Restream
Multistream one live video to YouTube, Twitch, LinkedIn and more
Our verdict
Second of our top three webinar and live streaming tools
For: People streaming live to several platforms at once
Restream sends one live video, from its browser studio or from OBS or Zoom, to YouTube, Facebook, Twitch, LinkedIn, X, TikTok and other channels at once, with every channel's comments in one chat. The free plan streams to 2 channels with Restream branding, and Standard is $19 a month ($190 a year billed annually) for 3 channels, no branding and cloud recording. It is second because it is a streaming studio first: webinars with a registration page and replay cost an extra $99 a month for 100 attendees, Studio stays at 720p until Professional at $49 a month, and there is no desktop or phone app.

Best for streaming to several platforms at once
Restream takes one live video and sends it to YouTube, Twitch, LinkedIn, Facebook and more at the same time, with all the comments in one chat. You can stream from its browser studio or from OBS. Standard covers three channels for $190 a year, but the studio stays at 720p until Professional, and webinars cost an extra $99 a month.
Who Restream is for
- Great if you go live on YouTube, Twitch and LinkedIn at the same time
- Handy when you already stream from OBS and want one feed sent everywhere
- Good for creators who want every channel's comments in one place
Who Restream is not for
- Skip it if you want 1080p from the browser studio without paying for Professional
- Pricey if you mostly want webinars, which cost $99 a month on top of the plan
- Tight if you're staying free, with Restream branding and only 2 channels
Why Restream gets a 2.4
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- BValue for moneyStreaming to three platforms means Standard: $190 a year billed annually, or $19 by the month. Against the tools doing the same job, that's level with Ecamm and Castr and well under StreamYard's Core, so it sits in the cheapest band. Webinars are an extra $99 a month.
- CFree plan and trialThere's a free plan that never runs out, and it really streams: 2 channels at once and 6 people on screen in Studio. But Restream branding sits on the stream, it's 720p, and there's no cloud recording.
- CFeaturesIt does the multistreaming job fully: 30 or more platforms, custom RTMP and SRT, one chat for every channel, combined stats, and recorded video streamed as live. The gaps: Studio stays at 720p on Standard, and webinars and clips are paid add-ons.
- CEase of useNo App Store rating on record. Guests join from a browser, but you connect each channel and build scenes and overlays in Studio, or set up OBS to stream in.
- BPlatforms and integrationsA web app, with no desktop or phone app listed, but it streams to YouTube, Facebook, Twitch, LinkedIn, X and TikTok, takes feeds from OBS, Zoom and game consoles, and can send a webinar into Slack.

Keep Restream, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Restream you would be making one live stream sent to several platforms at once. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.4 is higher than 10 of the 14 other webinar and live streaming tools we grade. It costs $228 a year.
What you could not
- One live stream sent to several platforms at once.
- Live video to hundreds of people at once.
- Speech turned into text you can trust.
- It plugs into other products, YouTube, Facebook and Twitch among them.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. Restream’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
