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 "Title setup isn't supported for the platform" will appear. For these channels, please update your stream details on the end platform directly.


FAQ

Does "title setup isn't supported" mean that my stream won't connect?

Not at all. This is not an error but just a reminder that the channel will not display a title or description the way our supported platforms do. The stream will still go through normally despite the message.

The game I'm streaming doesn't show up in the menu.

If a game doesn't show up under the dropdown when updating all channels at once, please let our Support team know and we'll do our best to add it to the next iteration.

In the meantime, you can update each channel individually to see a list of games specific to that platform and a wider range of options. You can also update your game on the end platform directly.
