Understanding Restream
Before diving into the setup process, let’s take a moment to understand what Restream is and how it works. Restream is a platform that enables you to stream your gameplay to multiple platforms at once. This means you can reach a wider audience by broadcasting to platforms like Twitch, YouTube, Facebook, and more. Restream also offers features like analytics, chat integration, and the ability to schedule your streams.
Step 1: Create a Restream Account
The first step in setting up Restream is to create an account on their website. Visit restream.io and sign up for a free account. Once you’ve created your account, you’ll be able to access the Restream dashboard, where you can manage your streams and settings.
Step 2: Configure Your Streaming Platforms
Next, you’ll need to configure your streaming platforms within Restream. To do this, go to the “Settings” tab in your Restream dashboard and click on “Streaming Platforms.” Here, you’ll find a list of supported platforms. Click on the platform you want to configure and enter your login credentials. Restream will then automatically fetch your channel information and settings.
