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.so, you send one feed to the cloud and Upstream.so distributes it to YouTube, Twitch, Kick, TikTok, Facebook, Rumble, and custom RTMP destinations in sync.

Connect OBS or any RTMP encoder to Upstream.so, or open Live Studio in your browser. Add your platforms with their stream keys, then go live. Upstream.so sends one feed to all of them from the cloud.

Each Upstream.so stream can send to up to 10 of 30+ supported platforms simultaneously. 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.so. Upstream.so handles the fan-out from cloud servers, so adding destinations does not multiply your local CPU load or upload bandwidth.

Yes. Copy the Upstream.so RTMP ingest URL and stream key into OBS or any external encoder, then add your platform stream keys in Upstream.so. You can also go live from the browser with Live Studio.

Yes. Upstream.so 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’s policy. Twitch allows simulcasting. As of October 2026, its written Terms still bar merged chat from other platforms on the Twitch stream, though Twitch said in February 2026 it would no longer enforce that rule. YouTube allows live streaming to other destinations as long as your stream follows YouTube live rules.

Yes. Upstream.so 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.so 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.

Live input needs a working encoder and internet connection. A backup stream uses an extra stream slot and covers only the main destination, not your multistream destinations. It requires a platform with backup ingest, such as YouTube.

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. That is exactly how Upstream.so’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.
