Live stream scheduling that runs itself

Add your videos or music to a stream, open General settings and pick a schedule type: one-time or recurring. Set the start date and time, and when it should end, then save. At that time Upstream starts the stream on its servers and sends it to the platforms you turned on.

Yes. Choose Recurring schedule, set the frequency to Daily or Weekly, and set the next start and end. That window then repeats every day, or every seven days, until you change it. For a show on a few days of the week, set it to daily or use one stream per day.

No. Upstream streams from its own servers, so your computer can be off and the browser tab closed. You can check on it or change it from any device.

Yes. Set an end date and time, a duration of up to 24 hours, or let it end when the video or audio playlist runs out. In Play once and end mode it stops when the playlist finishes, and a recurring one starts again at the same time the next day or week.

YouTube automatically saves live streams shorter than 12 hours to your channel’s Live tab. Upstream has a one-click option that sets the end to just under 12 hours, so each stream stays on your channel as a video.

A schedule type that runs the stream for a set time, takes a break, and starts again on its own. You pick how long each cycle runs and the break between them, and whether it repeats forever, stops at a time or stops after a number of cycles. It can continue each cycle from where the last one left off.

Yes. With a connected YouTube account and a one-time schedule, Upstream can create the YouTube live event as soon as you save. You get the link to share right away, and anyone who opens it early sees a waiting screen with your start time. See YouTube live streaming for the rest.

Your own. You set and see the start and end in your browser’s local time, and Upstream starts the stream at that moment wherever the servers are.

Daily and weekly repeats keep the local start time across daylight saving changes when your time zone is saved before the next run is calculated. Open Upstream to save your browser time zone. Check and correct times already set, since those stay unchanged. A run is skipped if the clocks skip its start or end time.

Yes. Edit the playlist, the design or the times any time before it starts. Once it’s live you can still change the playlist and overlays without stopping it.

If your plan is already using all its streams at that moment, Upstream emails you that the stream couldn’t start and keeps trying, so it starts as soon as there’s room.

Yes. Scheduling is on every plan, including the free plan with 24 hours of streaming every month. No credit card needed.
