Music and visuals apart

Songs on one playlist, videos or images on the other, and an ambience channel that loops under both.

Ads and jingles between videos

Play an insert after every few videos or every few minutes. Add several and they take turns.

Upstream sets up YouTube

Pick your channel and Upstream creates the broadcast with its title, description and thumbnail, then starts it on time.

Their customer service is top notch D Davone ★★★★★ I'm a new customer to upstream, but have been using vps for the past year. I've had numerous problems with my previous provider and decided to change. A Anthony ★★★★★ The upstream is amazing, and the stream designer is a really great tool! I can rest assured that the live stream is performing perfectly 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. JM Jordan - MrSpherical ★★★★★ When I decided to run a Stream first I needed to how to do it, and I learned. HC Heidy Cardens ★★★★★ I love how easy Upstream is to use - especially for someone like me who has no technical knowledge of servers. The whole process of a 24/7 live stream was overwhelming to me until I found upstream.
