It's a little unfortunate that the verbiage on Restream's page gives the idea that using their free tier will limit you to 720p and have a watermark on stream. For anyone who may have thought that, just know that using OBS with Restream like Epos is showing here doesn't actually have a 720p limit or watermark on the stream. I've seen a lot of confusion about this on Twitter so just fyi

[strchillaxin]

Telling people to upscale to 1440p is the best advice you could give. That said, I feel like most YouTube streamers don't do this extra step and it's one of the biggest reasons YouTube live isn't as popular as other platforms as of now

This is perfect for me to be able to stream to Zero viewers on 3 platforms instead of just 1! Not sure why, but seems more exciting this way! Let's

Finally a video that makes sense, every other damn tutorial is skipping the ingest part to attain the URL and its always someone that streams from Twitch first to YT, like god dammit, I just wanna stream YT first as my primary and then Twitch for the plug-in. I do not wanna use restream crap. Just wanna stick with OBS, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

Commenting before watching, but I was super excited to see this video pop up on my homepage! I am setting this up this afternoon, so the timing of this video couldn't have been better. Thank so much!

Great summary! A more techy option, if you have a server with some bandwidth/CPU to spare, there's an RTMP patch for NGINX you can also use for restreaming. Given that low end VPS's cost about $5/mo, it's only really cost effective if you have 3+ destinations, or if the server does something else for you (VPN, Bitwarden, etc). That said it's also worth looking at restreaming if your stream to glitches out. I found using my NGINX relay gave me a much more stable connection, likely because the relay was in the same city as the Twitch ingest server (i.e. lower latency retry/confirm packets). Fun stuff. 😋

I used restream free plan and could stream in 1080p without any watermark. You also get a combined chat for OBS.

[serjreyna]

Thank you! I have 62 followers and average 3-5 viewers on twitch but my other platforms have 370k combined hopefully this helps me build the twitch community more!

[GamersRebirthDL]

PERFECT!!!! The details for twitch on Multi Stream did it!!! Thanks!!!

[McgurganatorZX]

This is really useful. I'm a small streamer and I've wanted to push to both Twitch and Youtube for a while now. Thank you for making this walk through on how to set things up with OBS and thank you for this tech info

[Mrgregles]

Appreciate the shoutout my man! ❤️

I love you are showing everyone you can use the plugin in horizontal mode! It is how I use it most of the time 😂

[iamKORHAL]

I'm sorry I'm only paused 15 seconds in and I have to say this intro is already super fun, comedic and creative. Heck yeah

[Kopacko]

For an even better way to stream to multiple places as well as recording, use a old laptop (Intel 7th gen or higher) and use an RTMP server service combined with OBS and you do whatever you want to as many targets you want.

[NexonSenseiGaming]

if your having problems in MAC installing the plugin and not showing for multi stream just rest your dock and the window should pop up
OBS 29.1.3 / OBS - MULTI - RPTM - 0.5.0.1 / Macbook pro M1 pro

[dmipatriot]

Bro, was struggling with the Restream bitrates, doing the OBS for YT and then multicast out to restream for Kick and Twitch is clutch! Thank you.

[halloweenmooncrab]

Let’s go! Thank you for teaching us on Multi-Blasting :)

[ItsNickster]

dunno if this is a good fix, but if you set up a youtube livestream waiting room, in the live streaming dashboard you can set up the stream key to be 1440p. i think this upscales it on youtube's end, so your pc doesn't have to upscale it. could be wrong tho. but i've been using this little trick since october of 2021, and the encoding is way better

[JayShockblast]

I really appreciate this video and the way you always explain things so well and in a way that doesn't make me feel dumb but is easy to understand. Thank you.

[Dangthebepis]

I appreciate how wholesome this video is

[SoarPro]

Great guide, but please cover multistreaming for Prism Live Studio as well.
