Fantastic! You made it so clear and easy to use. Many thanks.
So glad! That was my aim. All the best with your content creation!
Awesome thanks I'm gonna start live streaming using restream
Cool! Let me know how you get on.
Thank you Thank you Thank you! I appreciate this so much, it was straight to the point
Thanks, glad you found this helpful!
Ian, awesome detail and step by step analysis. This was very helpful in my orientation to the restream prerecording and live options. Mahalo!
Thanks for taking the time to comment. I really appreciate that. And I'm really glad you found the video helpful. There is so much in Restream that it can be easy to miss some of the features.
you are smart!
Thanks!
Ian, thank you very much. It is definitely the best tutorial I have seen on Restream Studio. Congratulations.
Thanks so much, that's very kind. Really appreciate your encouragement.
I subscribe awesome Tutorial also loves the vlog
Wow the best tutorial video. Thanks.
Thanks so much!
Great video thanks
Excellent instructional video. Thank you very much!
Glad you found it helpful!
Agree… Was a really good all-round video
@@kazlaljee thanks!
GREAT
DOPE
I just came across your channel. Great introduction. I'm going to start using restream for my live videos. Hope It's easy as you make it seem.🤣
That's awesome to hear! Let me know how you get on. Restream Studio is pretty powerful, but it's also easy to use. I hope this video helps you along the way. And if you have any questions, let me know!
@@ianandersongray why does my guest always get the browser not supported message
helped me ALOT
So glad to hear it. Let me know how you get on.
1. What the maximum length / size of the video?
2. Is there a way to make the pre-recorded video continuously streaming? So whenever a stream is completed, it goes live again without the need of scheduling it to specific times to achieve that?
Hi I'm planning on doing livestreams from Airports ect, I'm quite new to this, ive been looking at OBS but this one seems much easier to understand, is the free plan good enough to use or is it just for testing if you like it
OBS Studio is very comprehensive in many ways, and it is free. But OBS Studio is also not very easy to use and has some big commissions. The free version of Restream is great to get started with. However, I would recommend going onto the paid plan if you're going to be using it regularly. The free plan has a Restream watermark on the top right, and there are other restrictions. But, good for dipping your toe in the water. Love the idea of doing a live stream from airports. Let me know how you get on!
Great video thank you, Question, we use Restream for our live Church service to stream to Facebook and TH-cam. We also have a TV that we zoom into for the powerpoint and music. The audio from the music is very distorted. No audio issues when the pastor is talking, just from the music. Your thoughts?
Thanks! And great question. I assume you're using Restream Studio (via your web-browser). The issue you are getting is due to having "echo cancellation" switched on. This setting does a great job at reducing background noise or echos. BUT it makes music sound garbled. So, you need to switch off "echo cancellation". To do this, click on the cog at the bottom of Studio to enter settings. Then click on "audio" and then uncheck the "echo cancellation" checkbox. This should make the music sound great again. Let me know how you get on and if this works.
@@ianandersongray Thank you, worked like a champ. You ROCK!
@@graceinthedesert8024 oh that's great news! Glad I was able to help. 🙂
How do you put it in full screen on iphone
Is there a way to pre-record on restream and schedule it or do you have to upload a video you already made to schedule it?
Sorry for the delay. Yes, this is possible! First you need to go into record only mode in Restream Studio - studio.restream.io/?record-only and then, once you've finished recording, you need to click the "recordings" link at the top and you'll seen an option to schedule a broadcast of one of your recordings. It's really easy. Hope that helps.
Quick question, I have Atem Mini Pro and I know it streams in 1080p. I want to start using Restream, but do I really have to pay for professional to stream in 1080p or can I just use the Atem
Unfortunately yes. If you're using Restream to stream and you want 1080p, you'll need the professional plan. The ATEM can output in 1080p but if you want to use Restream to broadcast in 1080p you'll need at least the professional plan. Bear in mind that not all platforms support 1080p (LinkedIn Live for example)
My friend is hosting a show on Restream. I jump on as the co-host. However every time I get on my audio is super choppy and delayed at times. She sounds great on her end, but I sound choppy on every other word. How can I fix that? I’m also recording from an IPad. Thank you.
Sorry to hear you've had issues with your audio? Could you give me a link to one of the shows to give me an example? It's not ideal to use an iPad, but it should still work. The choppyness could be due to a number of things, such as you iPad being too slow, a microphone issue, slow internet or something else. Have you tried it from an other device?
A livestream system is not worth much if people can’t jointand chat with each other at the same time. What I mean with join is that they also appear in the livestream . Any advice of which works like this ? People should be able to choose which user show they want to join aswell
Thanks for your comment. Do you mean giving the ability for people to join directly onto the live stream on camera? If so, that's definitely possible with Restream Studio. You'd share your studio link in the description or as a comment. Personally I wouldn't do this since I don't just want anyone to join me on my shows, but it's definitely an option.
Thank you so much for taking time to respond. Ok i did not know that. Amazing! will check it out!
@@ianandersongray
Can you play mp3s thru restream? Or in the background and have the sound come thru?
Currently, you can't play MP3s directly through Restream. There is a background music option, but this only allows you to play music from their stock library. Another option is to set up a screen share, select "Chrome Tab" and play music via your browser. Or, create a virtual microphone which combines your audio as well as the MP3s. The set up here will depend on whether you are using a Mac or a PC. Hope that helps.
How long ago did you record this? I am asking because I do not have the Go Live camera icon on the left navigation. Instead, I have a large box in the center of the screen that says *Start With Studio.* But when I click on it, I just get a spinning disk, and I never get to the place you do at 2:43. BTW, I have the standard plan. Thanks for any help/insight!
Thank you for responding so quickly and thoroughly! I am going to reach out to Restream support.
Let me know how you get on!
What if you go live but you want your pre-recorded video to be the main show how do you do that?
Good question, and yes, it's definitely possible. On the main screen there's a "stream a video file" option. You just upload your file, add your title, description and title, then the date and time you want it to go live and pick the channels you want to broadcast it to.
Can Restream be used to edit content? If not is there a platform that does? Our podcast is usually around an hour & a half, but we'd like to make small clips to promote & push those out to other platforms. We have no idea what we're doing but we just hit 100 hours & 1000 views on TH-cam!!!
Thanks, Marital. Congrats with your TH-cam channel - that's great! Unfortunately, Restream doesn't allow you to edit video. It does a lot of other things though. For editing, I highly recommend Descript. It allows you to drop a video file (or audio file) and it will transcribe into text. You can then edit the video by editing the text. It also allows you to edit in a traditional video editor way too if you prefer. That's what I use to edit my live videos into my podcast. It's so easy. Check it out - iag.me/descript (affiliate link)
@@ianandersongray thank you. This is very helpful. I'm going with Descript for sure (used your link of coarse). We're actually between evmux and streamyard. I found restream to be over-whemling...but I'm not very bright :P
We are learning how to use Restream, do we need our "Quicktime" anymore??? We have ATEM already. Watched YT how to link.
So sorry I missed your question. I don't quite know what you mean. Dan you explain what you mean by "Quicktime" in this context? And you say you're using an ATEM? You can definitely use that with Restream, especially if you want to muse multiple cameras.
@@ianandersongray How to PROJECT IN-House video onto projection screen? Use MAC -Quicktime only? or can I use ATEM to also broadcast to IN-HOUSE video (non-restream)
All I get is a black screen when I go live with Restream Studio. I can see myself on Restream, I see that my mic is working, but when I go to my Kick Channel, and you tube channel, I see that I am live, but its a dark screen, and there is no sound.. I talk in my mic, but no sound comes after wards on those two websites. WHy would I get a black screen and no sound?
That's really weird. If you can see yourself in Restream Studio, then your camera is working, and Restream can see it. So, all channels should broadcast your sound and video. It sounds like there could be some bug. I'd contact Restrean support and they should be able to sort you out. Can you let me know how you get on?
@@ianandersongray OK I will contact them. I couldnt figure it out. The newer Restream Studio doesnt quite look like the version you have. But there is an option to click on that says "Old Experience" something like that, and it reverts the layout to the way your looked. ie, blue toggle on and off switch on the left hand pane where you see like thumbnails of things you have open, or people you invited etc.. The newer version doesnt have that. When I used the newer version before I reverted to old style, on the left hand side where you can see yourself in the thumbnails.. the new version it was just dark. The main middle screen showed me on my camera, but the thumbnail was black. When I reverted to old style, then I could see myself on the side. But when I went to broadcast it did the same thing, black screen. I have even deleted everything, made a new account, still black screen. Ill contact restream . Ty.
Do you need have a destination like a social media channel? Or can you just share a link and it takes the viewer to the webinar like Microsoft teams?
Great question! You could use TH-cam as a kind of webinar- making sure that the privacy setting is set to unlisted or private, and then embed that TH-cam video on your website. But Restream has a webinar feature. It looks like they have changed their plans. It used to be available on some of the cheaper plans, but now it looks like it's available on the business plan and above only. I'll check!
@@ianandersongray thank you that would be much appreciated
@@holtby91thanks for your patience. So, Restream don't have a full webinar feature (for example where they handle registration and sign ins etc) but they do have the feature (in the business plan) when you can embed the video on your website.
It seems better than streamyard tbh
StreamYard is a great tool as well, it just depends on your needs. StreamYard is really good for beginners and it's great for webinars. But Restream has so many cool features. One thing I love is the ability to stream from other tools and get Restream to do the multistreaming.
@@ianandersongray I just bought a year of streamyard for $700 AUD. So I will have to wait to try it out.
What is the song you have playing throughout the video?
Thanks, Mark. It's a song on Epidemic Sound - pulse.ly/513zqc4ap9
I have a friend that can use this😁
I was having ALOT of trouble figuring out the audio setup in Restream, which is not an app I'm familiar with at, I was just invited to it and took 1/2 hour to figure out the audio b4 the program started...stress city🥵😩😤🤬💀
Sorry I never replied, only just spotted your comment. What was the issue you had with audio? Hope it wasn't too stressful!
@@ianandersongray My friend couldn't hear me what I did.
I think I didn't understand input vs output from the standpoint of the audio of the Restream🤷🏾♂️
@@erobos111 that is weird. Was this with Restream Studio (i.e. the browser-based live video studio)? Sometimes my guests have had issues with their browser giving permission to use their microphone. But basically, Restream should ask you to select which microphone you want to use, and then which speakers you want to use (or earphones). That's the theory. But some computers have unhelpful ways of describing the microphones, and if you don't know what they are called, it makes it hard.
@@erobos111 yes, it is confusing. That might be partly down to Restream, but also down to your computer unhelpfully describing your speakers and microphones.
@@ianandersongray This is so
Hi Ian, how do I add sound effects on restream? Eg cheering and applause
Great question. Unfortunately, there is no built-in sound effects feature within Restream Studio. You could use another tool like Ecamm Live or OBS Studio with Restream and get that to play the sound effects. But this isn't possible within Restream Studio. The background music feature only allows you to play the royalty-free music that Restream gives you. Really the only way would be to create a virtual microphone that combines your mic and sound effects on your computer. On a Mac, I recommend Loopback by Rogue Amoeba. Hopefully, they'll add this in the future.
@@ianandersongray Appreciate your reply Ian.
Yes, I feared you might say that… Will have a look at the options that you gave. Thanks again!
Are live streams automatically recorded?
Yes, they are. Hope that helps.
the free version is not generous since you cannot test more than 2 streams for free. plus, the fact rumble is disabled in france, meaning i have to pay this software and a vpn to get a little more than zero views. disgusting.
Hi. Sorry to hear you are frustrated. I still stand by my claim that the free version is generous. First of all, it is free! There aren't very many free multistreaming services out there. OBS Studio is free but it doesn't have free built-in multistreaming. There is StreamYard and a few other services, but they're all about the same. It costs Restream to encode and stream your broadcast to your different platforms. But I do understand your frustration when you have to pay for lots of tools. There are some free VPN services out there too, but most good things cost money.
yeah i can understous that restreaming includes bandwidth to redirect, that was not obvious. and even with fiber it's trick to upload 5x 10mbps. from another side, when you have zero views, at the end of the day 5x0 still equal zero, and most of twitch alternatives are clones, wioth the same zero discoverability issue.@@ianandersongray
Why is the restream replay video so bad on TH-cam
I've not had any issues here. Restream just sends the stream, and TH-cam manages the replay. And TH-cam's quality is one of the best. Check your internet bandwidth is good (upload speed).
@@ianandersongray UPLOAD Mbps
11.97
@@ianandersongray th-cam.com/video/4fWkJweKnDY/w-d-xo.html
@@supadjmq you've got a very good upload speed, so you shouldn't have any issues with the stream. Make sure you've set the stream to at least 720p when you are broadcasting. It takes TH-cam a bit of time to encode the replay video, so checkback in an hour or more (depending on the length of your video) and hopefully the higher quality stream will be ready.
