FAQ
Why do I receive chat messages for some platforms even when I'm not live?
Why do I receive chat messages for some platforms even when I'm not live?
Some streaming platforms, like YouTube, Facebook, and LinkedIn, have a chat only for active streams and events. Others, like Twitch or Kick, have a chat that is constantly available and running under your channel.
The latter will always be connected to Restream Chat and that is why you may be seeing comments from chatters even while you're offline.
Can I read comments from a Custom RTMP channel?
Can I read comments from a Custom RTMP channel?
Chat is an API-dependent feature, which means that it is based on an integration between Restream and the end platform to receive comments.
For that reason, it cannot work with Custom RTMP channels. However, you can read chats on the end platform of your custom channel directly.
