How to Multi-Stream (to Twitch, Kick, Tiktok, YouTube, WHEREVER!)

[@MosesFrnchToast]

Restream chat bot has an option where when someone sends a message on 1 platform, Restream posts that message everywhere via the bot and it also has that chatters name

[@assortednerdery]

I was really impressed with Restream in the few interactions I had with it.

[@primalvalor]

This is true, but it’s REALLY ugly and confusing. I’ve been in a few chats where it was being used, and I just left and went to the platform everybody else was on.

[@MosesFrnchToast]

@@primalvalor oh, I didn’t say it was great lol it’s not by any means, but it’s much better than looking at the chat box on the stream itself, where you can’t scroll, & talk to people that way lol

[@KamleshMallick]

@@MosesFrnchToast is that chat bot option available in the free version?

[@MosesFrnchToast]

@@KamleshMallick I believe so? I could be wrong. It’s been a while since I’ve used it honestly

[@Barnameji]

What a legend. thanks so much for understanding, advising, and supporting small creators. Multistreaming is critical for a channel of my size, and its great to know I'm not the only one trying to figure out a good system. The tips really help. Thanks again bro!

[@stopwar1]

Note : you don't get a restream watermark if you're using OBS you only get a restream watermark if you're using their studio

[@DamonM94]

I was about to say I use them and I don't get that watermark haha I use OBS btw

[@stopwar1]

@@DamonM94 yeah first time I thought there's gonna be a watermark but after I contacted the customer support I learnt that its only when you use their studio

[@Richard_Leon]

Can’t be angry with daddy twitch anymore 🙌🏼 it’s now allowed to multi-stream!

[@stopwar1]

[@Richard_Leon]

@@stopwar1 yup, announced at twitch-con

[@MysticNinjaSoul]

Where is the link for the OBS plugin?

[@HorrorPapi]

I was a Twitch only streamer before, got some buzz but becoming a father made me reset some priorities. I've been considering coming back and the streaming world has changed so much since I've been gone. Your videos have somewhat kept me in the loop of major changes. Always good to know of all available options if this is something I would be considering eventually

[@PapiGrayBeard]

congrats bro.

[@raydy8212]

Congrats man, hope you doing good for the kids and the wify.

[@G0DLY11]

Congrats on the kid man just moved house and previously streamed on twitch but going to come back once my internet is in and just stream literally everywhere but once I start gaining a following narrow down to just kick and get everyone over there but starting off I think it’s best to be everywhere and get your content out to as many people as possible as well as posting clips on all socials especially TikTok and shorts

[@MrPowerGamerBR]

05:53 I think this is something cool that you could implement into Aitum: Instead of only supporting one new "stream canvas", you could add support for multiple canvas, this way you aren't limited to just two canvas.

[@harrisheller]

Graphics cards can only encode a certain amount of instances. With the second canvas they are typically maxed out.

[@ExocronMain]

I do know its not optimal 😅 but a lot of people have still laptops, macbooks, or „older“ pcs left over. You can send the video signal from the gaming pc to 1, 2 or 3 streaming devices. With that great plugin you can now stream to 2-4-6 at once 😜😉 - still not optimal, look for your upstream AND your electricity bill 😊 greetings from germany !

[@fsonetwork]

Quick note on the Restream chat thing.. It does combine all the chats for some platforms. ie: My YT chats are relayed to my Twitch chat for everyone to see and vice-versa. Restream also relays chats from both to a specific channel on my Discord (It will relay anything from that discord channel back as well) so I have a chat transcript available in my Discord as well.

[@ClumsyToast]

Oh good to know!

[@KOTStream]

I just started multi-streaming last night. Really should have started this ages ago, but excuses and laziness got the best of me. Hoping that this will open some doors for me.

[@NiCk3l_GrAbBeR_GaMiNg]

This was exactly what I was looking for! Thank you for explaining not only how to but also what goes into multi streaming from the user end to the hardware. Keep doing what you do I appreciate you 🙂

[@stealthyrebellion]

Just began multi streaming and very much enjoyed it. Do need a few more things but I really have been enjoying it

[@TriHouse]

I was so against multi streaming for a long time, but once you have an established audience on multiple platforms it simply makes sense. I don't have the time to do 3 different livestreams on 3 different platforms. Optimize the chat and and just go live on all of them at once

[@contentloui3394]

sorry to ask this a year later but i dont see the link to the thing to send your stream to difrent places at once, do you know it?

[@ObiBinGinObi]

This video aged very well with Twitch con :)

[@Gam3rC4m]

5:06 - restream DOES the same as what he was saying about Bottrix. I use Bottrix only because its Kick's best option for alerts etc since there's no other decent tool available for it yet. I've been using Restream for awhile now and the reason why I didn't move away from it when they kneecapped their free tier is because I have chats from DLive, KZbin, Twitch and Kick all show up on my overlay as one continuous chat. My viewers are able to interact with each other easily even though they're watching on different platforms. Also, restream has a chat dock that I can see all messages in one spot so I can reply to my viewers as if they were all watching on one platform. Other restreaming options are limited to what platforms they support for group chat. So, yes - restream does do multichat very very well. At least from my experience :)

[@harrisheller]

That's good to know. I couldn't find any restream chat info on youtube from less than like 3 years ago. Thanks for the update.

[@Gam3rC4m]

@@harrisheller Happy to help! Appreciate your videos and hard work!!

[@WillyLo]

I need Harris to redo this now with Twitch dropping the multistream restrictions! 😂 This video has become so helpful now!

[@MarkThePulverizer]

Yeah, exactly why I just came back to this video!

[@divacroft1034]

twitch literally promotes nudity striptease alcohol consumption and drug absude on their streams...nobody cared about some multistream restiction

[@divacroft1034]

As a amtter of fact alcocol commercial of any kind is illegal by law and punishable prison sentence in my country yet somehow few times i was literally reccomended on front page vodka event

[@divacroft1034]

so twitch rules is irrelevent no matter what it is as they break international laws by letting such thing go through to my country adresses aka commiting crime themselves

[@thewolfgaming4874]

here is the thing any kind of legal issues is based on US laws so they are not breaking any laws and if anything went to court it would be a court in cali and most likely nothing would come of it since based on us laws they havent broke any

[@Izanaginu]

I'm a new streamer and KZbin recommended this to me, thank god they did that xD, never thought about doing multi-stream's, since I stream mainly on twitch I did not know there is a special plugin on obs, you are a lifesaver, will try this method and hoping for the best

[@TiMeTeLl]

I actually stream on all platforms. Kick, Twitch, KZbin, and TikTok. Just not all at the same time. Different times, different days, and it works out well for me.

[@rrpete]

I have a suggestion for multi chat, Social Stream Ninja is what I've been using. Not limited to just streaming platforms either and dockable within OBS. Also works really well.

[@SuperDope]

I was just looking into this and it seems really cool! I was wondering if it could work for grabbing tiktok live chat too?

[@ChmielON_]

​@@SuperDopeStream Ninja without any configurations captures chat from every open tik tok livestream window. If you open another live during this time, your chat window will become a mess.

[@Brambo_Gaming]

I've been using this as well, it's great and very customizable

[@rrpete]

@@SuperDope as stated above would pick up TikTok chat.

[@NotSzechuan]

can you use this for kick?

[@lamartharvey]

Each one of your videos I've watched/rewatched has been most beneficial. Thank you so much! 👍🏽👍🏽

[@Larthebeloved]

I've been multistreaming to everything using obs and Harris' vertical plugin for a long time. I also use restream premium. Harris my computer wants to say thank you for the vertical plugin 😊 perfect product for tiktok

[@ProjectMysticApostolate]

Thanks for the video Harris. Also still grateful for allowing us to use Streambeats. I use it on everything now and it has made making content a lot easier. Much love from the Philippines! ♥️

[@THEaubooster]

the true stream doctor😮‍💨. covered every different instance i was wondering ab. this stuff is so relevant and has such great presentation, as opposed to scouring forums w iffy information spread all across the web. from the perspective of a non-hobbyist/aspiring professional-Harris always has just what I need.

The timing of this video is perfect. I’ve been trying to get around to multi-streaming from KZbin to other places as well. Also big thanks for all the hard work on the epic vertical plug in! ❤️🤘

[@lostkevo]

Great video! With the recent news of Twitch allowing mult streaming amongst their competitors, I will definitely use your tips to stream on Twitch, Kick, KZbin, Instagram and Tiktok at the same time. Once I started, I will let you know and then afterwards tell about my experience, performance wise and of course growth wise. Happy streaming everybody!

[@BlueLineVibes]

I take it that it is going well? I mean 4 months since this post... either you are super busy multi-streaming or ....

[@Aprylnators]

Great breakdown of the re-streaming in current day! I have been wanting to try this because I see a lot of creators between KZbin & Kick doing it, but was a little nervous about jumping in and trying to manage multiple chats. Now I'm excited & feel a lot more confident about setting this up, thank you!

[@Marodriguez874]

Thank you so much!!! Big help and information

[@Buttersbtw]

Finally, these are the type of videos I've subbed to you for, these and product reviews

[@StreliziaDeWitt]

I'm going to Multi stream using Prism Live Studio. Was surprisingly easy to setup and they have their own chat plugin too. Now if they add a docking feature like OBS then it would be perfection (oh and official Kick integration).

[@urihanaa]

i use prism too and you can add kick docks manually (which a bit of a pain sometimes when it got disconnected)... did your stream got any problem when youre ending the live stream? because mine did

[@zenosfire]

ooooo. I'm liking the simplicity of the plug in idea, will check that out in the morning 100%

[@WonderGoon]

I stream on Twitch under the same name. I've thought about multistreaming, but I don't know if it would help or hurt me. After seeing this video, though, I may try to do it, though it will probably be on two new platforms as I don't want to get banned on Twitch. Great video, Harris. Keep up the good work.

[@reelsindustries7530]

You hit the reason why I'm here cuz I'm finally starting my stream and I want to be able to get a broadcast to all different audience on all platforms, so as they say "The wider ur net the more fishes u just might catch" and im trying to go viral on something

[@SoloMentality_]

As a recently new streamer, I will be taking full advantage of these tips. I just ordered a capture card and ill be very excited to finally start using OBS. I would really like to be able to find new growth while playing some shooters or arpg's as ive noticed that the majority of my real audience only enjoyed watching me play arpg's but i began to get burnt out and wanted to try new games on stream

[@uPPyinmate]

Thanks for the great video, I'm just starting to stream and figured I would need to create short form content to market the livestreaming. This really helped validate that for me

[@hoen1x]

I used to stream on Twitch but a bunch of my friends moved over to Kick because of the easier monetization and TOS. So now I'm over there, but I do want to try to stream multiple places so this video is a really big help.

Ive seen channels that still average 5 people but their tiktoks do absolute numbers. Its crazy how short form content has popped off

[@SuperHorseGaming]

Neighh o/ Awesome video, and extremely relevant as of Nov 1, 2023. I multi stream on Kick, Facebook, Twitch, and sometimes KZbin. I've been using the OBS plugin for months, and it has been great, so easy to use. In addition, the Aitum plugin has made it so seamless to create clips and such with the Backtrack key. Thank you for all the techy stuff. LETSSGOOOO!

[@MoonDoggie82]

The problem is it's easier to get monetized on Twitch, so streaming there is the focus. I would love to stream on KZbin but I'm not going to make it the main place if I'm not getting paid.

[@ArashYT]

5:19 Harris. There is a web browser widget that shows that all-combined chat as an overlay on restream! its in your chat settings where you can find this link and customize how it looks.

[@lemonjuice3071]

i recently swapped from Twitch to KZbin because i was getting a bit upset with the issue of the "3 years streaming to 2 to no spectators". And from there i began multistreaming to Kick as well. I dont particularly know how to redo my beginnings in this platform, but this channel helped me get some insight on that (though im not too willing to stream/post on Tiktok lol). Even a bit before that, i already began working on editing some videos, and trying to get a better layout in the overall (as well as a few other tricks). And i wanna thank you for your content, it helped me have a better understanding of what to do/expect regarding streaming. I'm still not anywhere, but i have not given up hahah. Keep the good work!

Stream to vkplay, you'll get plenty of views

[@InsightGamingShorts]

you the real homie harris!

[@GottaBeFrank]

I, currently, only stream on Twitch. I have plans to try out multistreaming on Twitch and Tiktok, but I do not meet the follower requirements to use their live studio.

[@DocRock08]

I use the Multi RTmp plugin to stream to the multiple platforms, and use Social Stream Ninja to see, and overlay all the chats. Works pretty slick so far

[@biish]

Where is the link for it? I cant find it

Well I just learned something and now I feel silly... Had no idea you could link your vertical scenes with your horizontal scenes. Am I the only one...? :/

[@Derbearian]

I was engaged the entire video. I do have a question do you have any tips for reducing encoding in OBS studio?

[@FrankieJPlays]

I have audio desync with tiktok live studio when adding the virtual cam and stream mix from goxlr. Its fine in the obs/vertical window when i do a recording tho

[@VaMpReSss]

yeah i stop Multi-stream years ago and now just get back right at and thank you so much for the extra tips

[@PillsMayhem]

Love this. And I love the Vertical Plugin y'all made. I need to try out the virtual camera for tiktok. I hate their "obs"..

[@RevyMorelia]

I am originally a twitch enjoyer but watching corporate vtubers made me nowadays watch way more youtube streams. And I gotta say, some features there are really neat. Like community posts (I try to stay away from other social media *coughtwittercough* as much as possible and sometimes you simply wanna get a notice out to your viewerbase), or the waiting rooms and the fact that the VOD is automatically saved AND under a different tab then when I'd upload it by hand to youtube (which makes it much more organised if you also upload edited videos). It's also neat that you can give perks specifically to paid subsribers. But twitch also has it's perks. A worse encoder for example... ok but aside from that, I like the interface of the platform more, I like the whole using emotes site-wide, the animated emotes, the chatting culture, no ads for subscribers... Somehow, writing this right now, I feel like youtube actually has the better features imo... But I decided to stream on twitch anyways, because it was what I was more used to when I first started out. I just weirdly don't see myself as a youtube streamer. Also, I get tons of small indies recommended on twitch and regularly find new people. But even after watching streamers on yt for like two years, I only recently got small streams recommended and then it was only people with like 2 viewers. Where are the in-betweens? It always felt like the indie scene on youtube doesn't exist, so it felt like I'd be streaming into a void. Anyway, because of aforementioned features, I considered dual streaming. But at the moment it's just too much of a hassle for me, I don't wanna change all my settings because I am not knowledgeable enough to know what all the settings really mean and stuf... it seems like a big hurdle still...

[@Alaiing]

Twitch now allows multi-stream! BUT you are not allowed to merge chats. The idea is to prevent anything that would draw viewers outside of Twitch.

[@MeanieHutSr]

KZbin, but I've been thinking about doing multiple platforms at once to go with videos once i can pick back up on those instead of just streaming. I think you've sold me and helped many others as well and as always, thank you for the insight. 🙏🏼

[@KhaddyTV]

Restream actually have combined chat in their Chat software. Which relays chat messages to each platform.

[@Mandalore08]

Didn't Twitch recently make it to where you're not allowed to multistream if you're streaming from their platform?

[@Artbug]

I got the obs rtmp plugin just recently. For some reason, it didn't work😢 my obs is fully updated, so I assumed it was a compatibility issue (because i know some updates messed with it)

[@Max_Money_AWA]

I cannot get RTMP to work either. I used the installer and copied to the plugins folder. Nothing has worked. I cannot find any trouble-shooting videos to get it to work either.

[@DefCantGame]

I could be wrong but one of the downsides of restream is your audio tracks get compiled into one. So if you are trying to filter out sounds from vods it ignores your routing in obs

[@tafGarcia]

You’re right

[@DefCantGame]

@@tafGarcia Figured I'd bring it up for anyone who is afraid of having things they wanted cut out of vods,dmca fear, etc

[@tafGarcia]

@@DefCantGame yeah for sure good to know. I recommended restream to my friend without realizing this. He loves to blast music. He msged me after his stream to tell me it didn’t separate his audio.

[@unpopular7230]

Looking around, no one is really specified what hardware is suggested for Multistreaming. Like will a 2070 handle the load or do you need a 4000 series?

[@zSarayu]

Thank you for this video!

[@helpmeforget...]

Cheers mate , great info delivered perfectly

[@The_Chad_]

I've been seriously contemplating multistreaming, but since I like streaming ultrawide at a high bitrate, and I can only do that on KZbin, I haven't started doing it. I figured if I was going to do that, I would just need to make all my streams 1080p. I totally forgot about the damn second screen on OBS that's been staring at me all along. I didn't realize you could change the resolution. I guess I can keep my main stream on KZbin how it is, and send a 2nd 1080p feed out to Twitch, Kick, and Rumble. Great video as always!!! Well except when you made the video saying Kick was basically running on blood money and would be dead in no time. lol

[@Lalito6190_]

Is there any way you can show how to have 2 different people playing with each other but in one stream for people who play in groups. My brothers and I always play with each other and would nice to stream in place for us

[@IanHouck]

If someone were to use the Aitum Vertical Plugin to restream to a different platform, wouldn’t the quality be slightly better or worse due to there not being other settings such as B-frames, etc? That’s something the devs should consider addressing in future updates maybe

[@OverflowNexus]

Have you ever done a review on rumble as a platform?

[@RogerPlaysTV]

i was thinking about Tik Tok + twitch even if i think i don't like to have 2 separated chat or stuff... but this video is right on point!

[@ThatDorkyReviewShow]

Restream does relay the chat on other platforms but only to certain ones , like youtube and twitch are able to see what each other and facebook are saying but facebook doesn't relay the chat from anything etc

[@Dietahvr]

using main obs to stream on low bitrate resolution to twitch and kick using one encoder and using the vertical plugin to stream to youtube on way higher bitrate and resolution with another encoder would be cool. sadly streaming to youtube not using the built in obs youtube integration is a pain in the butt.
