The ability to stream simultaneously to multiple platforms with ease. The seamless integration with LinkedIn and YouTube Live has been very convenient, allowing us to reach a wider audience without additional effort.
The user-friendly interface, easy-to-understand scheduling feature, real-time analytics, and live chat integration make the overall streaming experience a breeze. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The customization options for stream overlay fonts.
Occasional minor latency issues can occur, although they are rare and did not significantly impact our overall streaming quality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
+ Easy Setup: Way easier than trying to figure out implementation on OBS and ensure it works.
+ Saves Streams: Streams are automatically saved, making them easy to download!
+ Customer Support: Had a question about their features and their support responded extremely fast in live chat and was extremely detailed. Great support! 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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
