Repurposing live video content is an effective way to get more exposure.

Yes, it requires the recording of your stream, and yes, we save it in Restream at a Standard plan or higher. 

Now back to repurposing.

Here is what you can do afterward (& get):

- Rebroadcast your stream to **get more views on other platforms**.
- **Cover multiple time zones** by replaying your broadcasts.
- Add interactive elements over your stream for **extra engagement**.
- Trim your streams into short **highlights for Instagram and TikTok**.
- Download audio only and **create a podcast** from your stream.

Let's dive deeper into every single item.

You can [schedule the stream recording to go live](https://restream.io/upload-and-stream) at a different time or on other platforms than your original broadcast.

Streaming recorded content is great for:

- Generating **brand awareness** across new time zones and audiences.
- Boosting **attendance** for your upcoming streams with [live teasers](https://restream.io/blog/promote-your-event-with-live-teasers/).
- Launching **premieres and live announcements** with extra polish.

If you don't have a stream recording yet, no worries – you can schedule any video as a live stream. Simply upload it to Restream and pick the platforms and time. Voila!

## Convert your stream into a Playlist

If you want to go beyond simple recorded live streams and **drive more engagement from your audience**, check [Playlists](https://studio.restream.io/start-playlist?a).

It's a great way to have more control and flexibility:

- Include **multiple videos** or recordings at once.
- Add **QR codes** for your viewers to scan.
- Show **captions or a scrolling ticker** over your content at any time.

You can also create a **best-of-series** or host a longer broadcast.

Once scheduled, a playlist will go live automatically, even if you are away from your device.

## Trim your stream to create highlights

Turn your stream recording into short clips for Instagram Reels, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts with [Restream’s trimmer feature](https://support.restream.io/en/articles/8370589-video-trimmer-beta).

Once you’re done editing, you can download your highlights to post on other platforms or convert into a [live teaser](https://restream.io/blog/promote-your-event-with-live-teasers/) for your next broadcast.

## Turn your stream into a podcast

After you finish the stream, download the recording as a video in MP4 format or as an audio-only M4A file. 

You can also export your recording to Descript in one click and edit audio like you edit text.

To make your live video into a podcast, keep these tips in mind:

- Remove your live audience interactions, as listeners won’t see the chat.
- Cut out pauses, mistakes, or background noises for a smoother experience.
- Record a new intro if the original broadcast intro mentions being live.

Upload the refined MP3 files to a podcast hosting service such as Buzzsprout or Podbean. These services can store your files and generate an RSS feed to distribute your podcast to services like Apple Podcasts or Spotify.
