You must now have a verified X Premium subscription to go live on X—let's set it up.


Why you need X Premium to go live

  • From July 14 2024, only verified X users with a Premium or Premium+ account can live stream on X.

  • This is a requirement from X. On Restream’s side, you can still use any of our pricing plans, including the free tier, to go live on your X Premium account.


How to get X Premium

  1. Go to https://verified.x.com to purchase a Premium X account.

  2. Complete the verification process. You need to verify your personal premium account or be a part of a Verified Organization on X.

  3. Once you're done, follow the steps in this guide to connect your X account to Restream and start streaming.


How to check if you can stream on X

  1. If you try to start streaming to an X account but haven't subscribed to X Premium, you'll see a message that "Your X account is required to have X Premium to go live".

  2. If you add X as a new channel without an X Premium subscription, you'll see a message that "You can't go live on X".

  3. If none of these messages appear when you add an X channel or try to go live, you should be able to stream to X successfully.


Requirements

  • If your account belongs to an X Verified Organization plan and you see the blue checkmark on your profile, you should already be eligible to stream.

  • You can get X Premium for free if your X account has over 2500 verified followers.

  • If you start streaming to an X account without an X Premium subscription, your broadcast will not go live on X. Your other channels will still connect.

  • If you have changed your profile photo, display name, or username within the last 3 days, you may not be eligible for X Premium. In that case, X recommends trying again later.


FAQ

I have an X Premium account, but I still cannot stream.

Make sure your account is not under review. If X is still reviewing your account, you likely won’t be able to stream. If the issue persists, please contact the X Premium support by sending a direct message to @Premium on X.

Can I live stream if I have a Basic Premium account?

No, live streaming is only available for Premium and Premium+ accounts. X users on the Basic plan won't have access.

💡 Make the most of your X Premium subscription and start multistreaming on X.
