Multistream enables you to push your live streaming to multiple platforms such as YouTube, Facebook, Periscope, and more or to an external media server simultaneously. The source stream can be within 5centsCDN or any other external CDN with the following protocols such as RTMP, RTSP & HLS.
You can simply stream to our media server using any broadcast software of your choice or you can provide a source stream link and we duplicate that stream and send it to all specified locations. No extra bandwidth or hardware needed! So it is just simple as that, you have 1 stream that we can make 20+ more!
