Restream Studio review

Restream Studio is a browser studio paired with Restream's multistreaming service, so it suits talk shows, podcasts and interviews more than game capture. The free plan lets you pick 2 of 30+ social channels and stream to both at once, for example Twitch and YouTube, with Restream branding. In Studio, the free plan supports 6 on-screen participants at HD 720p, customizable scenes, overlays and backgrounds, and AI background music in 3 genres. Guests join with an invite link, and cross-platform chat collects comments from every channel in one place. You can also send OBS Studio or Zoom into Restream as the encoder, which is how gamers usually combine it with desktop software. Standard costs $19 per month billed monthly and adds a third channel, removes Restream branding and raises Studio to 10 on-screen participants. Professional at $49 per month unlocks 1080p in Studio and dual format streaming.
