Summer is over! Let’s take a look back at all the amazing updates from Restream this August!

New Webchat!

We are thrilled to announce our brand new Webchat! With the Restream Webchat, you can quickly view all your live chat messages in one place, enable cross-platform chat for your audience, customize the theme, analyze viewer interaction, and much more!

Facebook API

We are humbled to announce that Restream now officially supports streaming to the Facebook Live API! This new integration allows Facebook streamers to add their pages, groups, and profiles to Restream with the click of a button.
