Restream
Restream lets content creators broadcast live video simultaneously to dozens of platforms including Twitch, YouTube, and LinkedIn from a single dashboard.
What is Restream?
Restream was founded in 2015 with the goal of letting live streamers broadcast to multiple platforms simultaneously from a single source — a technique called multistreaming. Before Restream, reaching audiences on Twitch, YouTube, Facebook Live, LinkedIn Live, and a dozen other destinations simultaneously required either multiple machines, complex networking setups, or expensive hardware encoders. Restream's cloud-based relay infrastructure absorbs a single RTMP stream from the broadcaster and fans it out to as many as 30+ destinations in real time, democratizing what was previously an enterprise-only workflow.
The platform has expanded well beyond simple relay into a full production suite, offering a browser-based studio with scene switching, on-screen graphics, guest video integration, and chat aggregation from all connected platforms in one feed. Creators, brands, churches, sports organizations, and corporate events teams use Restream to maximize reach without multiplying production complexity. Because Restream sits in the critical path of live broadcasts — events that cannot be paused or rewound — any outage during a live show is immediately visible and impossible to recover from after the fact.
Restream outages typically appear as RTMP ingest refusing connections from streaming software like OBS or Streamlabs, stream keys being rejected by Restream's servers, the cloud studio failing to load or dropping guests mid-session, relay delivery to specific downstream platforms failing while others work, and the chat overlay going blank during an active broadcast. Destination-specific authentication token expiries can also cause individual platform relays to silently drop out.
Outage.gg tracks Restream service status using real-time community reports. If your stream is not going live or your multistream relay is dropping destinations, check the live status page to confirm whether the issue is on Restream's infrastructure and get notified when delivery is restored.
