What do you like best about Restream?

SO happy that I'm using Restream! Streaming to 30+ platforms with a touch of a button! Simple setup for an incredibly customizable, innovative and powerful program! I don’t know why I haven’t used it earlier.

What I like about Restream

1. The ability to stream to more than 30 platforms

2. The Restream Chat feature

3. The Analytics

4. Real-time channel toggling

5. Restream Monitor

I used to stream to Mixer, Twitch and YouTube at the same time and Restream was the best service for doing so. Due to it, I don’t have to choose only one platform for streaming my content.

Restream is easy to use and they are constantly updating the features, making improvements. As I stream to three platforms at once, I have lots of viewers and commenters from all these three platforms. To keep the communication going, I am using Restream Chat to monitor and reply to comments from Mixer, Twitch and YouTube.

OBS integration and social media announcement post setup are two easy integrations I would like to point out. Restream makes using the services and features really easy, with minimal effort or issues.

I used Restream for almost two years and will be using it again in the future, when I come back to creating live video content. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Restream?

Initially, when I wanted to stream to Facebook, too, the Live Event setup rarely worked with any issue. Besides, I had to pay for all Facebook features. I now know that streaming to Facebook groups and personal pages is free but haven’t tried going live on this platform yet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Restream:

If you need to stream to several destinations, communicate with your viewers, build audience in multiple platfroms, I highly recommend Restream. It’s really easy to use and be productive on your live streams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Restream solving and how is that benefiting you?

I saved time on building my audience on three different platforms. I stayed connected with my viewers and kept track of their comments Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Restream?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Restream?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Restream solving and how is that benefiting you?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Restream?

I like the User Interface. It was simple enough to navigate. Restream has a simple way to connect each platform from which to stream. I liked how I can record live or upload a video for later publishing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Restream?

With all of its benefits and abilities, I could not get Restream to connect to my computer/system in order to actually stream anything. When I chatted and ultimately called Restream, they were unable to fix my connection. Further, I had paid for the annual subscription, and even though we were working on my issue with connectivity for weeks, they would not refund my subscription without a lot of hassle.

What problems is Restream solving and how is that benefiting you?

Restream is one of the few platforms I tried to use for my Church's Online Streaming needs. I ultimately went with Restream for its ease of use and cost. I'm sure that if I could have gotten it to work properly, our streaming ability for the Church would have been amazing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Restream?

The well-established and solid functionality of the tool, started out when multistreaming was devoted to the gaming industry and one could figure out what the need was to be able to stream to multiple Facebook pages and then youtube! They have continuously improved the platform and made it more easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Restream?

I personally don't agree with their pricing policy, its become prohibitive to scale up in their improvements and new features, while they have kept the casual and trendy appearance it feels as if they have moved towards a more corporate/solid business strategy without keeping in mind the smaller creator Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Restream:

if budget is not an issue for you and yo like the ease of use, go straight to Restream! It is a well established and incredibly stable platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Restream solving and how is that benefiting you?

At the time I was using it presented the unique solution for small-time content producers and influencers to stream one piece of content into multiple platforms at a time without having to worry about "hurting" each platform's natural algorithm. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
