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 Alternatives considered [Streamyard](https://www.capterra.com/p/213044/StreamYard/)[Castr](https://www.capterra.com/p/187026/Castr/) Reason for choosing Restream Restream has a very intuitive live stream system which will hopefully keep improving.

Product and Program Lead E-Learning Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Streaming Service That Gets The Job Done" August 10, 2021 4.0 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).

That proved to be true. Review Source Response from Restream August 16, 2021 Hello Eirik, Thank you for the review!

Streamer Computer Games Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "There are better free options" June 20, 2025 2.0 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 Alternatives considered [OBS Studio](https://www.capterra.com/p/164144/OBS/) Reason for choosing Restream Didn't seem like OBS could do it, but with a little research, it actually can do I switched back Review Source TT Trevor T. President of Creative Media Production Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Simulcast Your Life, Easy" February 15, 2024 5.0 Love it! Use it for everything, multiple times per day for livestreaming, recording. Pros Easy to use, easy to scale, easy to invite others to join on-screen. Cons That I can't adjust video boxes / sizes. It degrades viewer experience.

Review Source SL Steluta L. CEO & Founder Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "A good live streaming tool that still needs some work." August 30, 2022 4.0 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. Alternatives considered [Streamyard](https://www.capterra.com/p/213044/StreamYard/) Reason for choosing Restream We went with Restream as it was the first we got to try out. Review Source JM Javier M. Comedian Entertainment Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "My Restream Review after 1 year" March 17, 2022 4.0 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 Alternatives considered [Castr](https://www.capterra.com/p/187026/Castr/) Reason for choosing Restream The video and streaming quality, and the overall chat integration with Ecamm Switched from [Streamyard](https://www.capterra.com/p/213044/StreamYard/) I never felt comfortable with the Streamyard graphics and video quality. Overall don't feel comfortable with browser-based streaming platforms Review Source MD Manuel D. Podcaster Telecommunications Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "The restreaming part is great, the video call part, not ready for primetime " September 19, 2022 3.0 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. Alternatives considered [Zoom Workplace](https://www.capterra.com/p/144037/Zoom-Video-Conferencing/)[Streamyard](https://www.capterra.com/p/213044/StreamYard/) Reason for choosing Restream Had everything in one place Switched from [Zoom Workplace](https://www.capterra.com/p/144037/Zoom-Video-Conferencing/) Easier integration with live streaming platforms. Review Source Jacobo R. CONTENT PRODUCER Entertainment Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Easy to use with great features" January 22, 2020 4.0 I like it, I've been using it for a long, long time and I really like this product Pros It's an amazing tool for simulcasting, easy to use and powerful tools and features like metrics, video embed, and others. Cons Lack of options while working with scheduled Facebook live streamings. You can't add the chat to their multiple chat service. Also, I HATE THE BRANDING ADDED TO THE STREAMS, even when you are paying for the service. I really find it annoying. Switched from [Castr](https://www.capterra.com/p/187026/Castr/) The extra features, analytics, web video embed, and the multi chat. (Even when this is not working with scheduled fb live streams) Review Source Keith V. Floor clerk Apparel & Fashion Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "An extremely useful streaming tool!" November 12, 2019 5.0 I have been extremely satisfied with Restream as it provides a SUPER EASY WAY to split your stream. The software is ultra easy to use and has great instructions. Pros This software is a great way to split your LIVE STREAM among many different streaming services! Cons If you are partnered or affiliated with Twitch, Mixer, YouTube, etc... you are REQUIRED to stream exclusively to that service. Alternatives considered [XSplit Broadcaster](https://www.capterra.com/p/164141/XSplit-Broadcaster/) Reason for choosing Restream XSplit is a resource hog where as Restream is a web based solution which takes much of the processing away from your computer and puts it on Reastream. THEY DO THE HARD WORK SO YOUR COMPUTER DOESN'T HAVE TO! Review Source Heather B. Owner Photography Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great Software" January 13, 2021 5.0 Highly recommended to companies that stream often. For the casual user, I didn’t find the cost justifiable. Pros The user interface was easy to use and navigate. Streaming and RTMP was easy to connect and the streaming quality was great. I used it with OBS and it worked great. Compared to other software, this worked the best! Cons For me I’m a casual user, maybe a couple times per month, so the cost wasn’t justifiable for my company. The biggest issue for me though was the chat interface, it looked cheap and way too off brand for me. Switched from [Be.Live](https://www.capterra.com/p/210741/Be-Live/) The streaming quality for be.live was not good at all and streaming would drop a lot. Review Source JB João B. New Product Designer Graphic Design Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Restream: The starting point for anyone and everyone" July 4, 2023 4.0 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. Review Source MK Manasseh K. Technical Director Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Restream provides the best streaming services for simultaneous multi-platform streaming." September 14, 2023 5.0 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. Switched from [Be.Live](https://www.capterra.com/p/210741/Be-Live/) Better videos quality! Review Source TS Thea S. Freelancer Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Decorate your work with Restream. Gives the enlightenment you need." November 28, 2023 5.0 Best choice. Restream has by far the best services. Quick customization and smooth operations. Pros Restream has improved my relationship with colleagues and clients. I have an opportunity to engage with them in real-time. At personal level, Restream offers the best control and improves my visibility online. It is extremely easy to use and understand. Restream blends fast and easily with other tools. Cons I have used Restream well without any challenges. It is straight forward and fast. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Media personnel Broadcast Media Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Restream review" June 23, 2021 4.0 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 Reason for choosing Restream It took care of business with minimal measure of PC handling. Review Source Josh E. Director of Administration Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Always New There Was Another Way" November 5, 2022 4.0 Restream has provided an excellent experience for our team. Pros Restream made our challenges possible by providing simple instructions and many options to get our broadcast out to different platforms. Restream is also an affordable product. Cons We have not found anything noticeable about this product that we did not like. Review Source DS Der S. Designer / Youtuber / Student, what ever you want Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Restream, awesome tool for better streams, for growing a bigger audience with some smaller bugs" November 12, 2019 4.0 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? Reason for choosing Restream I've seen it on other streamers and I haven't found a good alternative. But that doesn't mean that Restream is bad, on the contrary. I can't imagine to stream without Restream. A platform alone (twitch or Youtube) would just be boring. Review Source KK Kasey K. Pastor Religious Institutions Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "ReStream was a simple and affordable solution" May 24, 2022 4.0 We have been very pleased with Restreama ease of use and quality. Pros Restream is an easy to use program to help you stream to multiple outlets. It is easy to setup and quick to learn. Cons Our only issue was when our prepaid credit ran out and we did not get the notice. Reason for choosing Restream Ease of use and price Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Twitch/Youtube Streamer Media Production Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Restreaming Helps You Reach Your Audience Better" July 16, 2022 5.0 Pros I have been using Restream to simultaneously broadcast my video game streams to Twitch and Youtube for years now and it keeps getting better! Cons The only downside is that sometimes the game and titles of the broadcast don't match up on each platform so you may have to adjust things on each site before you get started. Review Source JT Joshua T. Online Tutor Arts and Crafts Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Live Streaming Essential! 🏆" November 27, 2019 5.0 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! Review Source CS Charles S. Producer Media Production Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Everything I look for in software as a service" September 20, 2020 5.0 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. Reason for choosing Restream I had used Restream previously to stream to FacebookLive and Periscope. It worked well, so I thought let's see what Restream Studio can do. And it was great. Review Source Sahakanush S. Medical student Medical Practice Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Restream is amazing for streaming our medical programs" April 5, 2019 5.0 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. Review Source LL Lawrence L. Marketing Director Entertainment Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Good product Bad People" August 16, 2023 2.0 A decent product with a bad business model. Pros I liked that multiple YouTube channels can be selected to stream to at once. Cons I enjoy the product. But I had a terrible time dealing with customer service. No reminder before recharging for a year. We have selected a new service and I reached out to cancel on the same day we were billed. They are refusing my request to cancel. Very upsetting. Smells of desperation on their end. Review Source MS MikeToon S. CEO Design Used the software for: 2+ years ### "You can't go wrong with Restream" November 24, 2023 5.0 All in all, a great tool for multi-streaming, especially if your business relies on reaching multiple audiences from different social media networks. Pros If you're managing multiple social media accounts and wish to livestream all at once, then Restream is your go-to Tool! With one device, we can stream to all of our social media! Cons Sometimes, there are considerable delays on certain social media platforms, alongside with frame drops. Review Source Jamie D. Social Media Coordinator Computer Games Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Fantastic Software, works as intended and does everything it should." November 15, 2019 5.0 Restream has made streaming so much easier. It's quickened the ability to start and change the stream on the go and is just amazing. I would highly recommend to everyone! Pros The thing I love most about Restream is the simplicity in changing your titles & games on each site. The fact that you can do it with generally, two clicks, is amazing! Also, all your chats in the one window - integrated into OBS. Great! Cons Can't really say there is anything I dislike. I would love to be able to stream to a Facebook page without having to pay for it though. Get rid of Facebook personal page and replace it with a Facebook page. Review Source KM Karel M. Freelancer Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "My Restream Review" July 4, 2022 5.0 I would highly recommend to streamers who are trying to build a community across different social channels. Pros I love this software because of its ability to live stream to multiple channels at once as well as having multiple chats open. I have only really used the basic version of this software but I am thinking about upgrading to the other versions that offer more features. Cons I do not have any real issues with the software as it is one of the few that allows a user to stream to multiple channels at once.
