#5 of 7 in Livestreaming by Overall Score
Restream lets creators and businesses produce live broadcasts in a browser and distribute them to multiple destinations at the same time. Restream Studio supports guests, layouts, branding, screen sharing, recorded video and chat, while integrations connect streams to platforms including YouTube, Twitch, Facebook, X, LinkedIn and Slack as well as external streaming tools and encoders.
Restream accepts a single incoming feed from browser Studio or an external encoder such as OBS, then distributes it to connected destinations. Creators can therefore retain existing scene layouts while adding distribution channels instead of reconstructing the production. Its website player is another output destination, allowing companies to keep live broadcasts on their own site alongside platform audiences.
Calculated from facts we verified on Restream's own website, using published thresholds. Nobody can pay to change it. Together with Market Signal it makes the Overall Score of 60 that orders our lists.
