Overview
Facebook Live allows users to stream live videos directly on their profiles, groups, and public pages. While it is possible to go live with just your webcam via Facebook’s mobile app or website, many users seek a more refined and professional-looking experience. If you’re looking for a way to level up your streams, Restream can help you create engaging Facebook Live broadcasts with high-quality production features, customization options, and the ability to multistream to all your favorite channels at once.
