Your all-hands meeting doesn't belong in a gallery view. With Restream, your live video plays inside a Slack channel so your team watches where they already work, instead of clicking out to a meeting link.
Restream is the only solution on the market where Slack is a streaming destination. There's nothing to install - you produce the whole broadcast in your browser, with scenes, branded graphics, guest speakers, screen share, and slides.
Why stream to Slack with Restream
- Nothing for your team to do: The stream drops into the channel as a post, and people watch it right there. No downloads, no logins, no accounts, no second app.
- Two-way chat, one window: Replies in Slack appear as chat inside Restream Studio, so you can answer questions and take comments live without switching between the two. Pull the good ones up on screen while you're at it.
- An event, not another meeting: Meeting tools were built for conversation, which is why internal broadcasts end up as gallery-view chaos with a shared screen and no branding. Restream Studio is built for the other job with branded scenes, real layouts, speakers who look like speakers. It's the difference between a stream people want to watch and one they power through.
- No attendee cap: Slack huddles top out at 50 people. Your all-hands doesn't.
- One thread, not five: Reactions and replies happen right under the stream, so the whole conversation stays in one place.
- People remember it's happening: Schedule ahead and the event posts to the channel right away, with an Add to Calendar button. When you go live, the stream appears in that same post.
- The replay doesn't go missing: Anyone who missed it hits Watch Replay in the channel, with the full thread of questions and replies still attached. No hunting through meeting recordings and transcripts.
How to stream to Slack with Restream
- Create a Restream account: Sign up for free at Restream.io.
- Start a webinar: From your home screen, click New Stream and select Live Webinar. Follow the prompts into Studio.
- Connect Slack: Click Connect Slack in the pop-up, authorize the workspace, then pick your channel from the dropdown and click Save. You can connect more than one channel.
- Go live: Set up your layouts, graphics, and guests, then start the webinar (or schedule it for later). A post drops into the channel, and replies flow back into your chat panel.

What teams use it for
- Town halls and leadership updates — reach everyone at once, with the replay waiting for other time zones.
- Product announcements — launch internally with the same production value you'd give a customer-facing event.
- Training and workshops — screen share, slides, and Q&A in thread.
- New hire onboarding — run it live, then let the recording onboard the next cohort.
- Quarterly business reviews — numbers on screen, not squinting at a shared tab.
- Virtual hackathons — stream the kickoff and demo day.
- Celebrations and team building — the stuff that shouldn't feel like a meeting.
Wrap up
Internal comms shouldn't depend on whether people click the link. Streaming to Slack with Restream puts your broadcast where your team already spends their day, with production quality that earns their attention and a replay that stays in context. Bring your next town hall into Slack.
