This message will appear under your Telegram channel when you start a new stream or set up a Restream Event.

It's not an error but a warning to notify you that you cannot set your stream's title via Restream for the specific platform. In this case, that's because Telegram will use your channel's or group's title directly.

What does "Title setup isn't supported for the platform" mean?

At this time, you cannot view or respond to chat comments with Restream Chat but you can check them on Telegram directly.
