What do you like best about Restream?

Restream is great for streaming to multiple channels at the same time. The live studio is great as well, and the scheduling of videos is awesome, the event can go live without the audience knowing it's pre-recorded. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Restream?

Some channel integrations are a bit complicated, for example YouTube and Twitter - you have to create an "Event" on twitter for the stream to happen, it fails a lot of the time. The schedule event/video has been updated to better the LinkedIn integration but for our purposes and needs it actually made it worse. If you want to schedule a video you have to create an event and add the video at the same time without the possibility of changing the video later. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Restream allows us to stream our event to multiple social platforms with only a few clicks. We also benefit greatly from using the Studio when we host live panel discussions or fireside chats. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Restream?

I originally purchased a lifetime subscription to Restream to stream to multiple platforms simultaneously and to live stream pre-recorded videos. Both features are rock solid. In addition, Restream continued its Live Studio development, which has been a huge bonus! They continue adding features that make live streaming easy and professional to this day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Restream?

I consistently have issues with my live video streams freezing for a few seconds at a time. I can't say for sure whether the bottleneck is on my end or theirs. I have plenty of bandwidth, and I rarely have this issue when using other live video services such as Skype or Facetime video Messenger. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The ability to repurpose video content by live streaming previously recorded videos greatly benefits our organization. We have a global audience, and having the ability to schedule a stream for different time zones is enormous. Restream also makes it very easy to bring in multiple guests via browser, which minimizes technical complications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Restream?

The interface of Restream is user friendly and all the options to go live is right there on the dash board. It is easy to add destinations and from within the Restream dashboard all the Titles can be updated.Restream allows easy livestreaming to multiple platforms like YouTube, LinkedIn, Facebook Group, FB Page or Individual account, Twitter, and RTMP destinations. It also aalows Chat overlay to highlight chat during streaming. I can also use my custom logo and banner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Restream?

The pricing can be a little low for starters. A companion mobile app would be an added bonus. The website even though works on mobile does to seem to be too mobile friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Restream allows me to go live on YouTube, Facebook, LinkedIn and other platforms at once. The chat features allow to reply to chats from within Livestream studio. The integration with OBS is also a plus for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Restream?

Restream makes it very easy to stream one broadcast to multiple live streaming platforms. I originally started using restream as they were one of only a few options for the beta of LinkedIn live. I found it easy to connect my LinkedIn profile as well as other platforms such as Twitch, YouTube, and Twitter. Connecting accounts is easy and quick. Support has been very helpful the times I've needed to contact them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Restream?

The integration with LinkedIn often disconnects, and I get no indication of this until after we have gone live. I wish there was some kind of verify accounts function I could run before we start streaming. Some platforms don't allow you to connect the broadcast midstream. I wish they would better support Instagram and TikTok. The only ways I've found to stream to these platforms are hacky and unreliable for regular broadcasting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Restream:

Restream has great sales a few times a year. You can save a bit and get more features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We can connect to new live-streaming platforms like LinkedIn and can also broadcast to multiple platforms at once. Restream has some nice features that unify chat and title changes across all your broadcast locations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Restream?

Restream was the perfect (and free!) solution to my recent need for a broadcasting tool for an upcoming live webinar. Love the seamless integration with LinkedIn and other platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Restream?

I've run into a little technical snafu that prevents me from adding the Restream tool onto a LinkedIn event I already scheduled on the LI platform. Maybe I'm missing something obvious, but I've spent a lot of time researching it and haven't yet found a solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I love how easy it is to broadcast on the fly with this tool. No expensive accounts required, setup is quick and painless, and sharing is super easy. Love how much time this tool has saved me! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Restream?

Restream is a good enough tool to live stream events on multiple platforms at once. It's easy to use, has a great user interface because of which it is very easy to get around this software. The support team is also quick to respond and that is a very helpful service from their end. My favorite feature, however, of this tool, that sets it apart from its competitors is the streaming monitor. It's great how you can monitor if the live stream is good even without entering the studio. This feature really makes things easy for the whole team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Restream?

While it's a good software, this isn't perfect. For its features, I find it a bit expensive and that too with limited options. The second best variant only offers 10 custom destinations at a time which honestly isn't a lot, even for a small-medium scale organization. Even the top-most variant offers only 20 custom destinations, which makes it quite a task to organize simultaneous events. Hence, in terms of its pricing and the features that it offers, I would definitely go ahead with similar tools instead of this one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We switched from streamyard to restream for conducting our annual event this year. While I personally enjoyed scheduling events in the beginning (the interface made it easier for me to figure my way around this software and quickly get the work done) but when we came to connecting it to our event platform stage, it was a hassle. We could only add 10 custom destinations at a time which made my work repetitive on a daily basis as we had many webinars on a single day. While that wasn't a lot of trouble but I had a better experience with streamyard in this aspect - I was able to create the desired number of custom destinations without any maximum cap limit.

What do you like best about Restream?

Great service with a ton of flexibility when producing video Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Restream?

Its made for streamers not really business who want to stream content or events Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Restream:

Its a great service for what its made to do, was very reliable and had some cool features for streamers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We wanted something that could stream a prepackaged video, restream could do that (ie schedule it in advance). Its made more for someone who is live streaming content or conversations, which is great, just not what we where using it for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Restream?

It's super user-friendly, making it VERY easy to link multiple social media platforms. You can also feed live meetings/webinars from zoom and push that feed to your linked platforms in real-time. Restream studio also has a LOT of added features, graphic/text overlay options, etc. for anyone that doesn't want to use Zoom. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Restream?

Unfortunately, there isn't a way to link Instagram for restreaming, currently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Restream:

Get your feet wet with the free version, learn how easy it is to use... then I'm sure you'll decide it's worth upgrading to a paid plan, if you want to be able to stream to many platforms at one time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We can now livestream content to our social media accounts, allowing more people to see, share, and engage with our content. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Restream?

I used this as a Technology Coordinator for a church congregation's Sunday service live-streaming. I liked that Restream allows you to stream simultaneously to multiple social media platforms from one user interface Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Restream?

It was a bit difficult in the beginning learning the user interface, and it seemed like every time we logged in, there was some delay or issue with the password. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The problem Restream helped to solve was live streaming a weekly production online to Facebook and YouTube simultaneously. This allows church members who are unable to attend due to the pandemic, access to still experience church community, and stay up to date on the liturgy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Restream?

I can't say enough good things about restream.io! After using xSplit for a long while, I was having some problems with bandwidth so I was looking around for something that would allow me to multi-stream my streams more effectively. Since I was already using OBS, I knew it would be an easy transition to use Restream. It's so easy to set up and only takes a few minutes to get going. I was able to immediately get 0-lag and was also able to try out a lot of different bandwidth settings to make sure I was getting the most effective one for my situation. Since the views of our broadcasts have increased and donations have increased significantly and I don't have to worry about whether or not I should be streaming on one platform or another. I highly recommend checking out restream.io, you're going to love it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Restream?

Restream provides a very useful service for people who want to stream but they need to make some improvements on their branding. The branding on the site is too much and it makes it seem too corporate and not personal. Also, the website isn't very interactive and the colors are not as vibrant as they could be. However, It is a very useful tool and it is very easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Restream:

I highly recommend Restream to anyone looking for a reliable and affordable way to expand their streaming platforms. The software is easy to set-up using OBS and Streamlabs for both desktop and mobile device, the prices are extremely reasonable, and my streaming quality has been much improved. I had previously been using Restream for my mobile broadcasting, but now I use it for my desktop as well. This has freed up my internet bandwidth so that my mobile is no longer fighting for bandwidth. I also had a problem with high ping but Restream customer support was perfect in handling my issue. This is a great product and is well worth the price. Give it a try! I'm glad I did. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

If you stream live events, you'll know what a hassle maintaining an audience is. Not only do you have a high channel capacity in place, what with multiple computers pumping content across the web, but you also have to handle the viewers coming in through your stream. This is a very difficult task, especially if you want to have an interactive audience. This is the first of the main benefits the Restream add-on for OBS grants the user. Not only does it help broadcast your live stream to a much larger audience, but it also manages the stream for you. This means you'll never have to worry about stopping, starting or stopping your stream for your viewers again. Not to mention that it's also incredibly easy to set up. You can sit back and relax while your audience rises. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
