Restream Reviews & Product Details

I find Restream highly valuable for my podcast and video content management. The platform's user-friendly interface is incredibly appreciated, which makes recording interviews with guests ahead of time a breeze. It seamlessly integrates with platforms like LinkedIn, YouTube, and Facebook, allowing me to easily livestream the prerecorded content. I appreciate how straightforward it is to extract audio and video files for repurposing content, enhancing the usability for creating diverse multimedia outputs. The $19 per month plan struck me as cost-effective, meeting all my basic functional needs without breaking the bank. Setting up Restream was a delight, as it was extraordinarily simple to connect to my social channels without any hassle. Restream efficiently addresses the need to record audio and video interviews and allows for livestreaming them later, adding convenience to my workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'm frustrated with Restream because they don't allow me to store my recordings for more than fifteen days. This limitation forces me to export and then reupload the files to schedule a live event at a later date, which is time-consuming and annoying. Additionally, the video files are too large to reupload within the platform's limits, requiring me to find another program to condense the files. This process is not only cumbersome but also frustrating enough that I decided to cancel my Restream account. I asked them multiple times if they could do anything to help me but their only recommendations was that I upgrade from my $19/month plan to their $199/month plan so that I could store videos for 30 days instead of only 15. This is not feasible for a small business owner like me who doesn't need all the other functionality that comes with that large of a plan. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- Doesn't Save Streams Over 6 Hours On Free Plan: I had a stream go over 6 hours while trialing Restream and needed to download it. Unfortunately, they don't save them over 6 hours on the free plan! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Restream is very user-friendly and easy to use. It has connected to all my streaming sites including, LinkedIn , and Twitter in addition to youtube, and Facebook. It can connect to multiple accounts and pages simultaneously even on the same platform ( Viz YT/ FB ). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I sometimes find these plans not accepting Indian Card Payment system rules set up by the RBI ( though a workaround has been given it is a cumbersome process) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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.

Back-end with good UX design so you can easily create an event. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Customer support is the worst I ever talked to. They made our Linkedin Webinar a total disaster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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.
