Rather than leave behind my small but loyal band of youtube followers I wanted to be able to simulcast between the two services to reach the new audience on facebook and see everyone chatting. Like you I think these consolidated services can feel immature, however I also think Facebook is immature in this tech area and unfortunately for me I have found a much more accessible audience for my geek-style hobby live stream on facebook. Its not the end of the world for me but when live there is nothing better than interacting with my viewers and I am really pleased to be able to do that multi-platform.
Shifting to the consolidated service on restream for live stuff sorted various issues for me, with just the technical gap now on the combined chat embedded as an overlay.
#Restream.io chat for mac mac#
Wirecast is my broadcast tool of choice because I paid the licence and have learnt all of its good features and apart from it crashing occasionally on my new mac mini it's a good tool for me. Unfortunately their combined chat (see photo of me streaming below) only works in OBS or a browser (I think they use HTML5 for the chat thread). Another 2 weeks spent scanning the forums to resolve that issue and I discovered restream and it fixed it. It just sat there with a perfect working stream for my audience but would not show me the chat thread so I could not see comments until I finished the broadcast. In fact I struggled with single broadcast to Facebook with wirecast using facebook live where I could not get facebook to flip from the go-live screen with wirecast paired. I have 50+ hours streaming with them to youtube, facebook and twitch on a simultaneous stream and its rock solid for me (from wirecast) in regard to the video broadcast.
Greg Kuhnert Hi Greg you appear to have a very different experience with restream.io than I do.
