Thank you for sharing your experience. We're sorry for the inconvenience – that's certainly not the experience we aim to provide.

Your point about using a VPN is quite insightful, and it suggests that the issue may be due to the distance from our servers. We are working on expanding our infrastructure, hoping to ensure a smoother streaming experience for everyone, no matter where they are.

We truly appreciate your patience, and thank you for streaming with us.

Restream.io offers robust multi-streaming capabilities, allowing users to broadcast content across various platforms simultaneously. The platform stands out for its user-friendly interface and broad channel support. However, some users find the cost to be relatively high compared to alternatives like oncast.in and streamyard.com. Despite the pricing, Restream.io remains a preferred choice for those prioritizing seamless multi-platform streaming.

Restream is fairly easy to use

The interface is fairly easy to navigate, and getting set up to stream to multiple platforms was fairly easy. The combined chat display on the dashboard is helpful in keeping track with what is going on with each platform's chat.

Great experience

Great experience. Their service works well. I’ve tried a few different methods and other companies for multi streaming and honestly Restream is by far the best and easiest to use. It works well, their chat all in one place is super useful and even their free tier works great. I recently upgraded to their 1st paid tier and I’m so far very happy with the additional features I have. There pricing was clear and I check and unsubscribing looks to be easy which is always good when a company makes that process transparent.

Overall I recommend restream

Thanks for your honest review. We're sorry to hear you're having trouble with streaming. It sounds frustrating, especially since you've been with us for three years.

Could you get in touch with our support team? We'd love to check out your setup and see how we can improve things. Peak streaming hours should not affect the quality of your stream, so we'd love to investigate this further.

We're here to help with the streaming issues and are happy to discuss the web player and pricing.
Thanks again for streaming with us.

Thanks for letting us know. It's awesome to hear you find our chat handy, but we're really sorry about the tech troubles you've had.

We're super keen to figure out what happened. Noticed you're using OBS integration? Sometimes a few small changes in the settings can make a big difference and smooth out any glitches.

We're all about making things right with Restream. So, when you've got a minute, would you mind dropping a line to our 24/7 Support Team on live chat? We'll dive into your account details to sort this out and make things better for you and other creators too. Thanks again for streaming with us.

Have been streaming for years using restream, for the first time they have added a pumpkin icon where our assets are - preloaded videos and images are, now I guessed where it was, but for those on the team who may not be able to discern it clearly - this was a problem, the platform had especial glitches today, freezing when the livestream was inadvertently ended and not reverting to the Orange/Red 'Go Live now', so we would know it had stopped streaming. Please keep the platform professional with consistent icons, it is not necessary to make the functional icons seasonal. We have seen the Christmas overlays last year, thank you. However some users like ourselves are using restream for corporate purposes in a team setting.

Reply from Restream

First off, thank you for taking the time to provide your candid feedback. It's clear you've been with us on quite a journey, and your input is essential in making Restream the best it can be.

I totally get where you're coming from with the seasonal icon update—simplicity and consistency are key in a professional setting. It's crucial that our platform is intuitive for every member of your team, and it seems we may have missed the mark this time. I'll be taking your comments to heart as we reassess our approach to seasonal changes in the UI.

Please know our intent with seasonal graphics is to complement rather than complicate your streaming experience.

On the technical side of things, the glitches you've mentioned are definitely not up to our standard. We would love to get to the bottom of this, and for that, we need a bit more information about your account and setup. Would you be willing to connect with our tech support to get it resolved?

Your experience matters to us, and we want to ensure that Restream remains a professional and efficient tool for you and your team. Thanks again for your support and for holding us to a high standard.

Works really well, but makes OBS bug?

Works really well, I use it to stream to both YT and Twtich. Only suboptimal experience is I've gotten some weird bugs after connecting it to my OBS software (such as the on-stream chat not updating, chat settings not working properly, etc.) I'm not sure how much of this is Restream and how much is OBS, or the fact that I work on a Linux instead of a Windows. All in all, I managed to get around the bugs pretty easily, and had a great time!

Thanks for your feedback. The best way to find out if there is a bug, an integration issue, or an opportunity to adjust your settings is to contact our 24/7 Support Team. They can look into your specific case and offer good workarounds or report an issue that will help other creators like yourself. In any case, I will pass your note to the dev team. I appreciate you taking the time to share it.

Hi Andrea,

Thank you for the feedback, as we're always looking for ways to improve our product offerings and client experience for all of our users.

I'm sorry to hear your recent interaction with Restream's Support Team didn't meet your expectations. We provide ongoing product and CX training for our teammates, and will review your conversation in detail to see if we could have helped you in a more optimal way.

That said, we want to make sure you're set up for success with Restream. If you're willing to give us another shot, I'm sure we can help you get connected with LinkedIn more easily and efficiently.

I'd be happy to connect you with one of our Onboarding Specialist that can provide you a more detailed walkthrough so your next LinkedIn Live event goes on w/o a hitch.

If you're interested in exploring this option, you can reach me directly at paul.nguyen (at) restream.io. Thank you again for trying out our service. I hope to hear from you soon.
