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.

Capterra ★★★★★Great all-in-one production + multiplatform streaming tool.
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.

Capterra ★★★★★Streaming to multiple sources made EASY!
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.

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!

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.

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.

Overall i love using restream has helped me to get noticed on alot of social media like twitch mixer ect and i love i dont loose alot od cpu usage thanks for coming out with this program Pros: Its a good program that doesnt take up alot of cpu usage i like that i can mutiple platforms and not have to worry about my computer crashing on me while i stream and its very easy to use not complicated at all also like the chat screen that comes with it and how it works with most platforms Cons: Has an issue sometimes with not connecting to some of the platforms and the chat has issues with collecting all the platforms

★★★★★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.

Capterra ★★★★★Restream is Useful
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.

Capterra ★★★★★The Best Way to Stream!
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've started with Restream and I appreciate them for allowing us to re-broadcast our stream to many different platforms. Which Means Pros: I love how I can dial in all my stream platforms and set them up once!! So that when I go live, I don't have to struggle to remember my rmtps or those broadcast pass or keys. 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. Especially when you can see all the chat's in one location!! =) Cons: Nothing, Really. Or I just can't think of one at the moment.

Pros: Loving being able to reach out and stream to many different platforms, so I can get discovered quicker!! It works amazingly and I’m very pleased!! I currently stream to Twitch, Mixer and DLive as of right now while using Restream!! Restream is the only way that it can make it happen!!

Capterra ★★★★★Restream is the Best
I have only great things to say about Restream. The pros of the product so outweigh the cons that the cons actually become fairly irrelevant Pros: I use Restream to broadcast my livestreams to 4 different platforms. Its easy to set up and simple. The combined chat feature and Chat Bot put all my viewers comments into a single chat window so I don't have to have multiple stream chats open to catch everyone's messages. Cons: Streaming to my Facebook Page costs $$ but streaming to my personal page doesn't.

Restream to multiple platforms even for free, no ads, no bs Great servers for restreaming, I love it Easy to change titles and games on streams Cons: Gotta pay to stream to facebook pages, I understand gotta make money Sometimes there's some congestion with the servers but it clears up No way to change the title of the game to something not in the tops games list, so you have to type it in.

Capterra ★★★★★Great for multistreaming
Very convenient, allowing to expand your broadcasts to more than just one platform. Pros: Provides the ability to multistream to a large selection of broadcasting and social platforms such as Twitch, YouTube, Mixer, Periscope and Facebook, to name a few. Provides a chat interface that includes all your platforms and even allows chatters across different platforms to chat together with the relay included. Cons: Restrictions with Facebook broadcasting, only allowing the ability to stream to a personal account on the free version, and doesn't provide the ability to chat with them either. Can't use a Facebook page while using the free version.

Capterra ★★★★★Digital artist woes turned to joy
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.

Capterra ★★★★★It’s a streamers toolbox
I’ve been using Restream for years and it’s always been pretty solid. Very few bugs and if there ever is they are on top of it. Pros: Being able to broadcast to all platforms is nice and it adds some hidden features like being able to test your stream by turning off all channels. 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. The old chat also had a bot that is not present in the new app. There also used to be a way to view your stream health on all platforms but I can’t seem to find it anymore.

It has worked flawlessly. It has given us no problems at all. I love this program. Pros: I loved the price and the ease of use. I can just set it up one time if I want and it works and integrates with any streaming software/hardware. Cons: I think there can be more features. 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. I don't like editing my Title every week.

Capterra ★★★★★Reaching More Eyes In More Places Made Easy
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. My audience grew every single time I used Restream. Pros: With Restream it's so easy to setup streaming to so many sights and when you have done the first setup that's it you are done. 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 have no issues with Restream at all just the Mixer API needing to be re-activated everyday and every other days. That's annoying.

I love everything about it. I do wish that the Twitch Notifications that pop up in the twitch chat (Subs,Bits,ect) would pop up in the RestreamIO chat. I usually just have to look at my recent notifications to see it. That’s the only down side and it’s not even that bad Pros: This program works great for what I need it to do. I currently stream on Twitch and YouTube and with RestreamIO it’s so easy to do it and helps so much with the RestreamIO chat as well. I love it. 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.

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 .

Overall, it's been good but not perfect. I am hoping to try FTL with mixer and see if delay works out better. 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. Cons: It's a little pricey to level up just to get their info, tag off of whatever channel you're sending to. The delay sometimes feels unacceptable. We've had times where it was almost 30 seconds.

Pros: Honestly so easy to use. You can also very easily add branded graphics either behind your video or as an overlay. You can also pull audience comments onto the screen LIVE. 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.

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.

Capterra ★★★★★The software you need to be seen!
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. Cons: I experience occasional disconnects from the server side but this could also be a problem with the platform being connected to.

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.

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)

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.

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

Has all the necessary functions such as video embedding and emailed viewer metrics. Cons: Unstable internet can seriously affect the stream, and sometimes the program glitches out and requires you to close it.

Also, I HATE THE BRANDING ADDED TO THE STREAMS, even when you are paying for the service. I really find it annoying.

Capterra ★★★★★Great products, great customer service and bad business
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.

So far I've been pleased with Restream. It has done exactly what I needed it to, output one source to multiple destinations. Pros: It is nice being able to send a stream to one location and then have it simultaneously output it to everywhere I need. I like that it interfaces with OBS and allows me to monitor everything before it uploads to their servers. Cons: Scheduling a live stream can be a bit clunky and difficult to navigate your way through. I'm still learning my way around the software though.

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?

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.

★★★★★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.
