Delivering live content is all about immediacy and a direct connection with the audience.


Any additional delay you experience with Restream is always under 2 seconds.

This number is also not affected by how many channels you enable. Whether you're multistreaming to 2 channels or 20, the delay is always 2 seconds or less.

The platforms you stream may have additional delays, depending on how quickly they encode the incoming video. Any such delay on the platforms' side is normal and will still be present even if you're not streaming with Restream.
