I apparently signed up for a paid subscription a few years ago. Upon going back through my old emails, I see it never worked properly. They charged me for the service that I never utilized. Now I tried again, realized it still wouldn't work for me, and they refuse to honor the 7-day refund after 1 day because they say I was a paid subscriber before. No way to call either. Pros The ability to stream to multiple platforms Cons It never worked correctly. I tried twice before, but stupidly decided to try again. They say they have a 7-day refund policy, but they will not honor it Review Source JZ James Z. President Automotive Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Restream Cheated Me" June 5, 2024 1.0 It was great until it wasn't and then they cheated me. Pros Loved the platform when it worked. It was easy to use for the user. Cons Loved the platform when it worked. When it had glitches they could not fix they refused to refund half of my money when half the year had expired. I had to cancel and go to StreamYard who did Not have the same problems. Our guests had problems getting the broadcast often because the sign on was confusing for them. It caused problems. I am going to American Express Platinum and filing a complaint bad business practices. Review Source Oladotun F.

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 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 Obed C. Director of Media Center Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The best Multistream Service" April 20, 2021 5.0 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. Reason for choosing Restream UI is confusing and Restream has more features compared to Castr.io Review Source KL Kai L. Animation Director Animation Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The only way to stream" November 13, 2019 5.0 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.

October 29, 2023 5.0 With this software you can easily interact with your audience in real ltime and drive action in your live stream.For us content creators this is the most incredible software to use. Pros With Restream you can comfortably stream in different platforms at once,it is easy to use and create clear and smooth videos.It is coed to perfection nothing less. Cons No cons about it.I absolutely love everything about it. Switched from [Ecamm Live](https://www.capterra.com/p/196795/Ecamm-Live/)[TikTok](https://www.capterra.com/p/237591/TikTok/) Wanted the best for me.I was looking for a software which would help me take my brand to another level. Review Source Simon M. Creative Head Media Production Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "The #1 multi-platform streaming service! You won't look back, EVER!" May 15, 2021 5.0 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. Review Source Michelle M. Independent Consultant Internet Used the software for: 2+ years ### "It Used To Be Free But..." November 12, 2022 5.0 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.

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.

Streamer Online Media Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Build a Community Across Multiple Platforms!" November 12, 2019 5.0 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! Review Source JS Jack S. Prophet Religious Institutions Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "It helps get more viewers and engagement live when you know how to use it! " September 13, 2022 5.0 Great app, with great potential that keep shining and let people have a could based studio! Pros Restream will make you win the world by engaging with your audience! Brand your own channel with graphics, color, background, and lower third. Give it a trial on their free version and see if it fit you! Cons The con was that their link was appearing on all stream and you supposed to remove it manually! Switched from [OBS Studio](https://www.capterra.com/p/164144/OBS/) I could use many options in restream! Review Source Victory E. CEO Writing and Editing Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A unique instrument for my streaming." August 21, 2023 5.0 The ability to stream across several platforms, use studio tools, numerous customizations. My life seems less stressful because of its ease of use. Pros It is really simple to use and very user-friendly. It is linked to every streaming website I use. When using the same platform, it is possible to connect to numerous accounts and sites at once. Cons I am unable to suspend the conversation and resume it. The challenging card payment process is also a hassle. Review Source Yann I. Consultant Online Media Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "A straightforward way to go live on multiple social media platforms at the same time" May 14, 2021 5.0 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. Review Source AG Austin G. Creative Streamer Graphic Design Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The software you need to be seen!" November 12, 2019 4.0 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. Alternatives considered [XSplit Broadcaster](https://www.capterra.com/p/164141/XSplit-Broadcaster/) Reason for choosing Restream The savings as well as the phenomenal and easy to use UI, tech support and general care that the Restream team takes with it's users.

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.

Cons I like all the features but i have noticed some delays in stream synchronization across various platforms. 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 JB Jonathan B. Level designer Sr Computer Games Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Free multi platform streaming solution" November 12, 2019 5.0 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. Reason for choosing Restream see answers above. Switched from [Castr](https://www.capterra.com/p/187026/Castr/) I had an issue with Restream, losing frames and having unstable connexion then I switched to Castr, which was working well until to decide to go as a paying service for everyone. I then switched back to Restream.

You can be up and running within 1-2 days. They also always seem to be adding a lot of new integrations. Cons The interface can be a bit busy. There is also a slight learning curve if you're switching between similar live-streaming platforms, but nothing too challenging. I wish my plan from AppSumo carried over into the current version of their software. Review Source FM Fidelis M.

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 ES Eve S. Live Streamer Entertainment Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "One Happy Streamer" November 20, 2019 4.0 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. Reason for choosing Restream Honestly, I don't know of any sites/programs that do what Restream does. I was quite elated to find there was a site capable of doing that. 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.
