How to Live Stream using Restream - Step by Step

today I'm going to show you how to live stream using restream step number one is to go to the restream dashboard consider using my affiliate Link in the description if you need help getting there so the main navigation is this tab menu over on the left hand side here make sure you're on the home button step number two click on this new stream button right here this will then prompt up a menu and it says create a new stream do you want to restream Studio encoder video file playlist or record audio and video so this

is essentially how we go live right here click on restream Studio what's really cool is you can actually schedule your videos you can schedule a pre-recorded video to go live kind of like fake live streaming which is a really cool feature that restream does but what we want is this top one restream Studio then this is going to bring us to the studio here then a prompt will come up it says ready to join and if you hit this settings tab it allows you to change your video camera the video resolution and if you click

on the audio tab make sure you have the correct microphone and microphone setup thank click X when you're done setting that up then add your display name my name's Chris by the way please consider subscribing then click on enter studio and this essentially is the studio dashboard you can see over here in the right hand corner where it says go live that's what we're going to push when we're ready to go live before we do that though let's take a look at some of these settings so first click on this plus channels button up here

and this is where you choose the social profiles to be able to go live on if you click on add channels here a prompt will open and they have a ton of social media platforms that you can go live on they have kick Facebook twitch YouTube and like 30 other socials and all you have to do is click on there it'll prompt you to log into that social profile and and connect it to restream so the screen right here that you're seeing is what's going to show up when we go live and we have a

couple of choices here we can go live we can do a live stream where I'm just sitting here talking to the camera or we can click this plus button down here to add participants or viewers all you do is copy this link here paste it and send it to your friends you can text it to them email messenger whatever and as soon as they get it they can click on it and once they join you'll see a prompt show up down here and it says accept visitor and it'll just pop them in you can also

click this plus button to share presentations video storage screen share here I'll go ahead and screen share for a second here let's go ahead and share my canvas screen right here so as you can see here I'm sharing this tab on Google Chrome and you can see my little camera down here in the corner this would be perfect say if you're doing like reaction videos or maybe you want to play a video game all you have to do is click this plus button click on screen share and you can actually click on a window and

just choose what video game you're playing or you can just share your entire screen and what's really cool here is if we click these buttons here we can change the layout of how the screen looks like if I do this it's a split screen see how it moves there or I can do this for full screen and you can change these layouts and the settings as you're live so say if you're like talking to the camera and you wanted to sit here and talk you could switch to this and then you could also switch back

to this and have your yourself in the corner I personally actually have a YouTube channel devoted to reactions and that's the exact layout I used and I used restream to record all of it and what's also cool is you don't necessarily have to do a live stream with restream you can just choose the video recording feature say if I wanted to do a screen recording video all i' have to do is go into the recording feature and then this would say record up here instead of go live the studios look exactly the same for live

streaming versus just video recording so then as we're live here we can click on some of these tabs over here like if I click on the chat here and if I'm starting to get chat say if someone comments I can click on it and it's actually presented on the screen which is really cool so if I had a comment or say hey Chris why are you like this why this why this you know and I could put it on the screen as I talk about it it's a really cool feature we can also add custom

notes there as well that can be displayed on the screen as well we can add music sound effects all kinds of stuff could also have people scan custom QR codes that go to a website and you can also create custom banners like check this out it says welcome to the stream ask questions blah blah blah blah and you can do custom banners which is really cool and guys if at all you're interested in getting more info on restream consider using my affiliate Link in the description you'll get a free trial with that link but this
