restreaming

It is possible to send a single video signal to multiple streaming hosts--for example you might want to have your video on both Youtube and Facebook simultaneously. This can be accomplished by connecting to both services at once, but this would take twice the bandwidth of a single connection. Another method is to restream the signal. If you use a service such as Restream.IO, they are the initial destination of your stream. Configure your encoder to connect with the restreaming service's RTMP server and then configure the service to send your stream on to whatever streaming hosts you wish. The cost of using such a service depend on the number of connected hosts and other factors.
