No matter how you go live with Restream, you can always receive comments from your viewers. We'll show you where to find them.


Restream Studio

When you start a live stream from the Studio in your web browser, you can easily find the chat section located on the right side of the screen under the Chat tab.


Encoder Streams

When you broadcast from an encoder like OBS, vMix, or Zoom, you can still follow the conversation. From your home screen, select your stream, then click the Chat tab to view all your messages in one place.


Videos & Playlists

Even if your stream is a pre-recorded video or a playlist, you can still view and respond to audience messages. Once the stream is live, select it from your home screen and click the Chat tab on the right side of your video.


Desktop Application

Our desktop app provides a convenient solution for managing your chat without opening any browser windows. You can download it here and log in to access your comments.
