In their own words
Restream
Restream lets users create videos, livestream across multiple social platforms and interact with viewers. Users can go live from a browser, use the web-based Studio or connect streaming software such as OBS and Zoom. Studio offers graphics, viewer comments and guest invitations; Restream Chat gathers comments from connected platforms in one place. Upload & Stream schedules recorded video to broadcast live, including while the user is offline. Clips can turn moments from streams and videos into short-form content with framing and captions. Restream supports more than 30 destinations, plus custom RTMP channels and integrations including YouTube, Facebook, X, LinkedIn, TikTok, Instagram, Kick and Vimeo. Cloud recordings are available online for access and sharing; listed plans allow 6 to 10 hours per stream. The free plan streams to two channels at once and includes Restream branding. Standard costs $19 a month for three channels without branding; Professional costs $49 a month and Business costs $239 a month. Annual pricing saves 20%. Studio screen sharing works in desktop browsers, not mobile browsers.
