Requirements
Updating stream details before going live is helpful for instant streams. For scheduled streams with Restream Events, these steps are not necessary.
You can update all your channels at once or each channel individually.
Some channels do not support setting up titles from Restream. In that case, a message that says "Set your title directly on the streaming platform" will appear.
