Very powerful service that is easy to use with a great chat feature #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros The chat is my favorite part of the software as it was very easy to implement into my streams, and the main use of the software the multi broadcast allows me to reach a wider audience that I wouldn't have been able to reach otherwise without using the program. #### Cons Sometimes there are some small bugs in the program but once you get the initial setup done on the website it is very easy to use. --- ### The software you need to be seen! - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Austin G. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Graphic Design - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: November 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. 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. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### 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. #### Reasons 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. #### Reasons for switching to Restream Castr became a fully paid service --- ### Free multi platform streaming solution - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Jonathan B. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Computer Games - Company size: 201-500 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: November 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. 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! #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### 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. #### Reasons for choosing Restream see answers above. #### Reasons for switching to Restream 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. --- ### Highly customizable dashboard. Thumbs up. - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Fidelis M. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Environmental Services - Company size: 201-500 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: October 2023 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. It gives it's users control and flexibility to customize their live stream.This is the most professional live streaming software if you want to take your brand in another level. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros This is the best software for streaming.I love it alot because you can comfortably stream in different social media platforms at once.You can easily interact with your audience and drive action during live streams. #### Cons I love everything about it.Its what we all need. #### Reasons for switching to Restream I wanted a software where I stream in different platforms at once and restream is the best choice. --- ### Multistreaming Becomes a Breeze - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Cory M. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Religious Institutions - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 12 months - Reviewed: April 2021 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Restream made it that much easier to get our multiple weekly livestreams out onto social media and streaming platforms. We're grateful for the capabilities of the software and how smoothly things go with Restream. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Restream really makes streaming that much easier for the user. This program allows you to broadcast a livestreamed event simultaneously to multiple platforms via their platform. This makes it possible to reach a much wider audience through the use of multiple livestream platforms. Restream has excellent integration capabilities with other broadcast software (our preference) or allows users to stream via the Restream Studio website. Interactions with viewers can be managed through the Restream comments tab. Setting up streams, switching streams, and publishing streams is truly a breeze. The experience is worth the money and makes our streaming setup much less work. #### Cons There are still a few kinks that need to be worked out in continuity. For instance, updating the names of your livestreams on the Restream Studio website does not always update the stream names in other places where Restream is used (broadcast software, for instance). Regardless, this does not severely limit the usability of the program and is a minor con. #### Reasons for choosing Restream Restream included much easier integration with other streaming software, and allowed for us to stream previously scheduled livestreams. This ability really sold us over other alternatives. --- ### Restream is alright but falling behind - Overall rating: 3/5 - Reviewer: Arjay J. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Media Production - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 12 months - Reviewed: February 2020 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Restream.io worked as advertised 99% of time. However, for what it offered, the price was just worth the value of continuing with their service. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 1/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 1/5 #### Pros Easy to get up and started, offering stability to maintain livestreaming onto multiple platforms. #### Cons The cost are ridiculously higher to use in comparison to its competitors. #### Reasons for choosing Restream Castr offered a better value with additional services included unlike Restream, which is at a higher cost with fewer options. #### Reasons for switching to Restream It's an incredibly affordable option compared to Restream. In addition, it's no extra cost to run two RTMP Pull links. On Restream, to run just one RTMP Pull link is an additional cost. Additionally, Castr has servers located in my city, unlike Restream, making latency significantly lower. --- ### Stream to multiple platforms with ease - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Justin R. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Religious Institutions - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 12 months - Reviewed: April 2021 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. It has worked flawlessly. It has given us no problems at all. I love this program. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros I loved the price and the ease of use. I can just set it up one time if I want and it works and integrates with any streaming software/hardware. #### Cons I think there can be more features. I'd like to do some slightly different type messages and templates in my stream. I don't like that it puts the "powered by restream" on all my streams. I think the Title and message areas could be easier to edit. Like have a date that changes every week, or a message with rules that you can apply. Maybe some kind of help in that area. I don't like editing my Title every week. #### Reasons for choosing Restream It got the job done with the least amount of computer processing. --- ### Branded comments on a paid-for tier? No thanks! - Overall rating: 3/5 - Reviewer: Kenny M. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Religious Institutions - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used other for less than 6 months - Reviewed: October 2020 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. I set up restream to multicast our church services. The original setup was easy and straightforward. However once we started using the service we noticed that they were branding our video comments with their brnad name. Only by paying for a much more expensive tier can you stop this. Since we do not wish to show any commercial affiliation in our broadcasts we found this unacceptable and had to move to Castr.io #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 2/5 - Customer support: 3/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros It was easy to set up and use, and was natively supported by our streaming system. #### Cons We had to abandon Restream when we realised that they add their own name to your video comments. That can only be removed by paying for a much more expsive tier. Other streaming services are cheaper, more responsive and do not brand your comments. #### Reasons for choosing Restream We eventually left restream and moved to Castr and have not looked back. #### Vendor response Hi Kenny! We're deeply sorry that you had a poor experience with our Standard plan and the branding options. We're hearing all the feedback, and are considering some major changes to the pricing structure so users like yourself could receive the best possible experience. Meanwhile, I'd be more than pleased to reach out to you personally and think about the ways how we could fix this. I'd be able to share something really great with you. Best, Victor Replied October 2020 --- ### The only way to stream - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Kai L. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Animation - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: November 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. 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! #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Customer support: 3/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### 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. --- ### It helps get more viewers and engagement live when you know how to use it! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Jack S. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Religious Institutions - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 12 months - Reviewed: September 2022 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Great app, with great potential that keep shining and let people have a could based studio! #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### 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! #### Reasons for switching to Restream I could use many options in restream! --- ### I love Restream! - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Dominik B. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Broadcast Media - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: November 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Since I have discovered Restream, my streams have become much more active with people coming from all over. My YouTube channel, My Twitch channel and my Mixer channel. If I don't particularly have a lot of activity on my YouTube Streams, Twitch and Mixer make up for it. It took me a while to get used to using Restream but once I got the basics I have a blast every time! Restream has also introduced FTL servers for streaming meaning real time interactions with all of my streams! #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros The fact that this software is free of use to everyone is amazing! You can stream to pretty much every streaming platform you can think of at the same time. Simple to set up and Restream has cool features like Restream Bot, their own Restream Chat which connects all the streaming platforms into one chat and much more. Restream has also introduced FTL servers for streaming meaning real-time interactions with all of my streams! #### Cons Some of the features need polishing. For example, I have to restart my Restream Chat every now and then because the messages don't show up. Restream doesn't really have a lot of chose of games to update your streams in one, but rather having to go to each individual stream and change the game manually. --- ### The Only Way To Stream - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Gordon R. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Entertainment - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used monthly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: April 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. I do Live Shows and Chats with my audience and get thousands more viewers on multiple platforms than if I used just Youtube Live or Twitch or even FB Live. Its an event when I go live with Restream, something that people look forward to. In the age of IGTV (which I hope gets integrated at some stage) and IG Stories, people are going live all the time and its not the event it used to be. Being able to contact the streamer, comment and the facility I have employed which puts the fans comments on screen as part of the conversation across multiple platforms is the only way to live stream; and its really easy. I recommend it to everyone. :) #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros This software is easy to use and Ive been using it for a while. There are constant improvements and updates and the features make setting up a solid, full featured stream really easy. I stream on 4 platform at once and have loads of viewers comment live. Using the amazing integrated chat stream I can monitor and reply to commenters from all four platforms, live! It also has Discord chat integration so this work perfectly well for my Patreon subscribers on Discord. Overall, Restream has been my goto streaming service and is essential is you want to maximise the reach of your creation! I live stream my podcasts and live chats as well as streaming games and other media to my fans. I couldn't do it without Restream. Seamless integration, really easy RTMP and OBS integration and social media announcement post setup (no fiddling around retyping stuff) Cheapest and best streaming platform imho :) #### Cons In the beginning (maybe 2016?) there was a problem with the bitrate for streaming to Periscope and you had to pay extra for Facebook, which had an overly complicated Live Event setup that rarely worked without issue; and I thought that was all a bit of a jip! But with my big boy pants on and figuring out and experimenting with my streaming settings; I now have a seamless and easily initiated stream, all video works properly and the Facebook setup is now super easy and integrated and well worth the extra few bucks! --- ### Great all-in-one production + multiplatform streaming tool. - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Mauro G. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Marketing and Advertising - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 12 months - Reviewed: March 2021 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Restream is solid and reliable and very straight forward to set up. You just need to connect your social accounts where you want to stream to and you're good to go. Built-in chat module solves the problem of being logged in to multiple accounts with different devices to answer questions / see comments in the live chat. Quality of video interviews of guests is excellent and overall output looks very professional. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Restream is a complete tool for streaming multi-platform (i.e. simultaneously to YouTube, Facebook, Twitch, .etc...) straight from your desktop. Very easy to setup with a dry yet clear interface, it's simple even for the non-experienced user. The built-in studio allows for one-man team productions like interviews (up to 10 guests,) tutorials and talking-head vlogs. You can share your desktop, add graphics and captions and see, show on screen and reply to comments from ALL your social networks during live broadcasts using the built-in chat window. Can be easily expanded to allow for external / additional cameras using a capture card (like Elgato or an ATEM Mini.) RTMP option allows for streaming to Instagram Live as well (using free app Yellow Duck.) #### Cons Can't get rid of the Restream branding/watermark unless you go with the Pro Plan. Also, you need the Pro Plan to stream Full HD 1080 from the Studio (can do it with external source, though.) --- ### Excellent and Easy to Use Software! - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Mitch H. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Religious Institutions - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: November 2023 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Overall we truly enjoy using it and without it we could not broadcast our services to those who are shut in, sick, or traveling. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros We really like how easy it was to set up our streams so that each week, with just the click of a button, we can broadcast our church service in real-time to both YouTube and Facebook at the same time! #### Cons For this to work properly, we have to integrate it with another software for camera inputs and audio sync. It would be nice if their native camera feed and audio feed interface worked better. --- ### Long-time Restream User - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Makio W. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Computer Games - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: April 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. I originally began using Restream back in 2016 or 2017 because I thought livestreaming to multiple platforms would greatly increase the odds of my livestream becoming what I would consider a success. I was wrong about that, but it's not Restream's fault! 😉 #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Restream has allowed me to livestream to both my YouTube channel and my Twitch channel at the same time, which has several benefits to me: • I don't have to remember export Twitch archives to YouTube before they are automatically deleted. • If someone on Twitch is having internet connection problems, they can go to the YouTube livestream and take advantage of YT's transcoding. Twitch does have this feature, but only broadcasters of significant viewership (i.e., not mine) are able to use it. • Before Twitch created a hard bitrate limit of 6000 kbps, I would stream to Restream at 9000 kbps, which both YouTube and Twitch supported. Unfortunately, I can't do this anymore. I have some Restream Transcoder hours left over from when I helped beta test that feature, but it's not worth it for me to use. Restream has also done a fantastic job of implementing features that are supportive to multistreamers, such as combined chats. #### Cons I don't really have any complaints. Just keep on being amazing! --- ### NEVER WORKED FOR ME AND NOW THEY WON'T GIVE A REFUND - Overall rating: 2/5 - Reviewer: Nicole S. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Broadcast Media - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: October 2024 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered What a mess. 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. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 1/5 - Value for money: 1/5 - Customer support: 1/5 - Functionality: 1/5 #### 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 --- ### Just something from a casual streamer - Overall rating: 3/5 - Reviewer: Christian S. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Accounting - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: November 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. I really like using it and will definetely keep on streaming over your software. The biggest plus ist the free usage and if you try one making it even better, than it will be perfect. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Functionality: 2/5 #### Pros I really like the easy usage of your software. Just putting up all the streamkeys and nothing really more to be done to start streaming to all the sites i want. The overall quality is also very good, i think i only had 1 stream disconnect (where it was not my internets fault) and i streamed at least 400 times through restream. #### Cons Well as good as the software may be, there are several things that really annoy me. One Problem i have is the restream chat desktop software. It crashes really often and when i say that i mean like every 2-3 streams when i am live for more than 2 hours. It is extremely annoying and also disturbs the overall experience my stream provides to me and the viewers. Another problem is, that sometimes it cant connect to twitch or youtube or has a really huge delay between those sites. Sure there are also things that your software can't influence but if twitch is delayed by 10 seconds and youtube by 40 i doubt that its just youtubes worse servers? --- ### Multi-streaming at it's finest - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: sebastian b. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Broadcast Media - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: April 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Honestly I have nothing but good things to say about Restream. What restream was designed to do does it so well. When first starting on the website everything is clean and easy to locate. It is beginner and user friendly, it's far from overwhelming. And again the convenience to stream on multiple platforms is a dream come true for those that want to. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Restream gives you the opportunity to stream on multiple platforms with ease. My favorite thing about restream is that they give you the opportunity to test other streaming platforms all at once. For example, at one point I considered to stream on Youtube and so I did with two other platforms all at once. Turns out I didn't find Youtube being the right choice for me. I'm glad that I was able to find out that a certain platform was not for me with out setting aside the other platforms I have worked on. #### Cons I don't have any complaints with restream, they have updates every so often. My only issue that I have EVER had was Restream's Chat and a couple of times I had trouble reconnecting platforms with restream and these platforms would disconnect on their own. But again with updates it was all resolved. --- ### Stream to multiple platforms at the same time with ease - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: E-Learning - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used monthly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: June 2023 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered This is useful for live streaming and for live webinars. There's a lot of competition in this space now, but Restream was one of the pioneers and it continues to improve. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros It's easy to stream to a couple social platforms at the same time. It's easy to use with a short learning curve. #### Cons Sometimes there are issues with connecting with various platforms APIs but they are usually quick to fix this. --- ### Making multiple platforms feel like one! - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Entertainment - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: April 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. I've been using Restream.io ever since their earliest days. Back then, it was glitchy and could drop your streams without notice. Was a bit frustrating, but seeing how they have improved both the service and stability is refreshing to witness. Its extremely reliable and for a consistent daily streamer, that is a breath of fresh air. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 3/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Setting up 3-4 different platforms to stream to is extremely easy. Then, once its setup, it becomes a set-and-forget situation and it works flawlessly every time. #### Cons CHAT! There is a relatively crude chat program that is supposed to send chats from all platforms to each other so that all your viewers get the conversations in all chats, but it doesn't work very well and has almost zero customization. Would love to see this improved. --- ### Already Great, But Keeps Getting Better! - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Entertainment - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: April 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.

Having used Restream for over two years, Restream let me grow two significant audiences on Twitch and YouTube rather than one. It's been excellent! #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros The ability to stream to major and smaller platforms with ease! This allows me to access a larger possible audience without having to pick and dedicate myself to one. Additionally, it allows me to interact with them through the multi-platform chat and have more in-depth and useful statistics. #### Cons Some functions have had issues and it hasn't been the smoothest experience. For a time the stream dropped frames from Restream and sometimes Restream chat can't keep up. Thankfully, support fixes these quickly once the issue is raised! --- ### Restream is Useful - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Gino B. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Computer Games - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: November 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.
