MULTISTREAMING

One channel, every platform at once.

The 24/7 channel is the hub; YouTube, Facebook, Twitch and the vertical platforms are simulcast spokes. Thirty destinations on Launch, unlimited on FAST, with a true 9:16 rendition for TikTok, Reels and Shorts.

How it works

How to multistream a channel

The mistake is treating social platforms as the broadcast. They are distribution; the channel is the asset.

  1. Run the channel as the hub

    The 24/7 schedule, the graphics and the library live in one playout. Everything else is a destination.

  2. Connect the destinations once

    Paste each platform’s RTMP endpoint and stream key: YouTube, Facebook, Twitch, a partner’s ingest, a distributor. Launch carries 30; FAST and up carry as many as you want.

  3. Add the vertical rendition

    On FAST and up, a 9:16 version renders beside the 16:9 broadcast for TikTok, Reels and Shorts, so the phone-shaped platforms get a phone-shaped picture, not letterboxed television.

  4. Let the platforms feed the channel

    Social viewers meet you where the algorithm put you; the guide link and the channel bring the ones who matter home, where the schedule, the analytics and the ad revenue are yours.

What you get

Simulcast without the juggling.

One schedule, one set of graphics, every destination, both orientations.

One playout

Every platform, one schedule

The same channel, graphics and ad markers feed every destination at once. No second encoder, no restream service bolted on, no operator juggling dashboards on show night.

9:16 vertical

Phone-shaped, not letterboxed

TikTok, Reels and Shorts get a true vertical rendition of the broadcast on FAST and up, so the show reads full-screen on the platforms where everyone holds the phone upright.

Owned + rented

The channel is the asset

Social reach is rented; the channel is owned. Multistreaming keeps both: the algorithm brings strangers, the channel keeps the audience, the guide, and 100% of your own ad revenue.

Clips

The show becomes the content

Automatic highlights and clipping on Studio turn each broadcast into its social aftermath, from the same feed, without an editor pulling all-nighters.

The details

Owned audience, rented reach

Multistreaming on LIVEPLUSTV is not a bolted-on restream service; it is an output of the same playout engine that runs the 24/7 channel. The schedule, the burned-in graphics and the SCTE-35 markers exist once, and every destination, your own channel, YouTube, Facebook, Twitch, a distributor’s ingest, receives the same broadcast simultaneously. Launch carries 30 destinations; FAST and up carry as many as you connect.

The vertical feed is a rendition, not a crop job

Phone-first platforms punish letterboxed television. On FAST and up the channel renders a true 9:16 vertical output alongside the 16:9 broadcast, so TikTok, Reels and Shorts receive a picture built for the way their viewers actually hold the device. One production, two orientations, no second control room.

Why the owned channel stays the center

Every operator who built an audience purely on a platform has lived the morning the rules changed. The channel is the counterweight: the schedule and programme guide are yours, the analytics count every viewer rather than what a platform chooses to share, and the ad breaks pay you, not an intermediary. Multistreaming is how you keep the social reach while the owned asset compounds underneath it, and automatic highlights on Studio close the loop by turning each broadcast into the next day’s clips. Creators starting from a back catalogue rather than a live show can go straight to turning a YouTube library into a TV channel.

MULTISTREAMING INCLUDES
Questions

Multistreaming, answered.

What is multistreaming?

Broadcasting the same live content to several platforms at once: your own channel, YouTube, Facebook, Twitch, and anywhere else that takes an RTMP feed. On LIVEPLUSTV the multistream comes off the same playout that runs your 24/7 channel, so one schedule and one set of graphics feed every destination simultaneously.

How many platforms can we stream to at once?

The Launch plan multistreams to 30 destinations, and the FAST plan and up remove the limit entirely. Destinations are standard RTMP endpoints, so YouTube, Facebook, Twitch, and any platform or partner that accepts a stream key works.

Can we output vertical 9:16 for TikTok, Reels and Shorts?

Yes, on the FAST plan and up. The channel renders a vertical 9:16 version alongside the standard 16:9 broadcast, sized for the platforms where phones are held upright, so the same live show exists in both shapes without a second production.

Why run our own channel if we are already live on YouTube and Facebook?

Because rented reach and owned audience are different assets. The social platforms decide who sees you, insert their own ads on their terms, and can change the rules any morning. Your channel is the home: the schedule, the guide, the ad revenue that stays yours, and the audience relationship nobody can algorithm away. Multistreaming lets you keep the social reach while the channel builds the asset.

Does the whole 24/7 channel multistream, or just live shows?

Your choice. Some operators simulcast the entire channel around the clock; others push only the flagship live shows to social and keep the full schedule on their own channel, which gives casual social viewers a reason to cross over. Both run from the same playout and schedule.

Do the graphics and ads come along?

The broadcast graphics, logos, lower thirds, tickers, are burned into the stream, so every destination carries the same picture. Ad breaks are yours to control on your own channel via SSAI; what the social platforms overlay on their side is governed by their rules, which is one more reason the owned channel matters.

Can we turn the live show into clips for social afterward?

The Studio plan adds automatic highlights and clipping, so the match, the sermon, or the show generates its social-sized moments from the same feed that broadcast it. Combined with the 9:16 output, the channel becomes its own social content pipeline.

How much does multistreaming cost?

It is included in the plans, not an add-on: 30 destinations from $254 per month billed yearly on Launch, unlimited destinations plus the 9:16 vertical output on FAST at $679, and automatic highlights on Studio. Delivery for your own channel is unlimited on every plan.
