It's simple and easy to use for individuals and small teams in particular, and great for virtual events. Restream is a the original and most robust member of the cloud-based streaming scene, but it’s a workhorse and is arguably the industry standard at present. Introducing Restream, StreamYard, and OBS Restream.io They just help you produce the stream and prepare it for distribution through a platform like PheedLoop.
It’s important to remember that these tools don’t actually stream the content themselves to your attendees. In case you’re a PheedLoop user, connecting any of these tools to our Direct RTMP ingest (per session, so you can run unlimited concurrent sessions) can be done in less than a minute via the backstage/green room. Based on our experience, the first benefit is really what event planners find most valuable. These tools are also not just designed for virtual events (for example, YouTubers, podcasters, and gamers use them extensively), but they have been adopted at a rapid pace by the events industry. Although we haven’t seen too many virtual events require simulcast features as their attendees tend to all be registered in their virtual event platform of choice, this is a great option to extend your audience reach. You can simulcast not only to your virtual event platform of choice, but to Facebook, Linkedin, Youtube, and much more. Simulcast - If you want to stream your content to more than one platform at the same time, then these tools can help greatly.This is absolutely the greatest advantage of using these tools in conjunction with your virtual event platform. Lower thirds, watermarks, pop-ups, calls to action, sponsor overlays, and more are just the start. Fancier Streams - These streaming tools allow you to do some really incredible things with relative ease.With that said, there are a few major benefits of connecting a third-party streaming service to your virtual event platform:
When you’re using a platform like PheedLoop, everything is already built-in. Why Do I Need Something Like StreamYard, OBS, or Restream? Any RTMP service you use will include a streaming delay of 10 - 30 seconds, typically. We’re not going to get into too much technical detail here, but RTMP is widely used which makes it ideal for the virtual events world from a compatibility standpoint. RTMP stands for Real-Time Messaging Protocol. Platforms like PheedLoop accept RTMP streams, and that’s how the connection is established between these two categories of platforms. Why are we talking about RTMP? It’s because all the platforms we’ll be talking about in this article, be it StreamYard, OBS, Restream, or any of the other myriad of platforms out there all ultimately stream out over RTMP. It is absolutely the most widely used and supported streaming protocol currently available, which is why just about every platform offers some way to stream to and/or from it. The rise of the importance of RTMP in the events world has been meteoric. It’s fully branded in PheedLoop, no one needs to leave the virtual event portal, and we manage authentication automatically.įor the purposes of this article, we’re going to be focusing on the third option, Direct RTMP, which at this point any virtual event platform you use should support natively. This means you can run your Zoom Meetings and Webinars or ClickMeeting meetings directly in PheedLoop. API Integration - We offer a tight API integration with two platforms, Zoom and ClickMeeting.This will be the focus of this blog post.
Designed to take in an RTMP stream from platforms like StreamYard, Restream, OBS, Zoom, Webex, and more. Direct RTMP - PheedLoop’s built-in RTMP ingest, a subset of Meet & Stream.Upload & Stream - PheedLoop’s built-in option to stream unlimited uploaded content for free, ideal for many events that understandably choose to simplify event execution by broadcasting pre-recorded content.Meet & Stream - PheedLoop’s built-in Zoom-like system offering one package that does it all, built on top of PheedLoop Meet.One key difference, however, is that the majority of platforms offload streaming ingests and playback to third-party integrations, which makes things harder on the event planner. This blog post is just as valuable if you’re not using PheedLoop, of course, but it helps to add a bit of context as most well developed virtual event platforms offer similar options to ours. Using PheedLoop, for example, there are essentially 4 key streaming options available.
