Live Stream to Instagram & Facebook at the Same Time with Restream

[@SamFriedman]

I don't comment on KZbin much, but I just wanted to let you know that this video was very useful and well put together. Nicely done.

[@GreenBoxMedia]

Thank you very much for letting me know!

[@shaunattwoodOFFICIAL]

if I'm using a canon camera as my webcam how do I set the view to portrait from gallery? is it through camera settings or restream settings?

[@GreenBoxMedia]

When working with the Restream Live Studio you can only stream in Landscape orientation. For Portrait orientation you need software like OBS to Livestream.

[@shaunattwoodOFFICIAL]

@@GreenBoxMedia thx for the quick response, so with restream theres no way to fix the situation whereby i'm multistreaming but on insta they see only half of my face when i have a guest on the screen?

[@GreenBoxMedia]

Instagram unfortunately is a special case yes. That's also why it's not directly supported by Restream and needs to be streamed through a third party service like Promovgram as shown in the video. Speaking of promovgram tho. If you use promovgram (Restream to Promovgram to Instagram) using the "RTMP Pro" feature you can rotate the entire stream by 90° which means people watching on Instagram have to turn thier phone in order to see the image in the right orientation. Here is a video about Promovgram I did: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jJS0noikjNmhZtk

[@dcfairwi]

Do you have a video about using a smartphone in restream studio?

[@thejeajoseph9]

I recently used your tutorial to stream to Facebook and Instagram using Restream. It worked perfect! Thank you. The only issue I ran into is that the video that was streamed to Instagram was very zoomed in preventing the Instagram audience from seeing the whole screen. Facebook worked perfectly. Do you have any idea what could have caused this?

[@GreenBoxMedia]

Yes. This was caused because you streamed a 16:9 stream to Instagram, a 9:16 service. If you used yellow duck it does a crop in order to fit the hight of the stream to instagram. If you used promovgram i also did a video about you have the option to rotate the video by 90° in order to fit the screen.

[@thejeajoseph9]

Thank you!

[@clohneo95]

Dumb question, but you can also ONLY Livestream your screen and its audio (like screensharing)? Let's say Iam showing a gameplay but I don't need to talk nor be seen. This is possible too, isn't it? 🙏🏻 thank you!

[@sriramselvan]

What if I go with a guest(two people)! Reat of the platform fine, when it comes to Instagram will it be like the native Instagram one like by one above the other?! In your video the camera is in potrait! What would happen when I do a live stream with two people?!

[@GreenBoxMedia]

It strongly depends on how you stream. Vertical or landscape. In the description, there should be a video demonstrating how to stream on Instagram. The service used can rotate a video 90° into horizontal.

[@Slow974]

Hi thanks for sharing. Do you mean you have to get OBS and restream to use lives at the same time Instagram/facebook? What about Meta business? Thanks for your help

[@GreenBoxMedia]

You can also use the Restream Live Studio which is built into their website, to not have to use OBS.

[@lionbeatscobra]

is there a way to prerecord video then release it on all platforms as live?

[@GreenBoxMedia]

Yes absolutely I did a video about this too: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bGSxfpWmhLOoiZo

[@breathworktraining]

So does this mean that the KZbin video created will only take up the vertical center of the normal horizontal aspect ratio and have blank space on each side of the video?

[@GreenBoxMedia]

I assume you are referring to livestreaming on Instagram? If you stream a 16:9 only the center will be shown on instagram (crop). However, as seen in this video you can setup OBS to stream vertical videos they won't get cropped: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jaSoaWeCg9xkrKM

[@SteveWhite2100]

Great video. I just had a conversation with Restream but they are telling me I can't do this live from my phone because of yellow duck has to be done from a desktop. IS the program you are using allowing us to do all of this from one phone if you wanted?

[@GreenBoxMedia]

If you use the service shown in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jJS0noikjNmhZtk you should be able to do everything from within a web-browser.

[@JeMone]

What about the problem of size and dimensions for those of us who want to have our actual size of our Facebook and KZbin streams on instagram. Is the only way to pay for encoding hours on restream??? Or we are going to be cut off on the sides otherwise or have to get another stream set up

[@GreenBoxMedia]

Check out this service. With this service you can rotate your stream 90° kzbin.info/www/bejne/jJS0noikjNmhZtk

You are welcome

[@shelfaddiction]

Can you use two different camera sources for Restream? For example, be vertical for Instagram and Facebook using your camera and then be horizontal for KZbin using your laptop camera or a second camera?

[@GreenBoxMedia]

No, you would need two Restream accounts.

[@oppy8142]

Thanks for the great video. I would like to know. If I connect a restream acc to my Facebook business page. Is it possible for others who also manage the restream account to have access to my personal Facebook profile? While they are using restream to go live on the page. I want other users of the restream to be able to stream to the Facebook page I manage without having access to my personal Facebook profile.

[@GreenBoxMedia]

As long as you don't connect your personal profile they should only be able to stream to the public page. However testing this before sharing the Login is recommended.

[@danielanton1270]

Hey there, many thanks for the helpful video. Is it possible to stream to multiple Instagram accounts at once?

[@GreenBoxMedia]

There is no way to add a guest to Instagram itself. Only way to do so is using the restream live studio but that will be in a 16:9 instead of 9:16 aspect ratio

Hi, thanks for the tips! Is it possible to use two different devices for live broadcasts with Restream on KZbin and Instagram? To transmit both horizontally and vertically.

[@GreenBoxMedia]

You can do two Livestreams with two devices however you will also need two Restream accounts as one can only accept 1 incoming stream at the time.

[@stefaniagrande6840]

@@GreenBoxMedia oks, thanks a lot! And is it possible in your opinion to stream using one device but in 16:9 on youtube and 9:16 on instagram by scale and rotate the stream on Promovgram settings?

[@GreenBoxMedia]

Promovgram allows to rotate the stream 90. So it is technically possible however your viewers then have to rotate thier phone when watching the stream on Instagram.

[@MathyLisikaMinsende]

Do you need to have OBS if you’re just using KZbin and Facebook page and Facebook group?

[@carolhimelhoch1896]

I don't fully understand the chat app in Instagram. When you say to open the Instagram chat in your app, do you mean to have Instagram open on your phone, go live, and watch for comments? Or, do you mean to watch for comments in the Restream chat app? Thanks.

[@GreenBoxMedia]

Usually chats can be seen in the restream chat app. (kzbin.info/www/bejne/jH6ThGCAaceYr5Y) However Instagram is an exception. As we learned in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jJS0noikjNmhZtk promovgram offers an easy web-based interface which also displays the Instagram chat.

[@carolhimelhoch1896]

Thanks. So you typically can see comments that have been posted from Instagram in the Restream Chat app?

[@GreenBoxMedia]

No not from instagram but from all the other platforns like youtube, facebook, twitch and so on.

Have you compared this service to BeLive? Thoughts?

I'm not 100% sure what you are referring to. With the restream Live Studio, you can have up to 10 guests, no problem. If you are referring to Instagram, that has nothing to do with restream and the awnser is no. This video is showing how to bring in guests to restream: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j2HdeZutatmpqbM

So do I need OBS to use the RTMP to go live on Facebook?

You can use OBS or the restream live studio. However you might need a certain tier to send rtmp streams from restream so you better just sign in to Facebook rather than use the rtmp option.

@@GreenBoxMedia I have the pro tier which includes rtmp streaming. I went live last night and had terrible latency, was hoping OBS may reduce it. Uploads speeds were good.

Thanks this is interesting. I do pay for Restream on the first tier at $19 a month so I can stream to the Musitude official Facebook page but as I stream in Landscape mode can I assume I wouldn't be able to add Instagram to my stream as that would require me to stream in portrait to all platforms?

Instagram would do a kinda akward crop. However Promovgram now has an option where it takes a KZbin Stream, rotates it and sends it to Instagram. You then have to hold your phone sideways to watch it.

Really helpful video, thanks so much! I was wondering, is it safe to use the third party sites to stream to insta like you showed- does it violate intsgrams terms of service or is it ok? I'm scared to use the wrong third pary site and get kicked off insta. Thanks in advance!

[@GreenBoxMedia]

It is not 100% clear. The Instagram TOS state you shall not provide an experience you would not be able to provide using the app. This gives some room for interpretation if this is allowed or not. So far I have not come across a verified situation in which someone got banned from Instagram for streaming. But then again it's I would say a grey zone.
