Restream Reviews & Product Details

Multistreaming. It was one of the first of multistream to different RTMPs.

Not enough audiovisual realization features. Far enough from their competitors

Audiovisual realization

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.

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.

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.

how easy is to set up the broadcast for multiple platforms and you can see how many views you are getting

I do not like that is not a free software you need to pay for suscribtion

The benefit are that you can stream to Facebook and youtube at the same time, and if you want to bring a guest to be in the broadcast, you can also have that option

Easy to set up, and once it's ready, you can stream live to multiple channels at the same time. You can also see and respond to comments and questions from all of the channels while you're live.

Set up could be a bit easier, but it's not too bad.

No problems. Best feature is the ability to stream to multiple channels at once, and not have to take the time to repost.

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.

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.

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.

I really just like the multi stream aspect of it. It is very smooth & intuitive.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Restream is good for having live chat for business and is good for streaming to YouTube and twitch.

The only issues with restream is that there does seem to be a slight delay that can sometimes be as long as minutes becoming a larger issue

Restream allows for good streaming to YouTube in order to advance marketing and our company outreach/Pr.

Back-end with good UX design so you can easily create an event.

Customer support is the worst I ever talked to. They made our Linkedin Webinar a total disaster.

Didn't solve any problem. It created me a lot.
