5/5 stars, one of the best services out there! And I was extremely surprised to realise that they already had solutions for most of my concerns around 24/7 livestreaming.

Value per dollar

The value you get per dollar is amazing. Many features are available at no cost when other similar services charge for them or do not have them available at all.

Everything works great, but

Everything works great, the only downside that I see is the way multiplatform is setup, I cannot stop/start different platforms like Youtube, twitch and kick independently from each other, if I stop kick, the video loop resets on Youtube and twitch, starting from the first video, even though I only stop kick. The rest, great!

Thanks so much for your review!
As soon as we saw it, we got down to work to fix the issue you mention - we are happy to announce that from today you can start your multistreams without resetting the loop on your primary stream, and all other multistreams! Try it out, and thanks for pointing that out!

Hi!

We are sorry you are disappointed in our pricing, but we are actually very reasonably priced for the streaming powerhouse that we offer; with upstream, you get a 100gb, a stream designer which can embed websites, images, videos, interactive elements - including timers from elsewhere on the internet.

Many of our users are using timers and similar elements in their stream, so we are sure you could also find a way to make it work for you!

We recommend you reach out to us in the Chatbox, so we can find a custom plan that works for you!

Excellent Support

My experience with this company has been excellent! The interface is simple and easy to understand and I was up and streaming with practically no fuss. I'm a bit behind the curve when it comes to tech, so this is very much appreciated. Whenever an issue has arisen (sometimes my own fault) the live chat support has been a godsend. I have had incredible interactions with both Sebastian and Bojan and each time, I leave better educated and with any difficulties resolved in minutes. Thanks from Starlight Radio!

Perfect for streaming pre-recorded video for as many hours as you want!

I used Upstream to stream on YouTube a webinar made up of several pre-recorded interviews, divided into two 4-hour sessions. Everything went perfectly: excellent streaming quality and over 1.200 participants were fully satisfied.
The menu and features of Upstream are very simple to use.
I also ran several tests in the days leading up to the event, playing the interviews on a loop for over 30 hours, and everything worked flawlessly. The start and stop scheduling functions were also perfect.
Make sure to follow the video specifications recommended by Upstream (e.g., 30 fps), otherwise the videos may not appear in the stream.
One thing to note (at least in my case): once I used the stream for testing, when I reused the same stream for further tests or for the actual live event, I had to look for the correct YouTube link in my YouTube Studio as Upstream didn't recreate it.

The stream and its capabilities work…

The stream and its capabilities work fine but it would better if it could run concurrent and we NOT have to come back to reset it whereas it keeps running.
Please if possible rectify, revert and advise...
