SplitCam Multistream
SplitCam Multistream sends one live stream from a device to multiple platforms at the same time. The maker lists more than 84 preconfigured destinations and support for custom RTMP or RTMPS endpoints. Streams go directly from the user’s machine to each platform, without a cloud middleman. Each destination can have its own bitrate, resolution, and framerate, while an upload-speed test checks whether the connection can handle selected rates. If one destination drops, SplitCam tries to reconnect while others continue. The maker says up to eight destinations work comfortably; higher counts depend on CPU, GPU, and upload bandwidth. Scenes, sources, a virtual camera, AI background removal, and an audio mixer are included. Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android are supported, with resolutions up to 4K. The free plan has no watermark or subscription.
