About Restream

Restream is a live video platform for broadcasting to multiple destinations at the same time. A creator sets up one stream and Restream relays it to more than 30 destinations, so audiences on different platforms can watch live without the host running several broadcasts.

Products include the multistreaming core, a browser-based live studio, an Upload and Stream tool that turns pre-recorded videos into live streams, Clips for creating highlights from live video, and Webinars for hosting live events. Use cases range from gaming, fitness and live shopping to product launches, town halls, sports, news and worship, and solution pages target creators, tech teams, media companies and government.

Restream is proprietary and delivered as a hosted service with a free sign-up option. Pricing is described on its pricing page, and the company provides a help center, integrations list, community Discord and a developer area.
