Multi-platform live streaming and restreaming platform

Restream's chat now keeps the full history and shows Super Chats and other stream alerts.

◆Current state
Restream's recent releases are about what happens around a stream rather than the encode itself. The November 8 update keeps every chat message, even when chat is opened late or gets thousands of messages, and shows stream alerts such as YouTube Super Chats and memberships, X follows and Kick subscriptions in the same panel. It follows Instagram Live by account connection with chat, and the Claude connector.
◆Where it's heading
The product is moving from a relay that forwards a video feed to a hub that owns the account connections, the audience data and the follow-up. Each release removes a manual step: stream keys, attendee lists, clip posting, and now opening the dashboard at all.
◆Prediction
Expect more destinations to move from stream-key relay to direct account connections with chat, following the X and Instagram pattern. Whether the Claude connector grows into scheduled or automated stream workflows is not yet visible in the entries.

◆Recent moves

  1. 5d ago

    All of live chat, plus stream alerts ⁠

    The shared chat now holds the full message history and mixes in YouTube, X and Kick alerts, with a filter for alerts only. It continues the push to make Restream's chat the one place a streamer watches.

  2. 11d ago

    Instagram Live, now with chat in Restream ⁠

    Instagram Live moves from a pasted stream key to a direct account connection, with Restream starting and ending the live and its comments landing in the shared chat. It extends the X treatment to Instagram and pairs with the Reels clip publishing added in October.

    Connect Restream to Claude ⁠

    Restream's listing in the Claude Connectors Directory lets users schedule streams, change destinations, read analytics and transcripts and create clips from a chat window. It is the first sign of Restream exposing its whole workflow to an AI client rather than only its own dashboard.

    Track Webinar Attendance ⁠

    Webinar analytics now split registrants into attended and missed, with names, emails and roles exportable per group and chat messages attributed by name. It completes the lead loop that started with registration export on October 1.

  5. 1mo ago

    Publish Clips to Instagram Reels ⁠

    Instagram Reels joins Rumble and others as a Clips destination, with clips able to post automatically while a stream is still live. It extends the short-form distribution push of the last two months.

    Control what you share with your stream link ⁠

    Shared stream links now carry per-asset permissions for recordings, analytics, chat and transcripts, plus an optional passcode. It treats a past stream as a shareable asset, in line with the webinar and lead features.
