🔥UPDATE🔥 There is a new way to combine chats, and it's WAY better than the options presented in the video. For more info, check out this RUclips Short: ruclips.net/user/shortsdxi6j2UAuP0 ======================================================================== What platforms are you guys streaming on or something that will get you guys to comment down here?
nothing against other stream tech wizards out there that already did a video about multicasting, but this was the main one i was waiting to be released LOL big thanks bro!
Great guide video! Regarding Restream, 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. I know a few of us are out there trying to keep people correctly informed about that so thanks and great work showing that in this vid!
Nutty, man, your 21:9 format changed my life. Months ago you answered me a comment asking you how to stream using 21:9 and you showed me it was actually quite simple 😅 but today i feel some kind of enjoyment streaming using that resolution and i cannot explain it. Thank you and all the best this 2024!! GREAT VIDEOS
@@frozair it does... Facebook crops the image a little, and Kick wont receive the signal. i sent an email to tech support and they said it will wokr 21:9 in the future.
THANK YOU!!!! I've been groaning about not being able to do the VOD soundtrack to twitch and youtube. THIS SOLVES IT, bravo. Now....hopefully my PC can handle the multi thing obs plug in lol
I went with restream. I only stream to twitch and youtube. I am trying to figure out how to stream vertically on youtube through restream without changing my twitch. 🤪. LOVE you bro. You know, your content, not in the weird way.
Thanks for the helpful video, pretty much it seems like everyone is telling Twitch to f offff but it does make me feel better when it comes to not worrying about the multi streaming or combined chats.
I stream with Prism Live Studio it restreams at 1080p with very little cpu use and that is with 4 channels. RUclips doesn't cut your video feed after your done you go check and it will say copyright strike and gives you option to remove segment of video or sometimes They can take out just the song
This was extremely helpful and insightful! Got a like from me, this comment, yada yada. BUT the second you said "Twitch said we can't have multi-chat but... they can eat (insert rest so RUclips doesn't get mad at me)" I subbed then followed on Twitch. LOL INCREDIBLE. Love the content, dude! And thank you for the help!
Another Good video Nutty, Thank you for the information. Great to know we can now stream to yt and twitch at the same time without worrying about getting ban hammered.
I used Restream this Summer for my kayak streams Worked great Now that it's cold out and will be doing indoor streams, I've been thinking of using Restream with the MultiRTMP plugin to do three stream endpoints but only need bandwidth for two
The fact the branding (watermark) for restream isn't actually in the streams is actually really interesting. I believe you should still have a link telling people you're using their services but that's not a big deal. Technically it tells you the branding is for the description when you hover over it but I too misunderstood, thinking the watermark would be in the stream.
Their website is definitely confusing, but it would actually cost them more money to put a watermark than it's worth. It would require them to transcode *every* stream, and that is *very* expensive which is why they charge for transcoding.
@@nuttylmaoWell yes, I get that it would cost more but these days some companies do things that cost them a lot of money for no apparent reason. So there certainly could have been a universe where they did add a watermark to all free streams to get more users or get people to upgrade to get rid of it. Possibly banking on the fact people don't want the watermark and avoid the service because of it (something that already happens reading the comment section), keeping free accounts low and thus keeping costs reasonable. I'm just glad there isn't one so will probably end up using the service in the future!
No, I mean, it's *way* more expensive. Transcoding is insanely costly. Restream would torpedo their entire business overnight. Transcoding is a *necessity* to add a watermark. I mean it when I say it's more worth it for Restream to not add a watermark than to add one in. There are other ways they could go to milk money (such as hijacking your stream titles, time limits etc), but adding a watermark is extremely, extremely unlikely. There's a reason they charge so much for transcoding. Not even Twitch transcodes everyone's stream, and they are backed by Amazon.
@nutty Ocarina Widget is nice. But what about copyright? Cant you get in trouble for playing zelda music, that is not part of a zelda stream? I know i am a little specific here Good video!
Feels like you explained it but being a newer streamer with a new PC I HAVE TO ASK lol…Do you know how much extra GPU usage restream uses you talked about the CPU but not GPU (Restream io)
None, you are using the same resources as you would use for a single stream, since you are streaming to restream, and then restream is doing the rest of the work on their hardware 👌
This might be a stupid question, so sorry, but with restream, can you stream to youtube twice? once in vertical, once in horizontal? Or would that require the OBS plugin to do? Thanks!
this is absolutely great news i used to use restream when i first started streaming, but after i hit affiliate i read the rules on no multistreaming and was like well .... ok ill drop it lol anyway thanks for informing ^^ and good to see there's a few options out there now for this.
Multistreaming tools and ways gonna be better and better as the time goes on. Also does the horizontal chat widget you use can do multiple chats, like youtube and twitch and kick in one?
but what about streaming on youtube and tiktok at the same time? pretty sure for aitum you need the tiktok livesteam key but i've never been able to get it so i had to use the tiktok live studio (which means i used obs for yt and tiktok studio for tiktok which probably isnt the best for my pc or internet)
Informative.. Very well done.. Also, if you were to include NDI in the mix, there are even more options that you would have access to in combination with the methods you've shared here. That's maybe a bit more advanced.
Hello Nutty, thanks for great video, can you deep dive in multi stream? If you saw many people asking for it! Cause setting multiple bitrate and encoder when I stream 2k to yt and HD to twitch has been hard Thanks again
I have the internet for multistreaming but apparently not the GPU for it lol. As if I multistream, 1 of the platforms tend to stutter and such. Internet: 300 down and up. CPU: i7-14700K. GPU: RTX 3060 Ti FE.
I have a stream key for TikTok and connected it to Restream but how do I setup the vertical to stream to Tiktok with restream? I am using the Aitum Vertical plugin.
I always avoided Restream because everyone and the site mentions the watermark being added in. There are some games I was considering not multistreaming due to CPU usage (2 OBS instances), but knowing there's no watermark, I'll definitely use Restream. Well, maybe. I don't think I've ever had transcoding options on Twitch, so I'm not sure how that'll work out with the bitrate and resolution (1440p60, 15k+ bitrate would be sent to Restream). With the OBS method I send 720p60 4500 kbps to Twitch.
Unfortunately Restream isn't a great option for 15K+ bitrate because Twitch only accepts 8K. Unless you are okay with Twitch crushing your resolution down to 720p or potentially not even delivering your stream.
What about the alerts though nutty? The problem I always find with multistreaming, is when you connect to an account in OBS, it'll only pull the alerts from what ever platform account you signed in to.
Hey Nutty, for the Vod track section of the video I'm trying to setup RUclips for it but when I click the drop down for audio encoder I only have the one option for "Get from OBS". Any ideas?
Just a heads up. Idk if this is the case in the free version but can put a custom RTMP in restream . So you can stream to an unsupported platform. You won't get the merged chat though.
@@nuttylmao The RTMP is on the free tier. Back when I streamed on Kick before the bad stuff happen and it didnt' have its own option you could use the custom RTMP to setup Kick
Not without a stream key. You can join an agency to get one. Otherwise, you'll have to install Aitum then use virtual cam to get the video over to TikTok Live Studio.
Question I haven't seeen down in the comments. If you multistream using restream to say Twitch/RUclips how do you set up the RUclips broadcast? becuase they want descriptions and thumbnails etc..
You go live just like you do on Twitch. You can edit the broadcast once you've gone live. I believe you can also edit it before going live, but can't remember the exact pages (RUclips Studio is cringe).
Do you know how to fix the chat for member streams on RUclips so the chat can be docked in OBS? Having another window open for the chat is just stupid and I just don't have the space for it.
Hey @Nutty, great video - I have you or anyone reading this comment found a good combining chat method that shows the mod sword and vips from your chats? Thanks!
I stream on different apps and honestly dude I've been meaning to do this but sometimes the amount of brain power and time needed is just so extra. Like it can take a whole week just testing different stuff and all the little features. And I mean a whole week. Not like 8 hours a day. Anyways... thank you for doing this so that I may do less.
So it im using obs plugin to stream multiple platforms, how do I use the restream chat for multiple chats in one window? Or is this where i have to use a separate source?
🔥UPDATE🔥
There is a new way to combine chats, and it's WAY better than the options presented in the video.
For more info, check out this RUclips Short: ruclips.net/user/shortsdxi6j2UAuP0
========================================================================
What platforms are you guys streaming on or something that will get you guys to comment down here?
twitch, fb gaming, yt using prismlive multistream
decided to use restream for the first time and surprised at how smooth it was :D i would definitely use it again in the future
RUclips & Twitch via Streamlabs.
Twitch, kick, and RUclips. Since I'm a dj it's always a gamble whether or not RUclips is going to nuke the stream due to copyright
Something something awesome!
nothing against other stream tech wizards out there that already did a video about multicasting, but this was the main one i was waiting to be released LOL big thanks bro!
Wow, thanks!
This literally saved me so much from struggle-bussing on how to figure it out lol, thank you!
As someone that JUST started streaming and has 1 fan, this is great help. Thanks!
I'm a simple woman, I see a new Nutty video, I click
You are a real one
Same! Except I'm a man lol. He always shows off such cool gadgets and apps. And I love his humor.
Same girl, same.
Great guide video! Regarding Restream, 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. I know a few of us are out there trying to keep people correctly informed about that so thanks and great work showing that in this vid!
Does the watermark not show up?
This was addressed in the video. Short answer: No.
They don't limit to 720p on the free plan using OBS?
Thank you for confirmimg that the same encoder settings in method 2 isn't taxing one's hardware more.
Nutty, man, your 21:9 format changed my life. Months ago you answered me a comment asking you how to stream using 21:9 and you showed me it was actually quite simple 😅 but today i feel some kind of enjoyment streaming using that resolution and i cannot explain it.

@elmisamx do you have a link to that video 😅?. I'm currently trying to figure out how to do just that as I have an ultra wide monitor
@@frozair it wasnt a video. I asked him on a comment and he told me that you just have to set up your obs canvas yo 2190x1080 and you are set!!
@@elmisamx interesting and this works for twitch and RUclips? I'll have to give this a try!

Dude! I've been looking for the pricing for Restream transcoding everywhere! I'm so happy it was in this video
Thanks for the helpful video, pretty much it seems like everyone is telling Twitch to f offff but it does make me feel better when it comes to not worrying about the multi streaming or combined chats.
Been waiting for something like this!
restream sounds good, i think the pros outweigh the cons and im glad that you debunked the restream watermark too.
I stream with Prism Live Studio it restreams at 1080p with very little cpu use and that is with 4 channels.
RUclips doesn't cut your video feed after your done you go check and it will say copyright strike and gives you option to remove segment of video or sometimes They can take out just the song
I use it too. It's pretty good. I wish they would make it for LInux though.
This was extremely helpful and insightful! Got a like from me, this comment, yada yada.

Love the content, dude! And thank you for the help!
12:52 the BEST! Also thank you, NUTTY, as always for the informative vids
Really enjoyed this video. Another solution to "multistream" is using a more "professional" option such as AWS Elemental. Its what ReStream uses. 😂😅
Thanks bro, you're my go to channel for doing non typical stuff on my streams 😈
Loved getting to meet you man!
That part at the end about Twitch and eating a certain orifice had me going 😂
Loved the video! Totally unrelated, would you be up for making a video on StreamBotAi?
Saw younin twitter so I bookmarked your video to watch later
ty king/queen/other name for monarchs.
Hi Nutty!! Great vid. Does simulcasting on ReStream to Twitch, RUclips, and RUclips Shorts (vertical) count as 3 channels?
I use restream to Twitch, YT, and FB page (custom). I love it, works great …
Hey Nutty new to the channel but I've been binging your content like crazy. Def some of the best help out here just wanted to say thanks!
Is it possible to use Restream with Aitum at the same time? For example, Twitch/RUclips and then IG live on the side? Thanks Nutty you rock!
Absolutely! It's what I've been doing.
Another Good video Nutty, Thank you for the information. Great to know we can now stream to yt and twitch at the same time without worrying about getting ban hammered.
I been looking for a video like this. Glad your other Short landed on my Twitter For You. Appreciate the insights!!
Great guide! This looks a lot easier to set up than I initially thought. I think I'm going to have to dive into multi streaming now.
Great video!! Just wanna ask, how did you manage to get the 'move transitions' plugin working on the aitum vertical plugin??
Great guide, thanks alot @nutty, I’m going to try to see how it does for me 😊
I used Restream this Summer for my kayak streams Worked great Now that it's cold out and will be doing indoor streams, I've been thinking of using Restream with the MultiRTMP plugin to do three stream endpoints but only need bandwidth for two
That is smart and yes, I can confirm that will work.
Remember when restream was fully free?
Good old days...
I use to stream to like 11 different platforms KEKW

I know i am a little specific here
Good video!
I WAS WAITIN FOR THIS VIDEO!
Another great resource vid. Thanks Nutty!
Wait so you can stream to Restream for Twitch + RUclips and also add Aitrum Vertical to stream/record for Tiktok at the same time?
LMAO Thank you nutty for reassuring us that breaking our twitch contract has always been okay XD
Feels like you explained it but being a newer streamer with a new PC I HAVE TO ASK lol…Do you know how much extra GPU usage restream uses you talked about the CPU but not GPU (Restream io)

Very informative and love your honesty
Multistreaming tools and ways gonna be better and better as the time goes on. Also does the horizontal chat widget you use can do multiple chats, like youtube and twitch and kick in one?
I'm sorry but i did not see you going over the downsides of Aitum Vertucal. Does it have the same downsides of Multi RTMP?
Yes, but it uses even more GPU resources because you now have to render two different layouts.
Network bandwidth is the same.
I love this guy.
Nutty why are you the best 😂 i can always rely on you for the goods haha cheers legend
but what about streaming on youtube and tiktok at the same time? pretty sure for aitum you need the tiktok livesteam key but i've never been able to get it so i had to use the tiktok live studio (which means i used obs for yt and tiktok studio for tiktok which probably isnt the best for my pc or internet)

Informative.. Very well done.. Also, if you were to include NDI in the mix, there are even more options that you would have access to in combination with the methods you've shared here. That's maybe a bit more advanced.
What's NDI?
Question about Restream: if i use yt as my primary stream and use an AV1 encoder, will it still stream to Twitch?
love how informative this is. thanks for the news. can I have your old monitors? hehe
They suck and not worth it even for free lmao.
@@nuttylmao I'm from the Philippines and I've seen what people throw out when I was in Sydney hehe. I hope other people can somehow benefit from those

does the plugin work if say im streaming using hls? or does it only work if im using rtmps ?
ty so much Bro Live long
😉
Love your videos and advice ❤
Restream would be so nice, if they had just more Games in their selection :/ Else it seems really easy to set it up
is there a way to play any music live via restream but cannot be heard on the vods so they can be monetised?
Can verify
There is still no watermark
quick question is there a chance to get a VOD Track but for RUclips?
Is there any way of using restream with TikTok? It's asking me for a key but I think TikTok stopped giving those a few months back
Not without a stream key. You can join an agency to get one.
Otherwise, you'll have to install Aitum then use virtual cam to get the video over to TikTok Live Studio.
How do you manually set your RUclips track to use the 2nd Vod track for the RUclips screen?

Can you stream JUST to youtube using the plugin so i dont have to sign into my other OBS profile for YT?
Take my premium revenue or whatever they give you. Now do good with those monitors and help those in need. Oh great video man! Now go get known. 😉
YOU ARE THE MAN !
what do you mean "if youtube catches you playing musik they will cut your stream right away" ??
i kinda wanna stream musik on youtube :3
Hey @Nutty, great video - I have you or anyone reading this comment found a good combining chat method that shows the mod sword and vips from your chats? Thanks!
Why would you want to stream in different quality?
I am streaming to RUclips using Restream, but the chat appears to be delayed. Any suggestions on how to fix this?
I stream on different apps and honestly dude I've been meaning to do this but sometimes the amount of brain power and time needed is just so extra.

How does it work for streamlabs? And can peolple follow on other platforms? Or do the stil have to follow on twich?
You're a genius 👏
Hi there, how do i set the Restream chat to combine it with the RTMP plugin? Thanks..
How do I add your widgets?
So it im using obs plugin to stream multiple platforms, how do I use the restream chat for multiple chats in one window? Or is this where i have to use a separate source?
Can I do this directly from my Xbox?
if I was doing twitch and youtube at 1440p will that cause issues going to twitch? would it be better to use restream or obs?
how do i get my friends from comment together from social ninja stream ????? i like restream because my viewers can see both side chat
Here's my dilemma. Can I stream to restream in 1440p? I stream to YT using their 1440p streamkey. Twitch only lets me do 1080p.
Twitch let's you do 1440p. I've been doing it for literally years.
It's not a good idea though, you're still capped at 8,000kbps.
What timing. This video comes out, and then Aitum drops their multistreaming upgrade.
Very cool... 🙄
How does one handle labels in overlays (like last sub, dono and so on) or event widgets for the different platforms when multistreaming?
I have been trying so many times for multiple stream plugin but it is not working. Can you help me?
