Read on to learn more about our powerful new suite of features.
Upgraded recording & editing tools
1. Record only
Standard plan & above
We’ve heard your feedback, and we know this update is going to be a game-changer! Now when you open Restream Studio you can use the Record Only feature to record and store audio and video content without going live.
This feature gives you greater control over the quality of the content you present to your audience. You can now record your latest podcast, interview, or heart-wrenching ballad at any time and it will be automatically saved to the cloud. Download your content for editing as needed, then schedule it to go live when you’re ready to release it to your audience.
2. High-resolution audio
Available on all free & paid plans
Ready for a major audio upgrade? Restream Studio’s new High-Res Audio feature lets you record at a sample rate of 48kHz with a 256 kbps bitrate for crystal-clear audio quality!
We’ve also expanded our audio file options to include popular AAC encoding and M4A format, so you have the flexibility to choose the audio format best suited for your project. Plus, you can now choose between mono and stereo recording, giving you the option to create a more dynamic sound.
So go ahead, drop your new single using Restream — your fans can now hear your show as it’s meant to be heard. And with high-quality audio your podcast will sound more polished and professional than ever.
3. Split track recording
Professional plan & above
Repurposing your stream’s content can be challenging — especially when you’re editing a Q&A, interview, or talk show recording with multiple participants all talking at once. With Restream’s new Split Track Recording feature you can download separate audio track recordings of every participant in the stream. (Yep, editing just got waaay easier.)
Since guests with different microphones and streaming setups can sound very different, having separate audio tracks allows you to clean up the audio for a more polished sound, such as reducing reverb for one participant’s audio while compressing another’s.
Now you can transform your audio recordings into high-quality podcast episodes and awesome teasers for social media, without wasting hours sweating over chaotic audio!
4. Content Storage
Standard plan & above
With all your recording, editing, and streaming in one place, it makes sense to have your content storage on the same platform for ease of use. You can now access up to 100GB of cloud storage for recorded audio and video content via Restream.
Your storage limit is determined by your Restream subscription, so check which plan you have to confirm your storage capacity.
Enhanced production value
1. Invite guests
Available on all free & paid plans
Inviting guests to your stream can help your content stay fresh and engaging. Whether you’re facilitating a live panel discussion, interviewing a guest for your podcast, or showcasing another music creator, Restream lets you effortlessly add multiple participants to your stream.
How many guests can join the party? With a Restream Free plan up to five guests can join your stream or recording, and up to nine guests are supported with a Professional plan!
2. Guest volume control
Available on all free & paid plans
Want better control of your audio mix? Your wish has been granted! Our new Guest Volume Control feature allows you to instantly boost your production value.
When a participant’s extra-loud mic is overpowering the mix or another participant is barely audible, simply toggle their individual volume channels to the perfect level and your live show can continue without a hitch!
3. Professional branding
Professional plan & above
Ensure your podcast looks professional by adding branded graphics. Thoughtful use of graphics and visual elements can help keep your show engaging for your audience and convey your brand or personality.
With Restream Studio you can add custom overlays, backgrounds, logotypes, nameplates, calls to action, banners, colored captions, countdown videos, and more!
4. Screen share
Available on all free & paid plans
Whether you’re sharing song lyrics, presenting discussion questions, or reviewing an app, the ability to share your screen during a stream or recording can really come in handy.
Restream’s Screen Share feature lets you jazz up your jam session, live show, or panel discussion, keeping your audience engaged and on the same page as you.
5. Connect to Zoom
Premium plan & above
Our powerful RTMP Source feature allows you to connect Restream Studio to Zoom, so you can use Zoom’s functionalities while multistreaming to multiple platforms using Restream.
Hosting a live show? Audience members can call in to your show via phone thanks to Zoom. Expecting a big crowd for your concert? You can enable up to 1000 participants to join once you connect Restream Studio to Zoom!
Next-level promotion tools
