Multistreaming — one stream, every platform, all at once.

Up to 8 destinations comfortably; technically unlimited as long as your CPU/GPU and upload bandwidth can handle the combined load. Each destination uses its own bandwidth — that's the practical limit. On a mid-range PC with 10 Mbps upload, 3–5 platforms is typical. With 50 Mbps fiber and an Nvidia card, 8+ is achievable.

No. Multistreaming is direct, peer-to-peer from your computer to each platform's ingest endpoint. No data passes through SplitCam servers, no third-party cloud middleman, no privacy implications. The same video goes straight from your machine to Twitch, to YouTube, to wherever you stream — separately and simultaneously.

Add up the bitrates of all your selected destinations and add ~20% safety margin. Streaming at 6 Mbps to Twitch + 4.5 Mbps to YouTube + 3 Mbps to Facebook = 13.5 Mbps required + margin = ~17 Mbps upload. Built-in Upload Speed Test confirms your connection before going live.

Yes — Twitch + YouTube simultaneously is the most common multistream combo. SplitCam ships with both pre-configured. Paste your stream keys once, then every Go Live click sends to both. Twitch's ToS allows simulcasting since October 2023, so this is fully compliant.

Yes — per-destination bitrate, resolution and framerate are all independent. Send 1080p60 at 6 Mbps to Twitch, 720p30 at 2.5 Mbps to Facebook, 480p30 at 800 kbps to a backup destination. Configure each in Stream Settings.

If one destination drops (e.g., Twitch ingest hiccup), the others keep streaming uninterrupted. SplitCam tries to reconnect to the dropped platform automatically. Your viewers on other platforms never notice.

Yes — SplitCam mobile (iOS and Android) supports multistreaming to the same 84+ platforms. Same Stream Settings, same one-click Go Live. Vertical canvas (9:16) is the default on mobile for TikTok / Reels / Shorts.

Yes — any platform that accepts RTMP or RTMPS works. Paste the server URL and stream key in Custom RTMP settings. Great for private webinars, white-label streaming, or platforms not pre-configured in the SplitCam list.

Yes. Since October 2023, both Twitch Affiliates and Partners can simulcast to any other platform — Kick, YouTube, TikTok, Facebook, anywhere. The only rule: your Twitch stream quality must be at least as good as the version on other platforms. Don't send 720p to Twitch while pushing 4K to YouTube. Otherwise — multistream freely.

Yes. The key difference: SplitCam runs entirely on your machine and sends streams directly to each platform (peer-to-peer). Restream, Streamlabs Multistream and StreamYard send your stream to their cloud first and then fan it out, which adds latency, costs a monthly fee on paid tiers, and shares your data with a third party. SplitCam is free forever with no cloud middleman, no fee, and nothing shared with anyone.

No. SplitCam has multistreaming built in — no plugins required. Pick destinations, click Go Live, done. SplitCam also functions as your full broadcasting studio (scenes, sources, virtual camera, browser sources) so you can replace OBS entirely if you want one app that does everything. See the full SplitCam vs OBS comparison.

Yes — simulcast (simultaneous broadcast), simulcasting, multistream, multistreaming and dual streaming all mean the same thing: sending one live stream to multiple platforms at the same time. SplitCam does all of the above under one feature.
