Kick streaming software for your live setup
Restream is Kick streaming software for creating and delivering your live shows. Build a broadcast in Restream Studio right in your browser, or keep using OBS and send your stream to Kick through Restream. Host a talk show with guests, run a Q&A, or stream gameplay with the scenes you’ve already built. Kick also lets you go live directly from its own site, so Restream is most useful when you want guests, a shared production space, or the option to reach more than one platform.
Choose how you stream to Kick
Create your broadcast in Restream Studio
Restream Studio runs in your browser, so you don’t need OBS for this workflow. Add your camera and microphone, share your screen, pick a layout, and arrange everything on stage before you go live. Guests join from a link, which makes Studio a good fit for interviews, Q&A sessions, and co-streams with other creators. Follow the Studio setup guide to prepare your first stream.
Keep your OBS scenes and stream through Restream
If your scenes, alerts, and audio are already set up in OBS or other encoding software, you can keep them. OBS produces the stream and sends it to Restream, and Restream delivers it to Kick and any other channels you select. Your scenes and production workflow stay the same — you only change where the stream goes. See how to go live with streaming software for the connection details.
