FAQ

Does X work with Restream Chat?

Yes, you can now view chat messages from X directly on Restream. This is currently read only so the reply and relay functions are not yet supported.

To comment on someone's stream, logging into your X account is necessary, but having a paid account is not required.

Does X work with Restream Events?

You can stream to X via Restream Events, but there will be no post/notification about the future event on X ahead of time.

Can I tag somebody in my stream title?

Yes, simply @ the correct X handle (example: @Restreamio) and when you go live, the title will populate with that person's profile.

Why isn't my stream description appearing on X?

X only supports stream titles. Any description added on Restream will not appear on your X stream, but the title will.

💡 View chat messages from all of your platforms, including X, all in one place.
