding
If you stream live events, you'll know what a hassle maintaining an audience is. Not only do you have a high channel capacity in place, what with multiple computers pumping content across the web, but you also have to handle the viewers coming in through your stream. This is a very difficult task, especially if you want to have an interactive audience. This is the first of the main benefits the Restream add-on for OBS grants the user. Not only does it help broadcast your live stream to a much larger audience, but it also manages the stream for you. This means you'll never have to worry about stopping, starting or stopping your stream for your viewers again. Not to mention that it's also incredibly easy to set up. You can sit back and relax while your audience rises. Pros: I can't say enough good things about restream.io! After using xSplit for a long while, I was having some problems with bandwidth so I was looking around for something that would allow me to multi-stream my streams more effectively. Since I was already using OBS, I knew it would be an easy transition to use Restream. It's so easy to set up and only takes a few minutes to get going. I was able to immediately get 0-lag and was also able to try out a lot of different bandwidth settings to make sure I was getting the most effective one for my situation. Since the views of our broadcasts have increased and donations have increased significantly and I don't have to worry about whether or not I should be streaming on one platform or another. I highly recommend checking out restream.io, you're going to love it! Cons: Restream provides a very useful service for people who want to stream but they need to make some improvements on their branding. The branding on the site is too much and it makes it seem too corporate and not personal. Also, the website isn't very interactive and the colors are not as vibrant as they could be. However, It is a very useful tool and it is very easy to use.

G2 ★★★★★The best multistreaming service
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. Pros: 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. Cons: 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.

G2 Rated 4.5/5Need to 'live' stream on multiple platforms? Restream is what you need
Due to the global Coronavirus (COVID 19) pandemic, the church needed to be able to 'live' stream services. However, the internet connection in the church is terrible and was not up to the job, and Restream gives us the ability to record our services and then stream them as if they were live. The streaming service they provide has meant that we have been able to continue to have our services throughout the pandemic and even increased the number of people who have been able to participate in them. Pros: Restream gives us the ability to multi-stream 'live' to both YouTube and Facebook simultaneously without needing to use any OBS software installed on a local computer Cons: The one thing I dislike about Restream's Scheduler is that it needs any pre-recorded videos over 2GB to be uploaded and scheduled at least 2 hours before streaming is scheduled to start.

G2 Rated 4.5/5The most live streaming platforms support
I primarily live stream to YouTube, but I wanted to reach other audiences as well without having to sacrifice one over the other. There's a lot of people who only watch Twitch, Mixer is getting more attention & DLive as well. It's helpful to stream on multiple platforms so you can reach more people. Pros: Reastream is extremely helpful for live streaming to multiple platforms & multiple audiences at once. Without their service, it would be impossible without having an exorbitant amount of hardware & internet resources. It is very easy to setup pretty much any service to restream to as well. Support is quite excellent, they respond quickly & are very helpful. Cons: They seem to take quite a while to add chat support for new services. When DLive started getting more popular, it took about an extra month or so for chat to be supported. I really dislike that you have to pay extra to stream to a public Facebook page (not personal) & it's annoying to have to pay for a single custom RTMP, but at least that one makes more sense. They seem to be trying to drop support for Windows 7, since Microsoft themselves are.

I saved time on building my audience on three different platforms. I stayed connected with my viewers and kept track of their comments Pros: 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. Cons: 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 think this is a great way to “shotgun” out your stream to find out which platform better works for your content. Pros: The Windows chat client paired with the RTMP streaming app of your choice makes for a super easy mini live production studio. I’ve used it with Streamlabs/OBS (Windows and Android), Livestream Mevo Camera and Ubiquiti Networks FrontRow camera. They have all been flawless. Cons: Older versions of the chat app seemed to disconnect over very LONG streams (24hrs+), but this seems to have been improved recently.

Capterra ★★★★★Easily Stream to Multiple Livestreaming Platforms
Restream, if used right, is an invaluable tool for streaming with plenty of benefits. I would stick to using it for too long, however. Pros: Restream is a tool allowing users to stream to multiple livestreaming platforms to reach multiple audiences, such as on Twitch, Youtube, and Mixer. It supports a variety of different streaming programs, like OBS and XSplit, making the transition from a single streaming platform to multiple a breeze. Restream also has it's own web interface for livestreaming that is accessible and easy to use for newcomers. One benefit I saw using restream is the benefit of quality Youtube VODs, especially since Restream doesn't record footage for free. Restream also supports multiple chats, compiling chats from the different platform's that you're streaming to into one single chat for you to easily view, reducing the nuisance of trying to interact with users from these different platforms. Cons: Streaming to multiple platforms inherently splits one's audience. Also, connectivity was sometimes an issue compared to just streaming directly to a platform, resulting in a long stream delay or stuttery video. Lastly, streaming to multiple platforms might be against your Terms of Service agreement depending on your status with a service, such as being a Twitch Partner. You'll need to check to make sure that you're allowed to stream to multiple platforms.

Capterra ★★★★★It Used To Be Free But...
When we first started using this tool, it was like a cool new secret weapon. Most OBS software didn't support multi-streaming then, so this gave us the opportunity to stream our concerts across a LOT wider audience. But all good (free) things must come to an end... There is now not really any reason to use Restream unless you've never used any other streaming service and you're just starting out. It's a good platform to learn on but it can get expensive if you want to actually utilize the multiple streams. Pros: When Restream hit the market, it was a place that "handed off" your video to a lot of other destinations so that you didn't have to figure all that stuff out yourself. It was dead-simple to use and it used to be free for multiple platforms. Cons: What is most disappointing with this platform is that sometimes the extended platforms it connects to go down, shut down, break, or otherwise don't work, but you will almost never get notices about these - the system seems to only notify you if there are issues with YouTube or Facebook.

Capterra ★★★★★Live Streaming Essential! 🏆
Restream has allowed me to connect multiple Live Streaming accounts to one central, affordable and user friendly platform. It will be hugely beneficial in helping me to grow my business as a Live Streamer and connect with a wider community. The customer service they provide has been incredible so far - they even helped me choose the best broadcasting software for my needs. I thoroughly recommend Restream for anyone looking to get started with Live Streaming or to expand into new platforms. It is an incredible tool for the modern streamer! Pros: Restream is a fantastic option for linking multiple live streaming platforms together. By giving their users the option to stream to different websites simultaneously, Restream enables the user the maximize their reach and integrate different platforms in a way that wasn't possible before. Added to that, whilst there is a premium option for power users, many of the advanced features are completely FREE! Some of my favourite features include: - The ease of setup and the efficiency in connecting/linking multiple accounts such as (YouTube, Twitch & Facebook). - The incredible support they offer on their website - The seamless integration with Open Broadcast Software (OBS) - The analytics they provide as well as the report they email to you after the live stream. - Restream Chat. This app is available for free. It enables the user to connect the chats/comments from different platforms so that you can see and respond to all the comments from one place! Cons: Given that I'm still new to Live Streaming, I'm yet to formulate a complete picture of everything I need to ensure my Live Streams are operating at the optimum capacity. My early impressions of Restream have been extremely positive and they already offer more options than I currently need. As such, I don't have any negatives to note here. Restream does what it says on the tin and executes it with aplomb!

Capterra ★★★★★Multistreaming Becomes a Breeze
Restream made it that much easier to get our multiple weekly livestreams out onto social media and streaming platforms. We're grateful for the capabilities of the software and how smoothly things go with Restream. Pros: Restream really makes streaming that much easier for the user. This program allows you to broadcast a livestreamed event simultaneously to multiple platforms via their platform. This makes it possible to reach a much wider audience through the use of multiple livestream platforms. Restream has excellent integration capabilities with other broadcast software (our preference) or allows users to stream via the Restream Studio website. Interactions with viewers can be managed through the Restream comments tab. Setting up streams, switching streams, and publishing streams is truly a breeze. The experience is worth the money and makes our streaming setup much less work. Cons: There are still a few kinks that need to be worked out in continuity. For instance, updating the names of your livestreams on the Restream Studio website does not always update the stream names in other places where Restream is used (broadcast software, for instance). Regardless, this does not severely limit the usability of the program and is a minor con.

Capterra ★★★★★Testing, Streaming, Switching
Restream has been an absolute necessity in my streaming career, and as a set-dev streamer, it has allowed me to do my job so much better than if I were to not have it. I sincerely hope it is a platform that continues to be expanded and improved. Pros: Whether it's for a quick stream, or for an extended session, Restream has been the perfect platform to allow me to quickly stream to all my platforms at once, or select different platforms for different streams. It allows me to do this quickly using a user-friendly Web-based GUI rather than juggling stream keys moments before going live. It has taken the headache out of changing settings for different service providers (twitch, mixer, facebook, etc.) with no noticeable loss in quality or increased stream delay. Cons: A lot of the times my viewers complain that the title hasn't changed or my category is incorrect. This has been an on-and-off issue for me and not something I've been able to pinpoint. Using the mass title editor is convenient, but it doesn't always work it would seem.

Capterra ★★★★★The only way to stream
It's been on the whole a positive experience. I have recommended restream to friends, collegues, and discussed it with peers. (MattPat of Game Theory was unaware of the service before I brought it up with him) I'll be using it for the foreseeable future too. Restream is fantastic even as just a manager for triggering social media awareness, chat integration and platform management, it's original (or branded purpose) ie to stream to multiple platforms at once not withstanding. In fact I've recently found that I get better engagement if I stick to a single platform at a time, rather than splitting my audience up. If I had any suggestions or notes, the only thing I can think of wwould be some kind of recording save feature, but of course, that takes up a lot of valuable resources, so I'm not expecting that to come from this platform. Thank you for this tool! Pros: Sending my OBS signal directly through restream is currently my primary method for streaming. It ensures that I'm sending the right info to the right platform, and the correct bitrate/other encoding requirements. These days I don't stream on multi platform so much as I use it to easily switch between platforms for different streams. For art streams, I need to use picarto, but for gaming streams I use twitch. And for other stuff, I have used youtube as well. The chat client in particular is fantastic for integrating into my streams. I can use the browser source to display chat in obs, and the desktop app to keep an eye on the chat on another monitor. Cons: I'm often logged out for reasons I'm not sure of, I have to close OBS to change the platforms I broadcast to (even if I'm not yet live). The chat client doesn't play nice with some of twitchs features (scripts, bots etc) and sometimes stops updating mid stream. Because this happens in both OBS browser chat and the desktop app, I still keep a window of the native chat client to the platform I'm using open, in case I suddenly can't see what the chat is saying.

Capterra ★★★★★Overview of Restream
Like I said in my pros about the service, I use it every time I stream. I stream either everyday or every other day and I have had no problems at all connecting to a stable server for any platform I wish to stream on. Pros: I like how easy it is to use. Even somebody brand new to streaming can navigate their simplistic menu and add their channels to the service to be able to use it. They’ve even added automatic chat pop ups for when you go live using obs studio so you don’t have to manually open them! I use Restream every time I stream because it’s extremely reliable and allows me to stream on multiple platforms without overloading my pc. Cons: Honestly there’s not anything to dislike about the service.. if you don’t like it then that means you just had a different service preference or something.

Capterra ★★★★★Solves the Problem of Streaming to Multiple Sites at Once
Restream solves the problem of getting multiple streams working at one time. This is a solution you should strongly consider if you have a limited amount of bandwidth because running multiple streams with a limited amount of bandwidth is difficult. Pros: Restream allows you to easily stream to many different streaming platforms at once. I use Restream frequently to stream church services. With Restream I have been able to stream to YouTube, Facebook, and Periscope at the same time. Setup is not hard and starting new broadcasts is not hard (just remember to change your title before starting a new broadcast). Restream has allowed my church to reach a wider audience with ease. Cons: Restream's chat app is not the best. I tend to spend more time on each streaming platform's live broadcast interface to interact with the audience than I do on Restream's chat app. Restream also lacks a mobile app.

Capterra ★★★★★Build a Community Across Multiple Platforms!
Having streamed to one platform exclusively for about a year (some time ago), I wanted to try other sites without leaving the original platform behind. Due to Restream's extensive features, I was able to not only stream to multiple platforms but grow a community across them all. It extended my reach in ways I wouldn't have otherwise considered and has changed the way I look at streaming entirely! Pros: The chat features really make Restream a standout product. Connecting viewers across multiple sites enables me to build a community that transcends any one streaming platform, and for that I am grateful! There's several options for how you want to accomplish this too, which gives you a great deal of control. Cons: It can take a while for new platforms to be fully integrated, especially chat features. That said, Restream still seems to get that accomplished faster than other services. There are occasional hiccups with individual platforms, but they're typically due to a change on the platform in question that hasn't been fully rolled out or documented. Even then, Restream is quick to address these issues!

Capterra ★★★★★Multiply your audience across platforms
Overall I like the ease of use and can converse with viewers from multiple platforms from one interface. Pros: I like how easy it is to plug in your destinations so you can have Twitch and YouTube streaming simultaneously. The cross platform chat with OBS integration is awesome so I don't need multiple apps running so use less resources on my PC. Cons: Facebook Page streaming being a paid feature, I do not make money streaming, I use OBS because it is free, I use the free version of Restream and cannot afford to go with a paid plan. Would like me to be able to steam to my Facebook Gaming page too, but alas that feature is not available for broke folk such as myself .

Capterra ★★★★★Streamer Review
Highly enjoyed the experience. Although the chatbot is a hit or miss for me, thats not to say that the idea and ability to expand the brand and expand into collecting as much data as possible his such a huge up in my overall experience. You also get paid versions in the software which I haven't used but definitely doesn't hurt to see what those offer. Pros: you have the opportunity to expand your brand and collect as much data as possible. With Restream having the ability to stream to multiple platforms at the exact same time even on the free version is such a good move for creators who are growing and or expanding the waters in other platforms. Your having the chance to collect data on growing doing comparison from one site to another. All of this at the exact same time. Cons: The chatbot is sometimes just a hit or miss for me. I could be doing something wrong, I wish it was more of a nicer config to customize things but wish the chatbot could be more easily usable.

Capterra ★★★★★Best Programm for Multistream
By simultaneously streaming multiple platforms, I can build my followers faster. Sometimes the chat crashed, which I did not like. but it is a very good program Pros: i love restream a lot. It is simple and easy to use. The program gives me the opportunity to reach more spectators. I think it's very good that I now get paid games. Many thanks to the restream team. Cons: I do not see anything negative in this software. I would like a monitarization for the livestream as youtube. Automatic advertisements in the streams. i would wish for an improvement. It should be in the chat program to see how many spectators one has on the individual platforms.

★★★★★A good service for broadcasters
No complaints - it's worked whenever we've needed it and saved a lot of money on upload costs. Pros: Restream has made life a bit easier when trying to broadcast to multiple services especially with a capped upload speed - Their pricing is super fair and they even had a lifetime deal promotion which was a no brainer - I use them consistenly and have never had issues. Cons: They don't differ from the competition by a lot - their lifetime deal and value was the main selling point but the tech is pretty much the same as what everyone else offers - It's likley a limintation to what's actually possible but they do a good job with the value provided.

Capterra ★★★★★I can't wait to learn the rest.
We had to find a way to be on more than just one platform at a time. Restream did that. Pros: When I sat down for the first time in front of the livestream portal (in the browser), I didn't have to hunt for anything. It is an intuitive layout that will be easy for anyone with some computer know how. And a complete novice could be trained, and with practice (trust me, I work with volunteers), look like a pro. Cons: The only downside is bandwidth needs. Unfortunately, with current technology, video needs the band width. The only way I know around this is lower quality video (which can be accomplished if you know your equipment).

Capterra ★★★★★Almost Perfect
Using restream allows me to reach a larger audience with only a few minutes of set up. It makes like a lot easier having a middle man rather than trying to find some sort of plugin or workaround to stream to multie sources. I love it. Pros: It's quite easy to use and set up along with being able to connect to basically every streaming platform. It helps to grow an audience because, even on the free version, I can still reach two streaming platforms instead of one. Cons: The added delay because my stream is going through a separate service makes it really hard to interact with chat. Also sometimes the connections just don't work and I have to either reconnect (specifically to Mixer) or restart the stream.

★★★★★Restream makes the impossible possible.
I haven't needed to interact with support or sales since it just works and everything is there. As soon as I can budget & and the next sale (Like the Halloween sale) happens, I'll upgrade to include FB pages. Pros: I do not have the bandwidth to stream to multiple services, nor the hardware to do so. They solve both of these problems easily and more. My latency is better since their servers are less congested than some of the other providers. Also, having a single point for all the communication from my fans and followers is fantastic. Cons: I would like to stream for free to my facebook page as well, as it has many times the followers as my actual Facebook account. But I am considering upgrading as soon as I can to support their service.

So great to be able to get my whole community from all platforms together without anyone missing out on any of the live streams and live content. Pros: The amount of services and playforms you can multi stream to is wonderful. The ease of changing all titles at the same time has been a wonderful addition to the service since it was implemented. It is quite easy and reliable to use restream to all accounts and platforms. Plus the different campaigns Cons: Sometimes i feel like the FTL setting doesnt worn too well and bitrate falls a bit and even though it works well with mixer it doesnt go well with twitch and i cant make individual changes to the settings.

Software Advice ★★★★★Restream review
Pros: Pros: - Allows streaming to multiple services. If you want to stream to multiple sites at once, restream is the way to go. It can allow you to stream to both Twitch and Youtube at the same time with no noticeable change in quality. - Easy to set up. Simple instructions and intuitive controls allow you to easily set up Restream with you streaming application, such as OBS, make it easy to set up multiple streams. - Nice chat interface. Once Restream is set up you can also use the chat service it provides which combines all your chats from the sites you stream to, into one useful chat window. Cons: Cons: - If there is a problem with Restream you will not be able to stream to any of the sites you have set up through it, and will either have to wait until the problem is resolved or set up connections outside of it. - Some errors that come up are not clearly explained our how to resolve them, but as the software is relatively new this could be fixed in the future.

Software Advice ★★★★★Multi-streaming at it's finest
Honestly I have nothing but good things to say about Restream. What restream was designed to do does it so well. When first starting on the website everything is clean and easy to locate. It is beginner and user friendly, it's far from overwhelming. And again the convenience to stream on multiple platforms is a dream come true for those that want to. Pros: Restream gives you the opportunity to stream on multiple platforms with ease. My favorite thing about restream is that they give you the opportunity to test other streaming platforms all at once. For example, at one point I considered to stream on Youtube and so I did with two other platforms all at once. Turns out I didn't find Youtube being the right choice for me. I'm glad that I was able to find out that a certain platform was not for me with out setting aside the other platforms I have worked on. Cons: I don't have any complaints with restream, they have updates every so often. My only issue that I have EVER had was Restream's Chat and a couple of times I had trouble reconnecting platforms with restream and these platforms would disconnect on their own. But again with updates it was all resolved.

Software Advice ★★★★★Helps You Grow
I have been streaming since the early days when Ustream was free as well as Livestream.com. So a long time. But I have always stagnated with growing my channel. Too many people refuse to join Picarto and beg me to stream elsewhere and with how hard it has been to get subs, it became very difficult to juggle between streaming on three different sites. Restream broke a barrier I have been craving for years! My overall experience has been very positive. It’s easy, no lag, no noticeable issues and best of all no lag! I joined the discord group in case I needed help but found answers there first without having to look too hard. Since using Restream I haven’t stopped recommending it. The funny thing is there’s a misconception that Restream will cause a lot of lag. I make sure to add this bit of info when sharing my thoughts. Pros: I like the speed of multi streaming without putting a strain on my system. Cons: The chat you can download often won’t connect with Picarto

Software Advice ★★★★★Great for getting out there!
Restream is really helping me expand my streaming presence by allowing me to have a setup that works with and broadcasts to all of the platforms that I use to stream. Its has save me quite a bit of time and head scratching by making it possible to control everything from one place. Pros: To put it simply, Restream is one of the better multi-streaming apps/sites that I have tried out. As a begginning streamer, I want to get my streams to as many viewers on as many platforms as possible and using Restream, I can do that with little to no effort. Setting everything up to run was a breeze and once I made some adjustments to my internet connection, streaming is smooth as butter. Even on Facebook. All in all, if you are looking to expand your horizons with your streams, Restream is not a bad way to go about it. Cons: The thing that I like least about this software is probably the learning curve involved. More than likely, that's more than likely operator error and is easily overcome by seeking help through the provided forums and technical support. Things are getting much easier as I learn so I'm sure those with more experience streaming wouldn't run into the same issues that I had.

Software Advice ★★★★★A must have for streamers
The Restream platform (channels, comments, monitor, etc.) has greatly consolidated two major things for us: The steps needed to go live, and the number of browser tabs needed to maintain quality of service. Hands down, I would recommend Restream. Pros: Restream was a game changing for us. We specialize in live, weather coverage. Sometimes that means unplanned, time-sensitive, storm coverage. Restream allows us to go live to all of our platforms quicker than any other platform we've ever used. Restream allows us to go live to many platforms with few clicks. With Restream, we go live to multiple platforms with less clicks than it would take to manually go live on Facebook alone. If you're not using Restream, you're doing it wrong. Cons: The team at Restream seems to always be innovating and trying to stay up-to-date with the latest each platform has to offer. Naturally I assume they're restrained by available API access to those platforms, which isn't their fault. I wish I could do a few more things, such as giving my Facebook streams different video names and post descriptions. I also wish I could use Restream to control the crossposting opportunities seen natively on Facebook.

Software Advice ★★★★★Reach Far and Wide
Extremely positive experience. Our team covers different angles to various platforms simultaneously, but sometimes, it's just not possible to have everyone on deck for an event. Restream allows for a member to opt out if necessary without shrinking our potential visibility, and frankly, that's fantastic. Pros: Ease of use and convenience. It's fantastic for when you have an event and want to make sure all your bases are covered at once. It's no longer a question of, "If my team can't commit for a day and I alone stream to this platform over here, who am I leaving out over there?" You're covered. With Restream you're a one man army on all fronts. Cons: Not much I'd consider a con. Sometimes the Restream chat across platforms is a tad temperamental. I'd say the only real dislike is the auto-fill into descriptions and titles upon start of stream that says "Restreamed with Restream.io". I understand the need to advertise a service in use, but perhaps a customization of the message or adjustment to placement if it's in a longer description, maybe even a premium to remove it altogether. Right at the top can feel a bit intrusive at times.

My experience with restream has always been good and its nearing the point where I dont think I could see myself streaming not using Restream.io Pros: It simplifies a lot of the stressful and confusing things about streaming. The vast amount of services it's compatible with makes you unafraid to experiment with new services outside of just twitch and facebook. It's also one of the only services that makes streaming to facebook.gg far less of a headache. It does a better job than even facebook itself. the pricing is affordable and reasonable and the customer support is top tier. Cons: I wish there were more options regarding social alerts. Such as being able to schedule them and having them not trigger say if you have to stop your stream and then re start right away. But thats a very small gripe compared to the overall value you're getting.

All in all, we couldn't stream like we do without Restream. It has become an integral part of our streaming schedule and our viewers love the flexibility they have when it comes to watching on their platform of choice! Pros: We love the ease and simplicity behind Restream's design; using the single-source stream key in an encoder like OBS, users need not have to choose to stream on just one service; they can stream on all of them. The chat app is also excellent for keeping track of viewer interactions anywhere they originate. Cons: We do not like how certain streaming services like Facebook are gated off behind a subscription. Thankfully, Youtube and Twitch are available, along with many more. Additionally, the viewercount sometimes gets stuck in the chat app when using more than two services.

For what I need it for , it's great. Restream's chat doesnt seem to work properly. I hope they fix that one day. I can't reply to any of my chats from the restream program it seems. And I can't stop it from showing some channels in my discord.. which makes my own discord chat through the restream app useless.. Also , no facebook chat integration yet is upsetting. Pros: I like that I can actually stream to several platforms at once and even ones I've not yet discovered..

Using Restream.io allows us to reach more viewers. Not everyone can be on Twitch or on YouTube. This allows us to reach our viewers where they are and not have to force them to a single platform. Pros: Once set up, there's nothing else you need to do. Every one of our streams go to both video platforms without fail. The chat app will bring in the chat from multiple streams into one window which is very convenient. The chat is also highlighted with which platform the comment came from. Cons: This is not a huge problem, the chat app sometimes freezes. If chat seems to have stopped, a manual refresh gets it running again.

It helps to promote myself and my business, and helps as a free tool for my startup business as a streaming service for those who can't stream by themselves. Pros: It does what it's supposed to do, taking one stream and sending to multiple sites channels (YouTube, Twitch, Mixer, Periscope, Facebook). I use it everytime i stream from my PC and also when i stream public events for my clients. They also offer a combined chat program that works great for free. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles but 90% of what you'd want for a streamer. Cons: I can't complain about a program that's free. The only thing i don't like is that i need to pay the subscription to stream to a Facebook account.

Software Advice ★★★★★Restream is amazing for streaming our medical programs
Restream is the best service for streaming to multiple destinations. I build my community on different platforms with spending less time and effort on it Pros: Restream pricing is pretty fair and you get lots of features. I like that they have lots of discounts on different occasions. I am in the medical field and we lack lots of videos, live stream lessons and everything that a student would need digitally, once they get home or whenever they didn't have the chance to attend the lesson. So what we do is to stream our lessons, practices and experiments for them through Restream. Cons: I am using the free version of the service and don’t have any complaint about any of the features I get.

Software Advice ★★★★★Simple, Quick & Easy
I use restream to organise my going live posts and redirect my streams to other platforms choose I need to at the click of a button. I think I would be a lot more stressed if I didn’t have restream to help me out. Pros: First time using it I found it very easy to set up. Simple not simplistic to use for someone who’s a first time user. Allows you to stream line your socials to post at the same time which is really handy for streamers like myself. Cons: The only real downs side I find is it doesn’t allow you to upload images along with social going live posts, which would be a real benefit if it did.

G2 ★★★★★Versatile solution for multi-streaming live and prerecorded video
Restream allows us to share Zoom-based live performances on multiple social media channels (Zoom's built-in API allows only one destination), and these destinations can include not only our own channels via Restream's API options but also others via the RTMP options. Pros: Restream makes it easy to send a single livestream to multiple destinations, it consolidates chat comments from all destinations into a single thread, and it makes it possible to schedule streams in advance. Standout features: it can receive and pass along RTMP data from other sources (such as Zoom), and it's possible to upload video for scheduled livestreams of prerecorded video content. Restream's tech support is also quite responsive. Cons: Restream's subscription tiers are a bit pricey compared to its closest competitor, Streamyard, especially when it comes to getting rid of branded backgrounds and watermarks in Live Studio, Restream's in-the-box production option. The latest features that allow integration of both RTMP source data and custom overlays and branding are only available at a higher tier.

G2 ★★★★★It Just Keeps Getting Better
The ability to repurpose video content by live streaming previously recorded videos greatly benefits our organization. We have a global audience, and having the ability to schedule a stream for different time zones is enormous. Restream also makes it very easy to bring in multiple guests via browser, which minimizes technical complications. Pros: I originally purchased a lifetime subscription to Restream to stream to multiple platforms simultaneously and to live stream pre-recorded videos. Both features are rock solid. In addition, Restream continued its Live Studio development, which has been a huge bonus! They continue adding features that make live streaming easy and professional to this day. Cons: I consistently have issues with my live video streams freezing for a few seconds at a time. I can't say for sure whether the bottleneck is on my end or theirs. I have plenty of bandwidth, and I rarely have this issue when using other live video services such as Skype or Facetime video Messenger.

G2 ★★★★★Great Solution for multi platform livestreaming
We can connect to new live-streaming platforms like LinkedIn and can also broadcast to multiple platforms at once. Restream has some nice features that unify chat and title changes across all your broadcast locations. Pros: Restream makes it very easy to stream one broadcast to multiple live streaming platforms. I originally started using restream as they were one of only a few options for the beta of LinkedIn live. I found it easy to connect my LinkedIn profile as well as other platforms such as Twitch, YouTube, and Twitter. Connecting accounts is easy and quick. Support has been very helpful the times I've needed to contact them. Cons: The integration with LinkedIn often disconnects, and I get no indication of this until after we have gone live. I wish there was some kind of verify accounts function I could run before we start streaming. Some platforms don't allow you to connect the broadcast midstream. I wish they would better support Instagram and TikTok. The only ways I've found to stream to these platforms are hacky and unreliable for regular broadcasting.

G2 ★★★★★Restream is a hassle free way to Livestream on multiple platforms
Restream allows me to go live on YouTube, Facebook, LinkedIn and other platforms at once. The chat features allow to reply to chats from within Livestream studio. The integration with OBS is also a plus for me. Pros: The interface of Restream is user friendly and all the options to go live is right there on the dash board. It is easy to add destinations and from within the Restream dashboard all the Titles can be updated.Restream allows easy livestreaming to multiple platforms like YouTube, LinkedIn, Facebook Group, FB Page or Individual account, Twitter, and RTMP destinations. It also aalows Chat overlay to highlight chat during streaming. I can also use my custom logo and banner. Cons: The pricing can be a little low for starters. A companion mobile app would be an added bonus. The website even though works on mobile does to seem to be too mobile friendly.

G2 ★★★★★A solid and stable option to do multiple streams directly from your browser
At the time I was using it presented the unique solution for small-time content producers and influencers to stream one piece of content into multiple platforms at a time without having to worry about "hurting" each platform's natural algorithm. Pros: The well-established and solid functionality of the tool, started out when multistreaming was devoted to the gaming industry and one could figure out what the need was to be able to stream to multiple Facebook pages and then youtube! They have continuously improved the platform and made it more easy to use. Cons: I personally don't agree with their pricing policy, its become prohibitive to scale up in their improvements and new features, while they have kept the casual and trendy appearance it feels as if they have moved towards a more corporate/solid business strategy without keeping in mind the smaller creator

G2 Rated 4.5/5Makes streaming 1, 2, 3 or more...as easy as 1...2...3...!
Being able to get my content to multiple platforms simultaneously allows me to reach a larger audience with great ease. This can present partnership opportunities very rapidly with multiple platforms. Pros: What I love the most is how easy it was and is to get up and running with Restream.IO. Simply start an account, add all your relevant platforms, grab your RTMP keys and away you go! Their chat module makes it easier than ever to have all of your streams communication with one another and you the same with all your viewers (supported and compatible platforms only). With no caps or limits, they make it easy to just get going! Cons: Sometimes connectivity isn't perfect but that is a rarity, nearly all streams will go through and end perfectly, no matter their duration. Managing users across all platforms can also prove very challenging.

G2 ★★★★★Expands your reach simply and reliably without sacrificing quality or community
The biggest benefit I have experienced is that I am not forced to abandon one platform (and its 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. Pros: 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. Cons: 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.

G2 ★★★★★Multistreaming at its finest
Multistreaming to newer audiences, all in one place. It really is quite amazing. I've been able to reach so many more people simultaneously, as opposed to just picking one platform. I started with nvidia's embedded "to facebook" streaming. But that wasn't enough. I couldn't get the interactions I wanted. I did try Mobcrush, and while it was cool, it didn't have near as many options as restream. It really is awesome. Pros: I get to broadcast to the big dogs at the same time. Facebook live, youtube live, twitch, mixer. That's huge. Not having to be selective is truly what the internet is about. I want to reach as many people as possible. This is the best option I have found. I haven't been able to test it's integration with SLOBS, but once I can do that, I have no doubt this is the best streaming/multistreaming option in the world. Cons: The chat isn't perfect. I really feel it takes away from my streaming experience having to have so many other browsers open, just so I can see my chats. The live view is also sluggish. I like to say hello and usually the viewer is already gone. Changing titles is also hit or miss. I have to manually change some things, every time I want to stream. Maybe its a language barrier.

G2 ★★★★★Amazing Restreaming platform
This platform has made it so simple to stream to my different outlets. I think the ability to add the channels then all you have to do is simply click a toggle to change what channels get the stream. Then it has the ability when streaming to Mixer to use the FTL service which is awesome and most of the time Restream is faster then most other streaming platforms alone. Pros: How simple it is to easily update and add the different channels. The ability to have all the analytics from all your accounts in one spot is amazing. It makes it so easy to see how many viewers each platform had while you also can see which one made any revenue as well as which ones did not do as well. It can give you a insight that you cant get easily any other way. It has the ability to run a video at a set time, so a rerun before you go live directing everyone to a certain platform is always helpful as well. Cons: Only dislike is that there are some other channels i would love to have added.

Having used Restream for over two years, Restream let me grow two significant audiences on Twitch and YouTube rather than one. It's been excellent! Pros: The ability to stream to major and smaller platforms with ease! This allows me to access a larger possible audience without having to pick and dedicate myself to one. Additionally, it allows me to interact with them through the multi-platform chat and have more in-depth and useful statistics. Cons: Some functions have had issues and it hasn't been the smoothest experience. For a time the stream dropped frames from Restream and sometimes Restream chat can't keep up. Thankfully, support fixes these quickly once the issue is raised!

I can stay focus on just Streaming!! The Ease of Restream is easy as 1.2.3.. or Just Logging In and Begin Streaming from your favorite platform!! A GOD Send.

Love there's a chat where all the chat is pooled in. Cons: It's so hard to contact customer support. The livechat option doesnt work and keeps on glitching. I wish there's a filter in the chat that when you cross post it's not so spammy when it shows in the chatroom. I also wish they'll fix the streamcraft linking option because it keeps disconnecting. I also think you should make a mobile app to make it easier to see and manage the stream.

Truly, being able to so simply set up the stream across multiple platforms made this fun. I actually enjoyed using it, which is not something I experience too often. Pros: Easy set up, and does exactly what it says it does without fanfare or distracting features. Restream puts our streaming events in multiple places, clean and live, with the click of just a few buttons. Simple to figure out on its first use, this makes streaming an event pretty fun, because it exponentially increases the viewing audience. Cons: There is nothing not to like just yet. The setup is simple and works pretty effective without being a video engineer or tech genius.

Restream made us feel confident during the event and it felt like a blessing!

I don't have to pick and choose anything, I can go one place and stream on multiple sites. Pros: There are so many sites I am using and I have the convenience of using only one for the most part--- or just being able to select and choose which sites I want to use. Restream pretty much streams most websites even some of the unpopular ones/little known ones. It's so amazing and it literally makes me happy. Cons: Ah as for the cons, the set up for the restream code/link its kinda rough if you don't know what RTMP or FTP or something like that is. It got confusing for me. Ah or the specifics for some of the places they have like "Miami" sort of thing, and I don't live in Miami but I think it works the same??? maybe?? Ah there needs to be a better chat option because right now I'm working on one screen and I cant have the chat up or it lags my computer. and keeping the browser open is poop. I would like to suggest getting a client to download much like streamlabs and slap the chat in it and it would be three million percent better. I know its not easy to do but if you did I would definitely be happy to donate to restream.

The restream chat app is always really nice even if you only stream on one platform. Cons: The new chat app is missing features the old one had like being able to play a sound every time a new chat comes in. There is a feature like this in the new chat but you can’t change the sound.

I'd like to do some slightly different type messages and templates in my stream. I don't like that it puts the "powered by restream" on all my streams. I think the Title and message areas could be easier to edit. Like have a date that changes every week, or a message with rules that you can apply. Maybe some kind of help in that area.

Restream is such a powerful tool to stream out to so many eyes. So many more than your streaming to via your 1 set audience. You can have a bot setup within Restream to repost all of your chats to other chats you are streaming to. So no one misses out on the conversation. I love this so much as a feature.

You can use Restream to edit all of the stream titles to all of your sites you are streaming to. I found these 2 things amazing and super helpful.

Cons: I do wish I could stream on more than 2 programs as a free user. Like 3 instead. But all you have to do is go pro for them. Witch is easy to do.

Software Advice ★★★★★The best tool for live streaming!
When I started streaming, I wanted to not be tied down to just one platform, and the fact that I was able to find restream, and being a streaming n00b, easily set it up and use it, was amazing. I have recommended Restream to MANY other users and helped them set it up. They too are extremely satisfied customers! Excellent work Restream! I am probably your number 1 fan! Pros: This software allows me to not only post my live stream to multiple services at once, but it also allows me to post social media messages to the main ones I use, to post my live links, as well as a message! The fact that you also get a report on your stream afterwards makes it even better for technical people like myself to ensure I deliver the best possible experience to my viewers! Cons: There is absolutely nothing I don't like about the software, it absolutely 100% fills my every need!

Software Advice ★★★★★Great Service with Features you can't find anywhere else
I really like Restream and I would recommend it to anyone looking to stream to multiple services. Pros: The fact that Restream will stream out to all of these different services at once is really amazing. I don't have to make my audience decide on where to watch because they can use the service they feel more comfortable with. Cons: The features I use are very sparing compared to someone who probably pays for the service. However, if I had to choose a con for something it's that the chat has a longer delay than the chat that is inside SLOBS. While the majority of the time it's not an issue, there are times where it has stopped updating or other times where it'll take up to 60 seconds for the message to appear compared to SLOBS.

Software Advice ★★★★★Multi Streaming Done Right!
Overall it’s been excellent and I wish I had started using it sooner! Pros: Streaming to multiple platforms is already great, but the best part is compiling all the chats in one tool so I don’t need to monitor several web pages at once! Then having the option for chats from one channel to be posted to the others is another great addition that makes the experience more cohesive Cons: There’s not a lot to complain about. One thing I would change is being able to post separate messages to the different social media channels since some might benefit from hashtags or @ mentions that the others might not. Additionally, the transcoding is a bit too expensive to be practical. At least for small streamers

Software Advice ★★★★★Does exactly what I need it to do.
I like the included analytics and added features like the chat box, but I just end up using the ones in StreamLabs. StreamLabs is just more robust in these areas so it feels like a better fit for me. I would love to see restream expand more in to this area in the future. Pros: I love the ability to restream to Facebook and Twitch at the same time. Honestly, I just love that I can set it and forget it - I don't go back to Restream's site often, it just works. Cons: I wish that Facebook was included as one of the non-paid options (but I get why it's not). I also wish that I could have my stream compressed to 720p for Facebook while sending my 1080 stream to Twitch.

★★★★★Great experience
Great experience. Their service works well. I’ve tried a few different methods and other companies for multi streaming and honestly Restream is by far the best and easiest to use. It works well, their chat all in one place is super useful and even their free tier works great. I recently upgraded to their 1st paid tier and I’m so far very happy with the additional features I have. There pricing was clear and I check and unsubscribing looks to be easy which is always good when a company makes that process transparent. Overall I recommend restream

Capterra ★★★★★Restream allows you to stream your video feed and simultaneously air it on different channels. T
Pros: With Restream, you can stream to multiple channels at once and enjoy a live studio audience. The scheduling of videos is also very convenient- it's like they're prerecorded! Cons: inerating pricing and the user experience could be improved. A companion app would make it even better! The website itself works well enough on mobile devices but does look pretty cramped because of its layout which can lead you into confusion when trying navigate between different pages or check out orders quickly near your location .

Pros: I love that I can talk to all of my subscribers and followers on multiple platforms at the same time, and set up the robot voice to have them all talk to each other while I play a game for their entertainment. Cons: Sometimes ot freezes up and crashes without warning me. Freezing is quite annoying when watching only one window and it upsets the subs and followers saying that the chat broke.

You can also feed live meetings/webinars from zoom and push that feed to your linked platforms in real-time. Restream studio also has a LOT of added features, graphic/text overlay options, etc. for anyone that doesn't want to use Zoom.

Pros: I love that once I set it up, it was extremely easy to toggle back and forth which channels I wanted to go live to.

Honestly, I'm obsessed with this software. The definition of doing one thing really really well. Cons: You're sometimes beholden to the usage limitations of wherever you're streaming to. So, for example, you can no longer stream to an individual LinkedIn event. You have to stream directly to your page or set up an event in Restream itself.

Restream.io is the real differentiator for salesXchange Ltd - Going live or restreaming after the first live show and looping. Digital marketing has failed B2B organisations for many years, everyone uses the same technology and thinks they're different to their competition. I believe Restream is the only currently available stream tech that can make a difference to generating new business. Prospect awareness is only built upon repetition (replaying-restreaming-looping!). It takes approx. 30 attempts to get noticed. 1-in-3 get through so you need 90 lined up. Our engagement has flipped with Restream. No more to be said.

I've had pretty much an excellent experience with Restream. It's near effortless, which helps someone like me who doesn't have a ton of spare time to fiddle with things. Pros: I like giving users a choice as to where they watch my content, but didn't really want to spend time and effort trying to make my own RMTP server. Thankfully Restream gives me pretty much all the options I could want, and its integrated chat program makes it easy to manage multiple chatrooms from one place. It's certainly made my life a lot easier overall. Cons: Ping times sometimes don't make sense. Why do I get a better ping from Seattle rather than San Jose when I'm in Los Angeles.

What it offers for free, makes you want to pay for the Pro version, just to support their amazing company. Cons: You could demand better performance and more sites, but that's just the free version.

Capterra ★★★★★Multi-platform Video Streaming Service
Restream is an easy to use yet robust video streaming platform. Pros: The initial set up very easy. Connecting our Facebook & YouTube accounts. It is also very easy to teach others, especially volunteers. Cons: We did experience some disconnects & issues uploading prerecorded videos at the beginning, but they seem to have been fixed.

★★★★★Multi-streaming
No problems. Best feature is the ability to stream to multiple channels at once, and not have to take the time to repost. Pros: 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. Cons: Set up could be a bit easier, but it's not too bad.

When I found out a bug they solved it immediately and helped me solve the complications. Pros: Restreams cross platform chat is a god sent I can interact with my viewers all in one location and not worry about missing peoples chats on any of the linked platforms. So easy to setup. Cons: The cost to run it as a hobby is a big step for streaming to two YouTubes or to Facebook.

★★★★★Great service for any level streamer
Great service, especially for anyone just getting started with streaming, where multi-channel support is key which only makes sense. It’s designed for out of the box use and it’s almost that. I ran into a couple of issues: 1. Video output bitrate being was too high for Twitch which made me appear offline; 2. Chat inputs from Twitch and YouTube would not display on Restream chat when I tested them using different profiles. Oddly enough a spam chat items got through via YouTube which I’ve never gotten until I started on Restream (not sure if that’s a customer data vulnerability). Great feature though to be able to block/interact directly (on behalf of your YouTube account) within Restream chat. In both instances, I had to search for solutions which I found outside of Restream. I also don’t know how to get to the chat from home, so I have to Google to get to its landing page and then select browser chat window over desktop app (on my phone which is my second screen). It’s also hard to get to the broadcast page.

Capterra ★★★★★My Restream Review after 1 year
Overall, my experience has been great. I multistream to Twitch, Facebook, and Youtube. Unfortunately, Instagram is not available to stream from any computer-based program due to Meta policies, and they cannot do anything regarding that. But so far, so good. The main reason I use it is the integration with Ecamm, which is my main streaming software, the video quality, and the cloud recording is very useful to later take clips to publish Pros: The most important of all features is the Ecamm Live integration. Being able to read comments from different platforms/social media from the same chatbox. Also, the video quality that Restream provides is the best with barely any delay. When they dropped the Restream branding in the basic standard tier, it was a no brainer about what multistream software to use, especially the discount for Ecamm users under the Ecamm Perks program Cons: Restream needs to incorporate an HTML5 embedded player /chatbox. Many of us would be very benefited by this, especially the ones that would like to use our own website and private subcriptions. FYI: Streamyard already offers an embedded player

Capterra ★★★★★One Happy Streamer
As stated above, Restream has helped me solve my issue of transferring my audience to a new platform. It would have been difficult, if not impossible to do it before, but Restream makes it possible for me to reach both audiences at once. Even after I make the switch, I'll probably keep using Restream because of the built in notifications and occasional sponsored streams that are offered to users. Pros: I like the ability to bring my two audiences together. I've streamed on YouTube for almost 2 years now off and on, and have become increasingly displeased with the direction their site is going in terms of streaming. I've been trying to transfer my audience over to Twitch instead, and Restream has made that transition smooth as butter. I'm able to still reach my fans on YouTube, encouraging them to come join us on Twitch, while at the same time marketing to a new audience and growing my channel on Twitch. Cons: There have been a few bugs, mostly with the chat client either logging me out, not properly displaying the number of viewers, or the bot not transferring messages at times, but it has been a mostly positive experience. I've only had these issues about 3 or 4 times in the past 6 months or so I've been using Restream.

Capterra ★★★★★A great way to stream and chat to multiple services at once, with a few bugs.
Overall, it's good. but it still needs work. Pros: 1. Streaming to multiple services at the same time. 2. Linking multiple streaming services chat together, and embed in the stream. 3. Customer Service is great. they've helped me fix a couple of issues directly while i was live on stream. (Youtube Chat not relaying into the Restream Chat) Cons: 1. The chat is often janky and doesn't always work as intended. 2. Discord integration is often faulty. 3. No Android app for chat. 4. Web chat on mobile logs you out every time you multitask or turn off your mobile screen. 5. Facebook Gaming claims to be free, unless you're using a Facebook Page to keep your gaming and personal stuff separate. (Only free to Profile, not to Page) 6. Often gets a red bar in the embed in stream or the chat program saying "Error, Retry" and ther chat stops working for hours.

Over 2+ years Restream has allowed me to build a positive and interactive community across the internet and has expanded my audience and friendships along the way, if it wasn't for restream then I don't think I would be where I am today. Pros: I like that Restream allows me to showcase my work across all the platforms that are important to me. I can share my designs and games with the people I love around the world because Restream exists. I feel like the UI is easy to understand, intuitive and functional, and the servers are typically well maintained.

Software Advice ★★★★★Long-time Restream User
I originally began using Restream back in 2016 or 2017 because I thought livestreaming to multiple platforms would greatly increase the odds of my livestream becoming what I would consider a success. I was wrong about that, but it's not Restream's fault! 😉 Pros: Restream has allowed me to livestream to both my YouTube channel and my Twitch channel at the same time, which has several benefits to me: • I don't have to remember export Twitch archives to YouTube before they are automatically deleted. • If someone on Twitch is having internet connection problems, they can go to the YouTube livestream and take advantage of YT's transcoding. Twitch does have this feature, but only broadcasters of significant viewership (i.e., not mine) are able to use it. • Before Twitch created a hard bitrate limit of 6000 kbps, I would stream to Restream at 9000 kbps, which both YouTube and Twitch supported. Unfortunately, I can't do this anymore. I have some Restream Transcoder hours left over from when I helped beta test that feature, but it's not worth it for me to use. Restream has also done a fantastic job of implementing features that are supportive to multistreamers, such as combined chats. Cons: I don't really have any complaints. Just keep on being amazing!

Software Advice ★★★★★Making multiple platforms feel like one!
I've been using Restream.io ever since their earliest days. Back then, it was glitchy and could drop your streams without notice. Was a bit frustrating, but seeing how they have improved both the service and stability is refreshing to witness. Its extremely reliable and for a consistent daily streamer, that is a breath of fresh air. Pros: Setting up 3-4 different platforms to stream to is extremely easy. Then, once its setup, it becomes a set-and-forget situation and it works flawlessly every time. Cons: CHAT! There is a relatively crude chat program that is supposed to send chats from all platforms to each other so that all your viewers get the conversations in all chats, but it doesn't work very well and has almost zero customization. Would love to see this improved.

G2 ★★★★★Awesome app with amazing features, keep improving adding new updates every month.
I was using OBS, but with Restream I can also schedule the live stream when I am not available online. Pros: There are many alternatives to Restream but In terms of technology and support, I really like the Restream App for multiple streaming at the same time. Restream team is adding new features and updates regularly, they have added Restream Live (Stream Directly from the Webcam), Widgets for your sites and OBS, Facebook Live on Personal page on a free account, LinkedIn live. With everything is going live due to pandemic in 2020, Restream has launched "Restram Studio" with this you can directly broadcast to multiple channels directly from your browser. Not only limited to Gaming but, it is Useful for Online classes, webinars with overlay graphics and company logo. Another great feature I like is you can schedule your live stream with uploaded video, so you don't have to be on camera when online. There are some time and event slot limit, but it is useful feature. Cons: In terms of technology Restream is definitely an awesome tool, but when you host Facebook Live they will add a link to the description like powered by Restream.io for paid users as well, this description needs to be edited manually after going live.

Capterra ★★★★★Broadcasting easily without much knowledge
I've started using Restream during the 2020 pandemic, where webinars and meetings were all held online in a virtual space. I like the tool and I will probably keep using it. Pros: I like that the personal use for this software offers a lot of functions and is, currently free. When I need to stream video on multiple platforms simultaneously Restreams comes in handy. I had no previous experience in this area, and this tool was still easy to set up and use. Cons: I like the tool so far, their website answers all my questions when I have them. The software is fast and easy, there is nothing I dislike as of now.

Trustpilot ★★★★★Great
Great: better price than what I was paying elsewhere, more features to use like the various background music selections, countdown timers, scrolling marquee, and ease of prescheduling a live stream. We also liked the stream performance email immediately following the stream. Cons: in the playback video stored on Restream and on YouTube, there are frame drops, so the video feed stalls every few moments. It almost appears to coordinate with when I click on viewer comments to display them on the screen. The post-stream performance email indicated no lost frames but that is not the case, though it is an improvement over the other company we used previously. Otherwise, this was a vast improvement in streaming performance over what we were previously getting elsewhere.

Capterra ★★★★★Great Service
Pros: For basic / small streamers the free version of the software if absolutely great if you only stream to a couple platforms. The chat bot overlay is super helpful as you are able to see chat from all platforms in 1 place as well as making it an overlay on your main screen. Cons: Because your stream will be going from you, to restream, and then on to your platforms there will be a bit of a delay but nothing too terrible. (For me streaming from OBS to Twitch directly is about 10-15 second delay, add in restream and it goes closer to 30-45 seconds which is still not terrible)

Trustpilot ★★★★★The program is pretty good overall
The program is pretty good overall. It is pricey, however. I'm disappointed that we can only use a background with the laptop or desktop. The background feature doesn't work with phones and tablets. Periodically, setting up an external mic for live streams through Safari on iPad can get glitchy and people cannot hear you. I've had to simply disconnect the mic. Many of the channels on which you can multistream are platforms most people do not use, so it's overkill for the price. You can't stream to IG,certain LinkedIn free accounts, or Tictoc (obviously). You don't need an app for Restream and it runs directly from a website. This is a great plus for several reasons. The learning curve is short and and the ease of use great. I an pleased with Restream but wish they would add more backgrounds, overlays, and graphics to give us more professional looks and greater variety. Of note, if you're techno savvy, you may download your own.

Capterra ★★★★★Restream, awesome tool for better streams, for growing a bigger audience with some smaller bugs
Besides minor bugs, Restream is an ingenious product. I hope you can understand my Review of Restream, iam not really good in writing reviews in english Pros: The best thing about the software is that you can stream across multiple platforms simultaneously without uploading to multiple servers. Restream is easy to use and I would say "idiots safe". Cons: Strangely enough Restream tells me that the server in England (London) is better for streaming than the one in Frankfurt. OBS and Steam always recommend Frankfurt for download and uploads. But that's just a small thing. The bigger problem are the smaller bugs. Restream Chat sometimes doesn't send my messages as a streamer, sometimes it says "Reload again" and I have to wait a while. It happens that the restream chat takes some time to send chat messages. It also happened that the design of the chat in my stream had formatting errors. All in all I am very satisfied, because apart from these small inconveniences Restream is brilliant. But there is one thing I dislike! If I click on a user in the chat, then directly under my mouse when the menu opens, is a button called "Block User". Unfortunately I keep coming back to this annoying button. Would it be possible to move it a bit?

Capterra ★★★★★A good live streaming tool that still needs some work.
The overall experience is positive, but there are a lot of frustrations related to using it weekly. We're considering switching to another streamer. If it were not for the learning curve that requires time investment, we would have done it a while back. Pros: I like that it gets the job done, most of the time. Quite easy to install, set and use. I like the scheduling feature and the fact that we can personalize the videos to be true to our brand. And the fact that you can stream on multiple social media platforms simultaneously, most of the times working neatly. Cons: When we started using Restream, my partner and I, who are also the admins for the platform, could go live on our LinkedIn accounts simultaneously. Meanwhile they changed something and this is not possible anymore. Even when I share the live link with my partner, he cant't join the live from his phone, no button available...Unfortunately, because of this, we can't take advantage of streaming on multiple channels on the same platform, which is very frustrating.

Capterra ★★★★★Restream: The starting point for anyone and everyone
I've used Restream for several years as a small streamer, and it has allowed me to stream to multiple websites at the same time, allowing me to keep an archive of my streams and streamlining the process of scheduling and promoting my stream. Pros: Restream is a very useful tool for everyone, be it the lonely start-up streamer up to the corporation looking to get its word out about their products. It's simple to use and allows advanced users to take advantage of what it offers while guiding less experienced users to achieve their goals of setting up a stream and getting it working with little hassle. Cons: At first, Restream may look a bit intimidating, and poke and prod a lot about buying a subscription, and while that doesn't take away from its functionality, it may be annoying for some users.

Capterra ★★★★★Streaming Service That Gets The Job Done
To start out our community streaming this was a great product. There are a lot of competitors out there with varying strengths and niche focuses. I would recommend ranking the feature set you are looking at before purchasing a streaming service. This would make the purchase process much easier. Pros: - You can quickly enter the streaming room after a Stream is created. - Restream made connecting to LinkedIn and YouTube reasonably easy. - Restream seems to have an excellent Discord integration, but it's not something we used. Cons: - While we were using the product, it was a pain to set up the stream. You would have to go to YouTube and schedule a live streaming event. Then come back to Restream to connect the scheduled event to a Restream based streaming event. The process was relatively unintuitive. - To my knowledge, after using the service for four months. There is no way to invite multiple people onto your stream. It's just you. - Very limited customizability on the display of YouTube comments during a stream. This feature is something Streamyard does VERY well (we switched to them because of this).

Capterra ★★★★★I love Restream!
Since I have discovered Restream, my streams have become much more active with people coming from all over. My YouTube channel, My Twitch channel and my Mixer channel. If I don't particularly have a lot of activity on my YouTube Streams, Twitch and Mixer make up for it. It took me a while to get used to using Restream but once I got the basics I have a blast every time! Restream has also introduced FTL servers for streaming meaning real time interactions with all of my streams! Pros: The fact that this software is free of use to everyone is amazing! You can stream to pretty much every streaming platform you can think of at the same time. Simple to set up and Restream has cool features like Restream Bot, their own Restream Chat which connects all the streaming platforms into one chat and much more. Restream has also introduced FTL servers for streaming meaning real-time interactions with all of my streams! Cons: Some of the features need polishing. For example, I have to restart my Restream Chat every now and then because the messages don't show up. Restream doesn't really have a lot of chose of games to update your streams in one, but rather having to go to each individual stream and change the game manually.

Capterra ★★★★★Restream - for the streamer who doesn't want to settle
I use Restream to direct my live video to multiple platforms. I use it to stream onto Twitch, Mixer and DLive at the same time. Pros: Restream offers livestreamers the ability to direct their stream to multiple platforms directly from their streaming software. It is simple to use, easy to setup with your software and offers many platforms for users to stream to, and keeping the list updated with new platforms as they become available. Cons: Considering it is free, the feature set is great. However, I would like the option to easily be able to create accounts and setup restream through the non-english streaming platforms it offers. As someone who only speaks english but would like to connect with those on Chinese/Korean streaming platforms, this does pose a difficulty for me. It would be a great feature for Restream to offer easy account setup on these platforms to use with Restream.

Capterra ★★★★★A Solid Option for Streaming to Multiple Outlets
Great product. Discovered it at the right time, and it has served our organization well with no issues thus far. Pros: We recently bought into Restream when our church services were forced to go online-only during the COVID lockdown. We previously were using Livestream. We still use it but have found Restream is more effective in streaming to other platforms like YouTube and Facebook. It also allows us to schedule pre-recorded events, but stream them as if they are "live." Cons: It's a little "clunky" on the backend in terms of interface navigation. Also, we have to use a third party provider to stream to Instagram Live. It'd be great if Restream could make that a built-in option.

Software Advice ★★★★★Restream platform review
Overall positive , even through our critical analysis we are very appreciative that a service of this nature exists and it has helped grow our platform and will continue to be used. Pros: This software allows content creators to reach many different viewers. It provides on centralized location to publicize what you are trying to stream and does it with ease and low latency. It also provides avenues such as social media awareness through twitter etc with posts and has options for chat. Cons: I think restream can continue to work on their infrastructure, there are too many times to speak of during a 25 hour stream weekly occurrence that one platform fails to distribute our stream. Also with the chat functions it is extremely delayed and as a content creator makes it difficult to communicate timely with our viewers , so we have to use other means of chat services . Great idea but room for improvements

Software Advice ★★★★★The best of the Streaming World
As a standard gaming/streamer, I will say that restream has given me the opportunity to get to the maximum audience, and the fact that they do try to make sure each source works (even when it's unsuccessful) consistently, makes them a "Must" use if you're a personal or professional streamer in the internet world. Pros: Basically, if you are a streamer of any sort, and you want to reach out as far as you can, Restreram.io is definitely the software for you. Easy to set up, easy to adapt and reach out to as many platforms as possible. Cons: The chat windows are not the most intuitive, so making sure your chat is up and running with a stream site that may / may not have API is not a sure thing. Losing a stream source may not become immediately noticeable, unless you're looking into the dashboard indepth.

G2Unreliable and inaccurate features
Restream is supposed to solve the problem of "RESTREAMING" my one single RTMP source to multiple RTMP sources across the web. In my specific case, I was on their top-tier plan and streaming to YouTube, Facebook and a custom Website with an RTMP ingest. Pros: Restream offers a simple ingest solution and a fast creation of channels. If you have a YouTube channel or a Twitch channel, then restream might be a good choice for you. Cons: The restream dashboard offers "stream health" analytics which are inaccurate and sometimes downright wrong. For example, the dashboard can tell you that you are "streaming" when in fact you are not. So, if you use restream to stream to multiple platforms, you better open your stream on every one of those platforms to make sure you are streaming because restream will always say "streaming" but when you look at your Facebook, YouTube and custom RTMP stream, it will be dead. To me, that is unacceptable, but it is not the worst part. When you reach out to their support, they will (every single time) tell you that it must be something you did wrong. As someone who does over three streams daily for multiple companies, this is just not the case. I use vMix Pro and do not mix up settings. I have a team of technicians at my side, and we broadcast from big studios. We are not just some person using a webcam in their bedroom or some amateur who might mix up a frame rate or video codec here and there.

★★★★★Perfect platform for online events
Restream allows us to stream our event to multiple social platforms with only a few clicks. We also benefit greatly from using the Studio when we host live panel discussions or fireside chats. Pros: Restream is great for streaming to multiple channels at the same time. The live studio is great as well, and the scheduling of videos is awesome, the event can go live without the audience knowing it's pre-recorded. Cons: Some channel integrations are a bit complicated, for example YouTube and Twitter - you have to create an "Event" on twitter for the stream to happen, it fails a lot of the time. The schedule event/video has been updated to better the LinkedIn integration but for our purposes and needs it actually made it worse. If you want to schedule a video you have to create an event and add the video at the same time without the possibility of changing the video later.

★★★★★Nice Experience
I keep having to connect my mixer account for some reason. It is sometimes asks me to review my mixer account every once and a while. Pros: I really just like the multi stream aspect of it. It is very smooth & intuitive. Cons: Titles Page is my issue. When you i am selecting a game, i cant just type in the game and it comes up automatically. Let's say "Anthem" for example. Because it is a low priority game, i always have to manually type it in for each of my platforms instead of Restream just letting it update all of my titles along with the game of my choosing automatically. So low priority games are my issue.

G2 ★★★★★Great for beginners in live-streaming
The problem Restream helped to solve was live streaming a weekly production online to Facebook and YouTube simultaneously. This allows church members who are unable to attend due to the pandemic, access to still experience church community, and stay up to date on the liturgy. Pros: I used this as a Technology Coordinator for a church congregation's Sunday service live-streaming. I liked that Restream allows you to stream simultaneously to multiple social media platforms from one user interface Cons: It was a bit difficult in the beginning learning the user interface, and it seemed like every time we logged in, there was some delay or issue with the password.

Overall we truly enjoy using it and without it we could not broadcast our services to those who are shut in, sick, or traveling. Pros: We really like how easy it was to set up our streams so that each week, with just the click of a button, we can broadcast our church service in real-time to both YouTube and Facebook at the same time! Cons: For this to work properly, we have to integrate it with another software for camera inputs and audio sync. It would be nice if their native camera feed and audio feed interface worked better.

Capterra ★★★★★Restream review
I have enjoyed it since I returned to it once again. Pros: The Livestudio framework they offer is a straightforward yet highlight rich framework to have the option to do live and recorded recordings. It additionally permits you to transfer prerecorded recordings as a component of a live stream. what likewise makes it marvelous is that, it permits you to stream to various stages at no expense. Cons: The nature of the livestream video is exceptionally subject to your own transmission capacity so regardless of whether utilizing it's anything but a recorded video, the quality isn't great, so it can't be utilized to make quality disconnected recordings, which it ought to have the option to. I dont like that the nearby recordings you transfer to stream live in reality actually come from your own machine and not from their worker despite the fact that it has been transferred, this implies that you are as yet restricted by your own transmission capacity. Contenders get round this by permitting any transferred recordings in excess of a couple of hours old to stream from their workers

It easily connects to other existing accounts. It let's you see chat from each channel or account. Easy to use on PC Cons: There is some added delay to the stream, but not bad.

Great customer service and great products but unfortunately bad business. Luckily [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] was spot on answering all my questions and assisting me with my requests. To elaborate on the business side - restream should def get a reality check. There are other services that do similar stuff but at a better price and are upfront with everything. It’s so disappointing to see scheduler isn’t included in restream plan and also restream has their logos even in a paid plan! Pros: Once set up, you can Stream in several Latvians at the same time. Cons: Restream aren’t upfront with their annoying logos on the stream even with a paid plan. Also, scheduler is a different subscription, not included in restream and quite expensive for what it does IMO.

★★★★★A decent software to livestream on multiple platforms!
We switched from streamyard to restream for conducting our annual event this year. While I personally enjoyed scheduling events in the beginning (the interface made it easier for me to figure my way around this software and quickly get the work done) but when we came to connecting it to our event platform stage, it was a hassle. We could only add 10 custom destinations at a time which made my work repetitive on a daily basis as we had many webinars on a single day. While that wasn't a lot of trouble but I had a better experience with streamyard in this aspect - I was able to create the desired number of custom destinations without any maximum cap limit. Pros: Restream is a good enough tool to live stream events on multiple platforms at once. It's easy to use, has a great user interface because of which it is very easy to get around this software. The support team is also quick to respond and that is a very helpful service from their end. My favorite feature, however, of this tool, that sets it apart from its competitors is the streaming monitor. It's great how you can monitor if the live stream is good even without entering the studio. This feature really makes things easy for the whole team. Cons: While it's a good software, this isn't perfect. For its features, I find it a bit expensive and that too with limited options. The second best variant only offers 10 custom destinations at a time which honestly isn't a lot, even for a small-medium scale organization. Even the top-most variant offers only 20 custom destinations, which makes it quite a task to organize simultaneous events. Hence, in terms of its pricing and the features that it offers, I would definitely go ahead with similar tools instead of this one.

Capterra ★★★★★Everything you need in a great tool, but expensive!
$2 Pros: Great interface with many features. Compatible with Zoom, OBS, XSplit, although I mostly use OBS or the pre-recorded videos with the scheduler. I think it's one of the most popular tools of this type in the field and it has almost everything you need. Even the Free plan is pretty generous, but there are limits to their features. It's great that it also has the option to stream to Facebook Groups, not just Facebook Pages, if you're into Facebook Group marketing. Another big advantage is that they have no bitrate limit. Many other platforms of this type have bitrate limits which lower the quality of the video. Great support as well. Cons: $3

Capterra ★★★★★Just something from a casual streamer
I really like using it and will definetely keep on streaming over your software. The biggest plus ist the free usage and if you try one making it even better, than it will be perfect. Pros: I really like the easy usage of your software. Just putting up all the streamkeys and nothing really more to be done to start streaming to all the sites i want. The overall quality is also very good, i think i only had 1 stream disconnect (where it was not my internets fault) and i streamed at least 400 times through restream. Cons: Well as good as the software may be, there are several things that really annoy me. One Problem i have is the restream chat desktop software. It crashes really often and when i say that i mean like every 2-3 streams when i am live for more than 2 hours. It is extremely annoying and also disturbs the overall experience my stream provides to me and the viewers. Another problem is, that sometimes it cant connect to twitch or youtube or has a really huge delay between those sites. Sure there are also things that your software can't influence but if twitch is delayed by 10 seconds and youtube by 40 i doubt that its just youtubes worse servers?

★★★★★Things could be added
For the most part it's been great to use. Just a few things I wish could be changed or added to the settings. Like if streaming to multiple platforms with with the chat we could select the ones we actually want displayed. As in I always have my Twitch on a separate window in OBS as that's my main platform I stream to and I wish restream I could turn Twitch chat off (or even individual turning on or off of any of them) and only show my FB & YouTube that way I wouldn't miss anyone chatting with those. Thry get lost in my Twitch even tho they are marked with the symbols for FB & YT. Then there's the issue of separating the audio. Restream doesn't have that, so everything with my sounds are on my VOD. That is the main reason I'm going to cancel my paid subscription with it.

Capterra ★★★★★The restreaming part is great, the video call part, not ready for primetime
Pros: You can stream to multiple platforms without issues. Record and schedule a call easily. The multiplatform chat is also great and useful. The exported audio is high quality. Cons: If you don't have a dedicated USB mic on a laptop, get ready to struggle with the audio configuration. Delays, audio cut offs, robotic voice, you know how it is. Most guests had a very painful experience getting everything to work on the actual video call. At first, the issue was only with a few guests using a phone, but then the issues were constant even with guests using a laptop with headphones. Don't bother with their support, you are better off using Zoom.

Capterra ★★★★★Branded comments on a paid-for tier? No thanks!
I set up restream to multicast our church services. The original setup was easy and straightforward. However once we started using the service we noticed that they were branding our video comments with their brnad name. Only by paying for a much more expensive tier can you stop this. Since we do not wish to show any commercial affiliation in our broadcasts we found this unacceptable and had to move to Castr.io Pros: It was easy to set up and use, and was natively supported by our streaming system. Cons: We had to abandon Restream when we realised that they add their own name to your video comments. That can only be removed by paying for a much more expsive tier. Other streaming services are cheaper, more responsive and do not brand your comments.

Software Advice ★★★★★It's great, but I'd like to see more...
Overall, I think Restream.io is a great product, with a vast amount of platforms you can stream to which makes disseminating content way easier, especially for small businesses and creator working on a low budget. Pros: I like the vast amount of different platforms you can stream to. I also like the ease of use of the product. One stream key and you're done. Cons: What I'd like to see is more platforms available on the service. I'd definitely like to also see Facebook Business streams implemented in the free version. Streaming to your own profile really doesn't make much of a difference as far as dissemination, because obviously way more people can follow a business page on Facebook than a personal profile.

I was so excited when I found it as a solution for streaming at a local charity organisation but had a not so happy experience streaming to Youtube and Facebook at the same time. The YouTube video split into multiple parts while streaming. However this is a while ago. If my experience changes on another try, I will update the review. Pros: - Web based, hence not platform dependent - Trial without credit card details - Easy to set up - Great UI Cons: - Performs poorly in low or fluctuating bandwidth conditions - Doesn't have a native app so we have to be dependant on third party apps for streaming from mobile

Cons: Upload stream sometimes isn't constant. This may be my ISP issue, however, I've notice when there's absolutely no error with my ISP, the Restream service starts to lose my connection/frames.

The experience was decent. I love the concept of Restream. If I had the time to figure out the tech issues I probably would have kept it, but it wasn't that necessary or worth it at the time. Pros: I love the concept and being able to streamline my video content all in one take. It was great for that and helped me simplify my process. Cons: I kept having audio issues and buffering. I changed my hardware and the streaming program but wasn't able to get better results so I didn't keep the program. Otherwise it would have been exactly what I needed.

★★★★★Good for one
Worked really well for me when I was only streaming to twitch. As soon as I decided to forgo affiliate and started multi-streaming it stopped working all together. Pros: Works pretty well on the solo channel of streaming to only say twitch Cons: As soon as you think of trying to stream across multiple platforms it looses usefulness, this may be a need to move to a higher paid tier to access that is not a good price point for only chat software.

Restream is a great product, and very advantageous in the way the world is going with online content. The platform speaks for itself and is the leader currently in online webinar software. Although the product is great, Initially I had a very bad experience with sales team, false statements, rudeness and lack of care of customer was felt. After leaving a negative review and attempting to contact senior support, I was able to finally get in contact with someone who was great. I received a formal apology and other benefits as courtesy. It's been mentioned that they will take on thoughts from what I shared to improve service in the future.

I use it for when I livestream. And I love it. Pros: I love the fact it can read out my comments. As a small Youtuber and Twitch streamer being able to hear your comments so you don't miss them when you are focused in game is great. The fact that both platform chats can be in one window is great. Cons: It tends to stop working during use if the chat does out for a certain period of time. Then you have to close out and reopen the program. Missed chat messages go unread because of it.

You can do better! Enhance the platform (Studio) to remember cameras, camera settings and audio settings so they don't have to be re-setup each time.

You're off to a good start but there's a lot of untapped potential...release some of those features and it will surely elevate your product to the next level!

Restream is one of the few platforms I tried to use for my Church's Online Streaming needs. I ultimately went with Restream for its ease of use and cost. I'm sure that if I could have gotten it to work properly, our streaming ability for the Church would have been amazing. Pros: I like the User Interface. It was simple enough to navigate. Restream has a simple way to connect each platform from which to stream. I liked how I can record live or upload a video for later publishing. Cons: With all of its benefits and abilities, I could not get Restream to connect to my computer/system in order to actually stream anything. When I chatted and ultimately called Restream, they were unable to fix my connection. Further, I had paid for the annual subscription, and even though we were working on my issue with connectivity for weeks, they would not refund my subscription without a lot of hassle.

G2 Rated 3.5/5Great Low Budget Streaming Platform - Pain to Setup Streams
We were looking to stream live Q&A sessions to our YouTube and LinkedIn communities Pros: - You can quickly enter the streaming room after a Stream is created. - Restream made connecting to LinkedIn and YouTube reasonably easy. - Restream seems to have an excellent Discord integration, but it's not something we used. Cons: - While we were using the product, it was a pain to set up the stream. You would have to go to YouTube and schedule a live streaming event. Then come back to Restream to connect the scheduled event to a Restream based streaming event. The process was relatively unintuitive. - To my knowledge, after using the service for four months. There is no way to invite multiple people onto your stream. It's just you. - Very limited customizability on the display of YouTube comments during a stream. This feature is something Streamyard does VERY well (we switched to them because of this).

Its user-friendly setup simplifies the process of live streaming and extracting files for further use on platforms like LinkedIn, YouTube, and Facebook. Pros: I find Restream highly valuable for my podcast and video content management. The platform's user-friendly interface is incredibly appreciated, which makes recording interviews with guests ahead of time a breeze. It seamlessly integrates with platforms like LinkedIn, YouTube, and Facebook, allowing me to easily livestream the prerecorded content. I appreciate how straightforward it is to extract audio and video files for repurposing content, enhancing the usability for creating diverse multimedia outputs. The $19 per month plan struck me as cost-effective, meeting all my basic functional needs without breaking the bank. Setting up Restream was a delight, as it was extraordinarily simple to connect to my social channels without any hassle. Restream efficiently addresses the need to record audio and video interviews and allows for livestreaming them later, adding convenience to my workflow. Cons: I'm frustrated with Restream because they don't allow me to store my recordings for more than fifteen days. This limitation forces me to export and then reupload the files to schedule a live event at a later date, which is time-consuming and annoying. Additionally, the video files are too large to reupload within the platform's limits, requiring me to find another program to condense the files. This process is not only cumbersome but also frustrating enough that I decided to cancel my Restream account. I asked them multiple times if they could do anything to help me but their only recommendations was that I upgrade from my $19/month plan to their $199/month plan so that I could store videos for 30 days instead of only 15. This is not feasible for a small business owner like me who doesn't need all the other functionality that comes with that large of a plan.

Capterra ★★★★★There are better free options
Pros: Being able to stream to multiple platforms at once was nice. An integrated chat was also nice. Just click one button and you were live. Cons: They charge to do what you can do for free with OBS and a little research. Ended up cutting it off pretty quickly

Dislike the software you said it free as it comes with 2 stream platform and can allow up to 3 people share screen and it say it comes with the command free and there not free you want me to paid I don't do business that lies about there products and the login function never works half of the time then it never connects to twitch as it keeps saying network error non stop and there nothing wrong on my end your software is garbage hell I rather use one studio than your platform.

★★★★★No customer support
They don't have any customer support to handle issues. The chat is useless and they leave you frustrated without any resolve to getting your billing fixed (they've been charging me twice a month) and help with streaming issues.

★★★★★If I could give Restream a half a star I would!
If I could give Restream a half a star, I would. The product, itself, is a great product. Thats IF IT WORKS!! One day, Im streaming to multiple platforms, the next day it doesnt work. I contacted them only to have their reps respond to me as if I was stupid. They placed the blame on me when I didn't add any type of protections to my computer after purchasing a year subscription to Restream. So, I was only able to use my year subscription for 4 months. I HIGHLY ADVISE anyone who's looking to purchase Restream to think twice because if you run into a problem, they will put the blame on you and will do nothing to rectify the issue! On top of that, my year subscription that I purchased in July of 2025 is set to automatically renew (According to their most recent email). It doesn't have a place I cancel it or anything. Restream is looking more and more like a scam to take your money than it is to keep you streaming! BUYER BEWARE!!!!

★★★★★Please keep restream professional - Have been streaming for years using…
Have been streaming for years using restream, for the first time they have added a pumpkin icon where our assets are - preloaded videos and images are, now I guessed where it was, but for those on the team who may not be able to discern it clearly - this was a problem, the platform had especial glitches today, freezing when the livestream was inadvertently ended and not reverting to the Orange/Red 'Go Live now', so we would know it had stopped streaming. Please keep the platform professional with consistent icons, it is not necessary to make the functional icons seasonal. We have seen the Christmas overlays last year, thank you. However some users like ourselves are using restream for corporate purposes in a team setting.

★★★★★I used them everyday for more than one…
I used them everyday for more than one year and I know much about restream.io. It seems they have much traffic from the UK that it take for ever to let you sign in to the service. We stream from different countries including in europe and I noticed the login issue only from inside the UK. Platform always miss things up, Chat integration will not work. video will not start, user syncing issues. Logo appears to you but not in youtube and loads of other problems. Their customer service are quite fast and nice unless it's a core problem then that act like novice and do time wasting tactics so you'll give up before they admit the problem. They'll ask for endless number of reports and snaps just so tire you because they know about the issue and have no way to resolve it. In general they are good but very unstable. and for the PR who will reposnd to this asking me to speak to them for solutions, I already did and willing to have a chat to demostrate all issues I suffer from. Please don't respond with the same template. find my phone number from your platform and give me a ring.

★★★★★The service is fine when it works
The service is fine when it works, but as others have mentioned, their customer service is terrible. Their knee jerk response is to blame the customer for everything. We were able to prove multiple dropouts from the server and the customer service agent became defensive. They have a major hangup about admitting fault and will go to ridiculous lengths to do it. You can also see this in their responses to reviews - note use of soft language such as "We are sorry you FEEL..." "We can UNDERSTAND how that MIGHT be FRUSTRATING..." All very careful language designed to deflect blame with a patronizing tone. They do this with large broadcast entities, too. The company seems to be staffed by 22 year olds whose parents never told them no, as they cannot handle being corrected. They then try and use "handling" techniques. If you tell them that it isn't up for discussion they will send emails at all hours of the night arguing hoping you will just give up. This is a technique and is taught. My advice: don't give these kids what they want. Push the issue, it is the only way they'll learn. Notice how all the responses are patronizing - they are counting on you to get angry so they can more easily point the finger at you. I am sure they will put a similar soft patronizing response to this review - they don't ever read what is said as they are too busy arguing that they are right when they aren't. :-) Eventually there will be a competitive service to Restream. When that happens, Restream will either have to adapt or they will go out of business. (I am sure that Restream will say "We don't have a customer with that name..." - using a friend's FB account as I don't use social media and they are fine with it.)

★★★★★Predatory business, HORRIBLE support
Yes, 100% agree with the other negagtive comments. PREDATORY business practice, The most unprofessional and condescending 'support' chat I've ever had. I used to be a GREAT fan of restream until I started PAYING them money, and then had to deal with their support team. They wasted SO much of my time, Were constantly talking down to me, NEVER addressed any of my problems. So within TWO conversations with the support team, They managed to turn me from a FAN - who recommended Restream to all his friends to now a rather ANGRY ex-customer.

★★★★★They need new developers!!
Honestly, this review is not because Restream sucks as software. I really enjoy using it. Helpdesk is also very quick with responding. The reason for the one star is because I addressed a problem for MONTHS now: Short subtitles are not working properly and make your shorts look like you are unprofessional because they won't align properly. This sounds like an easy problem to fix, yet they fail to do this. If I knew a competitor that did the same things I would leave Restream just because this one problem for sure. One star review in the hope this gets attention. I will delete it when it get fixed.

★★★★★Tech guy on vacation... I wish i was a tech guy at restream...
I had an issue with connecting daily motion for an event created on restream and I feel I had to contact the customer support 10 times, and they were always asking me same questions, then they said the tech guy was on vacation. I pay 40 USD per month to have something that doesn't work, that is 480 USD for a service for which the tech guy is on vacation... not cool. I'm tired, I am a creative, I use restream to restream my content and I pay for it to work. I don't have time to try to figure out what are the issues between the tech guy on vacation and the customer support who keeps asking me same questions without fixing the issue. If you advertise a service that is supposed to broadcast everywhere, you need to be a little more clear about what you offer an make it work. You may want to warn the clients that the client will often have a lot of trouble to make it work : not because the client is stupid but simply because the service was not designed properly. If the tech guy is on vacation, then you need a replacement, I work 365 days a year and I don't have time for vacation. My business is everything and all these tech people who are not able to make things work are really really annoying me. If I provided that kind of quality of service to my clients, I would have a horrible reputation. Make it work or don't advertise something that does not work. Thanks

I found it to be a horrible platform Service. Had to pay $500.00 upfront for a full year. Kept it for only 2 months because streaming our services with RESTREAM had many ‘hiccups’ and problems. We had better streaming without it!! It was so bad I cancelled the service after only 2 months! THEN THEY TELL ME THERE WILL BE NO REFUND AND IF I DECIDE TO REJOIN THEY WOULD OFFERED ME A ‘SPECIAL’ OFFER TO REJOIN!!!😡😡😡😡😡😡😡 I WOULD NEVER EVER USE RESTREAM AGAIN! SAVE YOUR MONEY!

I purchased a year subscription to Restream in July 2025! In October, the product STOPPED WORKING! When I tried to resolve this issue, restream treated me as if it was MY COMPUTER that was the issue! Even when I logged on to restream on my laptop, it had the same issues. I told them that and they continued to blame me and my internet connection! They refused to give me my money back! I would NOT reccomend this product to ANYONE! The customer service is extremely BAD and they will make you feel like the idiot when its their product that is faulty!

★★★★★Poor Customer Service and Policy
It's pretty dumb that this company doesn't have a refund policy regarding the automatic charge. I have been charged today with the last money that I have and they do not want to refund it because I forgot to cancel the subscription. They should have at least have a 3 days refund policy when it comes to automatic charges like this because there are people who really need their money and there are times that people forget what subscriptions they have on other websites. Their Customer Services turnaround time regarding escalations is pretty poor. 1-2 days? really? You have a live chat available 24/7 and there's no one to supervise regarding escalation? I have a chat active with the agent named "Cray" and it looks like he's ignoring my messages. I know how the Crisp live chat works and I know Multiple agents can see my chat and no one is responding. Is that how you treat your customers? I do not recommend this company to anyone who likes to go live on multiple platforms.

Capterra ★★★★★Restream Cheated Me
It was great until it wasn't and then they cheated me. Pros: Loved the platform when it worked. It was easy to use for the user. Cons: Loved the platform when it worked. When it had glitches they could not fix they refused to refund half of my money when half the year had expired. I had to cancel and go to StreamYard who did Not have the same problems. Our guests had problems getting the broadcast often because the sign on was confusing for them. It caused problems. I am going to American Express Platinum and filing a complaint bad business practices.

★★★★★Unethical Subscription and Refund Practices
WARNING! I canceled my subscription on the same day I was charged, and Restream still refuses to refund me. Instead of giving my money back, they offered me “Restream credit” to use in the future… Why would I want credit for a service I already canceled? This is a shady practice: most subscription-based platforms offer same-day refunds. Stripe allows it. So do Netflix, Spotify, and others. But Restream hides behind a restrictive refund policy buried in fine print, and then tries to patch it up with useless internal credits. If you're considering signing up—think twice. If anything goes wrong, you’ll be stuck. And worse, they make it seem like everything’s handled, only to tell you later: “No refund for you.” This isn’t just about money. It’s about transparency, ethics, and respecting your customers. Very disappointing experience. Never using them again.

after using them for several months and loving them, my business evolved no longer needing their services. after cancelling they contiued to charge me $239/mo so I attempted to delete my account. they said I'm not currently able to. I attempted to delete my payment method. they said "it's not allowed" after nearly 2 hrs of customer service chat there's still no solution to cancel as they say "it must be done on my end" so in short - great service... until you need to cancel one day. then you're stuck

Trustpilot ★★★★★Pathetic Experience - Do not go with them!
I had a pathetic experience with Restream. I purchased their standard plan for the full year and started facing issues and tried to post them to their support agents who did not resolve in the right way (pathetic support experience). Finally after 4 months I requested for a prorated refund which they denied. I will advise users not to go with Restream or atleast be on their monthly plan and not go for annual plan.

I had deactivated this account months ago for the lack of quality customer service, poor recording quality and lack of security. On Monday, October 25th, I was a guest on a show that uses this service. On Friday, I received an invoice from restream in the amount of $49.00 this was unauthorized, Iam not a customer. Thus is fraudulent activity which I'm reporting to the BBB and need be to the appropriate law.

Their customer service is very unsupportive and their business model is very predatory. I got the service. It did not work for me and they claimed it wasn’t an issue in their end but on mine, okay fine I’ll just cancel I’ll take the one month payment as a loss. But they KEPT CHARGING ME. They refused to give me a refund and I can’t take my debit card off of their platform. I have had to resort to disputing the purchase in order to get my money back. I would never use this service again.

WARNING #1: Software doesn't work for TikTok Live as it requires a stream key and even when entered - still doesn't work. WARNING #2: I tried to cancel my subscription, but my card was charged again the next month. Untransparent cancellation process. Contacted billing support to try to amicably solve the issue as I did not log into my account AT ALL during the "subscription" period, but was told it was a non-refundable charge. Dishonest business. Beware.
