FAQ
Multistreaming FAQ
Direct answers for creators comparing multistreaming software, simulcasting, cloud restreaming, and OBS workflows.
Multistreaming, also called simulcasting, means broadcasting one live video to several platforms at the same time. With Upstream, you send one feed to the cloud and Upstream distributes it to YouTube, Twitch, Kick, TikTok, Facebook, Rumble, and custom RTMP destinations in sync.
Each Upstream stream can send to up to 10 simultaneous destinations. You can mix major platforms like YouTube, Twitch, Kick, TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, Rumble, LinkedIn, and any destination that accepts RTMP.
No. Your computer uploads one stream to Upstream. Upstream handles the fan-out from cloud servers, so adding destinations does not multiply your local CPU load or upload bandwidth.
Yes. Copy the Upstream RTMP ingest URL and stream key into OBS or any external encoder, then add your platform stream keys in Upstream. You can also go live from the browser with Live Studio.
Yes. Upstream includes a browser-based Live Studio for camera shows, guest streams, screen sharing, overlays, and mixed live/pre-recorded broadcasts. OBS is optional.
Yes, but you still need to follow each platform policy. Twitch allows simulcasting and currently allows unified chat overlays. YouTube allows live streaming to other destinations as long as your stream follows YouTube live rules.
Yes. Upstream has a free plan with 1 stream, 24 live streaming hours every month, 1080p at 30fps, 100 GB storage, multistreaming to 10 destinations, no watermark, and no credit card required.
Multistreaming is included on every Upstream plan. Paid plans start at $30/month for one stream with unlimited 24/7 streaming, and the price per stream gets cheaper as you add more concurrent streams.
You can prepare a backup stream, BRB screen, or pre-recorded safety loop in Upstream so your channel has a fallback if your local encoder or connection drops.
Multistreaming and simulcasting mean the same thing — broadcasting one live stream to several platforms at the same time (YouTube, Twitch, Kick, and more). “Simulcasting” is the term YouTube and Twitch use in their official rules. “Restreaming” usually means relaying that feed through a cloud service so your own computer never has to encode a separate output for each platform — which is exactly how Upstream’s cloud multistreaming works.
Platform limits change over time. YouTube, Twitch, Kick, Rumble, Mixcloud, and TikTok are common choices for long or 24/7 streams. Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn may enforce shorter session limits, so check the destination rules before you schedule a long broadcast.
Switching from Restream or StreamYard?
See how Upstream's cloud multistreaming software stacks up — 24/7 always-on playback, true looping and pre-recorded-as-live, no OBS or local CPU, and up to 10 destinations on every plan.
