Who here is considering making the switch over to YouTube? And if you’re still on Twitch, what’s stopping you?

[crazycoastie]

As an affiliate I’ve been playin on other platforms, highly considering dropping the affiliate status just to always multi stream. Makes sense, small streamer and it’s a hobby

I am Twitch Affiliate and I use Restream with OBS to stream on Twitch and it's great platform tbh because I face problem to stream directly from Twitch as I live in Turkey and there is no servers close to me while on Restream there is many servers including Istanbul server. However, I noticed there is chat delay. I am not sure if it's related to using Restream or there is something I need to change from OBS settings.

I used to multistream with restream and then I took the affiliate agreement, so no more of that. However, I kept using restream just for their chat app. I can filter out ! Commands and my bot so I don’t miss messages. It’s great.

For whatever reason, it’s also usually way faster than my twitch chat either in a pop out window or docked in OBS. I get messages 5-10 seconds faster a lot of the time which is massive when it comes to chat interaction.

After a crazy exchange of contract in Brazil I'm leaving twitch because in Brazil a prime member costs R$ 7.99 ( U$ 1.40) and twitch pays me for each prime member R$ 2.40 ( U$ 0.42). My channel went from 1500 prime members to 200 primes after this change because brazilians are abandoning the platform.

Would actually love to see a video for the streambot etc and why they don't work on YouTube personally. I want to cancel my affiliate because as someone who wants to make YouTube content more than stream I'd rather have all my streams, videos, and shorts in one place but have the option to multistream to twitch, upload shorts to tiktok, etc.

I totally agree! I would love to use restream to reach more eyes for my live shoe art! This video was DEFINITELY needed!

Perfectly timed video. I just paid for restream yesterday, and plan to start using it to stream to YouTube, Facebook, and Twitch. I just submitted my offboarding request to Twitch so I can leave the affiliate program.
I had no idea about the pairs option, which is going to be amazing for an upcoming event I'll be hosting with another streamer that might want to have it live on his stream as well. Thank you!

I transferred over to youtube a couple months ago, and so far I love it, however, it is kind of difficult to get settled in since there's not as much of an option for chat bots and extensions like twitch has, so I'd love to see another video discussing some of that stuff.

i do multistreaming to YT, Twitch, Trovo
the only thing that is annoying, is that you cant have a combined Activityfeed - at least i havent found a way to combine all of them in 1 dock

[snapbacknerds]

"what's the worse thing that could happen? No one will watch your YouTube stream either!" That's LMAO gold!

[Cherko]

I made the move from Mixer (10 months) to Twitch (2 months) to now YT (1 year and a half) and the last move was by far the best one I made :D

[thetrueprotag_]

I’ve been thinking about going back to using restream, despite also being an affiliate. I’m a small streamer…for now, and what I’m thinking is, which ever hits the desired income first I’ll stick with that one.

[DisciplesHyper]

This was a really great funny video man! Keep up the hard work!!!

[acarde]

Been thinking about doing a public addiction recovery live stream, with gaming. Wanna be on Twitch but discoverability on for the nitch might not be great. This might work better. Twitch, YouTube, and Facebook. Thanks again Nutty.

[supernerdx]

Thanks for the info and the laughs. Great vid!

[DoctorMGL]

awesome thank you for pointing all the positive sides and the down sides

[heavymac]

As a small streamer starting out, honestly, YouTube (streaming) is useless. The discovery is mostly theoretical, and while the always-available encoding is great and the quality is without a doubt higher it doesn't matter if nobody watches. I tried multistreaming for a while...with and without Restream...and the eyeballs simply were not there on YT. I gain much more viewer engagement through emotes and channel points than by being on a second platform.

That said Restream is still useful as an Affiliate, because YouTube is a place to get unlimited VOD storage. Just set them to Private by default and have them publish as Public/Unlisted a day later. You could upload them as videos too, but streaming them keeps them marked as "live" content, separate from your video uploads.

Before affiliate I was using restream and the main thing before signing the contract was the exclusivity clause and not being able to multi-stream without breeching contract. So i agonized over the decision. But the main problem with restreaming for me anyway was I had people whose first or main language wasn't English and I didn't know enough of their language to bridge the gap. It's been a while but if restream was possible on mobile I wouldn't have been able to minimize stream and use a translate app without losing people or dropping the stream. So I decided to stick with Twitch bc what is the point if I can't effectively communicate with the audience? It was mostly Chinese viewers and I felt bad because I can't read.

[JerridFoiles]

I've been streaming on Twitch for a year now. I also have an old Youtube channel. I started streaming using Restream as a way to transition into Twitch. I've never seen Youtube as a good streaming platform yet, and even though they are improving it's still got a long way to go. Also, Harris mentioned that Twitch doesn't even enforce their exclusivity clause. And I know a couple partners that break this clause with no consequences. I think right now the whole Youtube vs Twitch thing is just a "grass is greener" syndrome. Youtube isn't really better because like I said, many people don't think of Youtube when they think of live streams. And you think Twitch is bad with DMCA....? Youtube is the DMCA OG...

Restream is a great tool for small content creators/streams. Nutty, you always create the coolest and informative videos. Thanks 😊
